Subject: OT: Bill Ackman
The following is is OT, but I suppose Bill Ackman is a familiar name here. What he says here

I think is very enlightening.


P.S.: It reminds me on the 10(!) years long lawsuit which ended last year and which I financed, to help an American friend to reclaim money she lend 1999/2000 to a childhood friend to enable him to make his first movie, about a wedding; the guy who then said "Forever grateful ... You are my Angel who made all possible" became a wellknown Hollywood director, working with Charlie Sheen, Whoopie Goldberg etc. --- but somehow all those years "forgot" to pay back his loans to her. 10 years of dealing with US lawyers and the US justice system I will never forget.

Lesson: If someone cheats you in the US: Accept it and walk away. Donīt try to claim your rights in the legal system. You might win in the end (we did), but itīs just not worth it, as you have incredible work, stress on relationships - and in the end no matter how right you are after all the expenses you might get just peanuts. If your name is not Bill Ackman, you canīt afford it.

Sorry for ranting, but this is personal - and not the most brilliant side of the US, see Bill Ackmanīs post.
