schestowitz-pi2Kelly was a spouse of the 'founder' and a Director at the time, so she knew what was going on and she, unlike her former husband, is based in the UK and isn't a fugitive in the US.Mar 07 11:07
schestowitz-pi2The CEO who left very recently knew nothing about this (or wasn't complicit) because he was not in the company at the time, but maybe he could see paperwork or was given verbal memos about this taboo subject. Maybe the inquest has, in its own right, motivated the departure (fear of being held accountable when real address was pursued).Mar 07 11:07
