cosmo...on the contrary, I believe intent would be among the
easiest things to prove in this case. The examples are endless,
but for a simple example, don't you think a Chrmn of the Bd who
was on his way to Milan for the big meeting as would the CEO of
the co., know that the keynote speaker did not have a "schedule
conflict". Granted, this is a lesser important example, but
bear in mind that discovery will likely turn many, many of the
suspected issues into fact. What patents of real value did we
get from that patent selling co.? What did we actually gain
from the office in the Canadian tundra? How do you think Lucent
will stand up to discovery? All are not iron-clad, but many will
become so under discovery and fraud will be the issue, not whether
twisted pairs refers to copper wires or Brad and Ray.

cheers,

Sad to say, but Ray and Brad have the intent angle well-covered, that was the genius behind their scam. It was so elaborate and multi-faceted, they will have no problem defending themselves. It is obvious that all of the "sue 'em" cheerleaders here have never been involved in civil litigation. Anyone can file a lawsuit for a few hundred bucks. However, taking it to trial could easily cost 3-$500,000 and it will probably be dismissed fairly early in the process. I seriously doubt that any attorney would take such a case on contingency, as Gary in PB found out.
