Year 2, week 40: WhistleBlower
Today I received a letter relating to the Moldy litigation I’m involved with against TopFirst and UpTights. It came from someone working within the wireless company we’re suing and stated among other things, that “if you want to know exactly what the company knows about the detrimental health effects of wireless technology, particularly on the elderly then I suggest we meet.” The suggested meeting place was the top of Chancery Lane and the date was tomorrow evening. To be honest, without some sort of whistleblower evidence our case is pretty high risk at the moment so it’ll be interesting to see what he has to offer. I mentioned it to ClichéClanger who sounded pretty excited, I think as much by the conspiratorial manner of the approach as by the potential content. So tomorrow I’ll be looking out for a man carrying a red umbrella at the top of Chancery Lane.
I wonder if this may have anything to do with the revenge that TopFirst is clearly plotting...

Tread carefully! Sounds like your old colleague TopFirst is about to set you up to me!

This sounds like a trap.If anyone goes it should be Clicheclanger, not you as counsel. Overstepping your role could give ammunition to TopFirst. Ask yourself why a letter came to you, and not your instructing solicitor...and whether the sender knew enough about you to know you couldn't resist going yourself.

More importantly watch out for the umbrella. It may have a poison tip.

Go for it mate - gift horse, gob - etc.
Anyway, how's it going with the shares you're going to be buying in these companies?
