One thing is for sure reading through this bodge of a motion, McBill is living in a dream world.  I read it through and had to chuckle when I see that they only paid Hyperion $22,250.00 instead of the full $25K (there's a little note from Mr. Kouri saying McEwen told him he paid the other $2,250, but there's no proof...bwah ha ha).  Let that be a lesson to trusting McBill.


Have no clue why you would say that.  This is a slam dunk for AI.  They paid they 25K to Hyperion (plus an additional 15K+), they requested the source code after paying for it.  They have now severed the contract per the contract terms, and Hyperion has done everything that AI has said they did.  Whats Hyperions response going to be.  They got paid, so they cant use that one.  Its not AIs fault that Benji said they'd sell the OS for 25K and signed the contract to that effect.   Hyperion and the Friedens are in big trouble over this and the best they can hope for is just losing the OS.

But what makes me wonder is, if AI V1.0 (the Washington State ones, who are now closed and legally don't have to service their debts) are gone and the contract was with them, then, why is it still valid now with Amiga V2.0?

In my case, I'm having difficulties collecting because technically it was a different company.  So, shouldn't the same rules apply?  Technically, it was a different company that made the contract with Hyperion.


AI sold the OS to Itec including the contract with AI, in fact we see Itec is who actually bought the OS from Hyperion for 25K.  What you need to find out is where did the money for that sale go, and why wasnt it used to pay down your (or Matts, or fill in the blanks debt).   The think I dont understand Bolten is why are you always after AI, I know you won the suit against them BUT YOU ALSO WON the suit against Bill McEwen, and unless he declared bankruptcy, that big check he got should have been used to pay you.  Him being paid all that money is public record as part of the Garry Hare lawsuit, get him dragged into court and get the half of the money he owes you at least.  He owns 10% of OS 4.0 according to the new records, I'm guessing he'd rather clear the debt with you then you get that.   Push at Bill, and you are much more likely to get money then the shell game that Ben came up with thats now biting him in the ass.
