Sorry for the slow reply. The “boys down under” comment refers to the VLL “gang of four” Connie Nash always writes about. They had nothing to do with the Attia v Google case.
You are correct. MAXD had a business arrangement with Attia. That business arrangement was ended after Greg Halpern went around Attia’s attorney and attempted to settle the Attia case without their knowledge. He also settled the MAXD/VLL v Google case without the knowledge or approval of the VLL group. I won’t speak to the decision to give Halpern limited POA over anything as I was not involved, but it does seem crazy. My understanding is that Halpern was allowed to negotiate but not settle without approval. My comments were unintentionally misleading as I was attempting to make a character assessment of Greg Halpern using the similarities between going behind Attia’s and VLL’s backs to make a deal benefitting himself and not the group or the MAXD shareholders.
As to the sanctions question, I was being a bit facetious in my comments. It was Greg Halpern who talked Attia into the legal approach they used and placed himself in charge of the case, and it cost Attia. No one else involved in MAXD wanted to pursue these lawsuits and turn the company into a patent troll, it was all Halpern’s idea. In my opinion, MAXD the company is not legally liable, but Halpern should be held morally responsible for his overall litigious approach to life.
Greg Halpern has no self-serving right to steal the MAXD technology as it not only violates the court order but is also illegal as all MAXD assets were pledged to Harvey Vechery in the since defaulted notes.
