WMI is the Parent, they are not responsible for the actions of the Child (WMB).. I have been saying this for over a year now and it was nice to hear Adam Stroschak of Weil argue in our favor today, this tells me Weil is going to use the strucutral defense or Veil defense agaisnt any charges against the parent for the actions of the child..
