Defending his partners. They offer each other 'protection'. By the way, Denmark
is still under investigation, so perhaps someone will come knock on the door
of his company. The problem is that Microsoft has corrupted so many countries
simultaneously (with evidence) that human capacity is too limited to be
effective. The 'mainstream' press hardly talks about, but luckily the
prominence of the press, especially on the Internet, is declining.
