Seems his old friend and former Renraku boardmember, Miles Lanier, has been
appointed the Director of Security, or somesuch title. So Miles is back in
business, which means that Novatech is going to have some nova-hot security
awful fast with Miles in charge. Sorry shadowbabies.
It's also been a horrible day for Fuchi. It's mostly a privately owned stock,
at least until today. Shortly after making his announcement, Villiers sold
what is estimated to be half of his shares in Fuchi on the *open market.* If
Yamana and Nakatomi thought White Monday was bad, they hadn't seen anything
yet. The markets got dragged down again as shares of Fuchi plummeted.
They're starting to climb back up though, as Yamana and Nakatomi fight for
control of the open shares, hoping one of them will be able to buy faster.
It's laughable though, they can't seem to do anything more than matche each
other.
Another twist of the knife? One of Fuchi's Corporate Court Justices, Lynn
Osborne has thrown her lot AND her seat on the Court in with Novatech; which
of course deprives Fuchi of a Court Seat....
What's left of Fuchi is screaming bloody blue murder, but it looks like they
can't do a *legal* thing about it; seems that Villiers is even slicker than we
all thought. One of the companies he owns is RJR International. One of the
founding members of the Corporate Court. And part of the Corporate Court
Charter states that founding members retain a seat in perpetuity...
Wow.
That Villiers is one slick bastard. Don't know how he pulled it off, but he
ripped apart Fuchi to create his own baby megacorp under his complete control.
And oh yeah, "hurray" for the UCAS. Novatech is based out of Boston.
Damn, but if someone had told me this yesterday I would have rolled over their
toes and accused them of telling stupid lies...I still am having trouble
believing it!]<<<<<
