Who are "the boys down under"? Are they mentioned in any filings or court documents?

MAXD Corporation had some kind of business arrangement with Eli Attia with respect to Attia's claims against google. This was public knowledge via press releases, SEC filings, and court filings.

It would be moronic for someone to make a contract / give power of attorney to Greg Halpern (the person) in these circumstances, when it's obvious the relevant parties are Eli Attia & MAXD corporation. So it sounds like these suckers got what they deserved.

There's this amazing pattern with MAXD of people signing contracts with people who clearly do not own what they are purporting to sell.

One final point in reference to the Attia case, Greg Halpern had a deal with the boys down under. They gave him limited power of attorney to negotiate in the Google case, and he went around their backs and broke their agreement by settling the “life altering multi-billion dollar” Google case he had been promoting to the shareholders for years for absolutely nothing. Nada. Less than uno dinero. Without the knowledge or approval of his Aussie/New Zealand partners I might add. They were understandably blind sided with this action and very angry. Once again, Halpern doing what’s best for him without the slightest consideration for others. Partners, shareholders, or business associates, makes no difference. Its always been all about Halpern.

As for the sanctions: The blame quite clearly lands on attorney Nick Kliewer. The sanctions extend to lawyer Ken Kula & Eli Attia ostensibly because they were responsible to supervise Kliewer's actions. These sanctions would probably not have been levied if Attia had wisely withdrawn his lawsuit before the courts made a ruling on sanctions.

I suspect MAXD is not legally responsible for the sanctions because MAXD *WAS* smart enough to withdraw from the lawsuit. Morally, MAXD may have some culpability because they contributed/sanctioned the choice of hiring Ken Kula.

I don't see how Greg Halpern could have personal liability for contributing to the bad choice of hiring Kula- any input he had seems within his actions as MAXD executive.

Yes, Attia should seek damages from MAXD and Greg Halpern for those sanctions.
