I would be willing to bet money right now that despite all of the bluster and posturing to the contrary, neither Chad Abizeid nor Deepak Mehta are going to be dumb enough to try to follow in the footsteps of Mr. Cohen by wasting perfectly good money pursuing a claim that they cannot possibly win. My personal theory is that Cohen only did so because he got flim-flammed by the fast talking Maikel Uerlings, and now he is just hoping against hope that he can find some way to get at least some of his money back.... which will actually never happen. He thinks that he can somehow recoup his losses, suffered at the hands of Uerlings, but I think it's fair to say that he hasn't exactly demonstrated a firm grip on either reality or rationality. Abizeid and Mehta are not quite so deluded, I think. They know what they did and how they did it. Based on that, I have to believe that they both understand that suing AFRINIC is only going to prove to be a black hole for them, financially speaking. (That assumes, of course, that AFRINIC doesn't just try to cut some secret back-room deals with these guys just to persuade them to go away.... which I sincerly hope that AFRINIC will not do.) >Regarding the ongoing court case ref: Afri Holdings Ltd & Ors v/s AFRINIC (SC/ >COM/WRT/000295/2020), the matter is still pending before the Honourable Judge >Chambers (Commercial Division) of the Mauritian Supreme Court. I don't think there is a single thing about that lawsuit, or its handling thus far, or even the judge overseeing it that could in any way seriously be called "honourable". In any sane judicial system this would not have been allowed to drag on already as long as it has, and would have been tossed out long ago. There's nothing at all honourable about the Supreme Court of Mauritius taking this long to resolve what is and what should have been an open and shut case of fraud. Nor is there anything which is in the least bit honorable about the Supreme Court of Mauritius shrouding the entire proceedings in a cloak of impenetrable mystery, or abuot the parties to the lawsuit doing likewise. I can certainly see however why the Supreme Court of Mauritius wants minimal publicity about this whole affair, and more specifically, minimal publicity about their own role in perpetuating this farce for months on end, with no end in sight anytime soon. God made the Universe in seven days, but the Supreme Court of Mauritius apparently can't manage to figure out a rather straightforward, although novel fraud scheme, even given more than seven months to do so. Perhaps they are still searching for their powdered wigs and buggy whips.
