Everyone out there who's ever had to deal with Netsol's gross incompetence
would probably get a kick out of the details found in Michael Johnson's
legal filings:
http://www.icannwatch.org/article.php?sid=169
Other interesting bits found in Johnson's filing that ICANNWatch doesn't
excerpt include details of how Netsol/Verisign illegally shut off the
health coverage for Mr. Johnson's premature twins as they fired him, and
how they had security escort him out --
"After the Exit Conference Plaintiff learned that Defendants had arranged
for the Verisign Security Man to escort him out of the building in full
view of all Verisign employees, an event that was never done to any
Director or executive employee in the Herndon office, and such was
intended to be humiliating, embarrassing, and belittling in stature and
personal reputation and basic dignity. The Verisign Security Man was so
embarrassed for Plaintiff that he insisted in carrying his valise to his
car and shook his hand and apologized, stating that no other white
officer or executive was ever so escorted from this building." (page 32)
The relief Johnson seeks for the whole debacle is somewhere in the
$100-200 million range .. !
Why hasn't mainstream press picked up on this yet?
