You can count on him being here. He will be here until they stop paying him.<G> Just yell "SUI" and he will show up. Small companies frequently do not want to spend money on anti-defamation campaigns when they can use the money for buying weapons and building new products. However, we have seen that the effects of this type of FUD campaign can hit the stock price hard. We know that this kind of PR can be effective by looking at the stocks that were overhyped by the media. Some the companies were total frauds like BRE-X. There are lots of other examples. Jim K.

Great! Then I hope you don't mind sharing your legal insights with the thread. o How do you see the effect of the fraud verdict on other US cases? o Do you find it likely that the fraud and the IFX verdicts be overturned? o If you are familiar with the European laws, could you comment on what you expect out of Europe. o If Rambus wins the European cases but loses the US ones, how is the memory market going to be affected? Will fabs produce DDR royalty free in the US but are prevented to sell it in Europe? your input is much appreciated, Sun Tzu

Hi tinkershaw; Re: "Too bad Rambus doesn't dish out a little more IR money, or covert propoganda money to provide a counter. I'd be happy to build up a relevant database and ethically, credibly, and honestly discuss these issues." Kind of funny. A lawyer offering to take "covert propoganda [sic] money" in order to "ethically, credibly and honestly" discuss the issues. On a company that had a fraud verdict go against them in a US court. A company who's primary argument in court is that while what they did "may not have been ethical, well, at least it was legal (sort of) (maybe)". A company who's secondary argument is "Sure, our hands are dirty, but look around, so is everybody else's!" BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Tinker, it's pretty clear that the reason you thought Rambus wasn't going to be convicted was because you've been representing clients who were guilty as hell for too long. -- Carl P.S.
