The letter to the administrators states: “A heavy suspicion arises… that within the resolution you’ve gotten made, you’ve gotten gone to extremes and acted unlawfully, apparently with full information of the actual fact, or deliberate blindness to it, that your choices would possibly trigger the corporate great, irreversible harm. You’ve gotten breached your fiduciary responsibility and your responsibility of care in the direction of the corporate and its shareholders and have acted out of extraneous pursuits – the private pursuits of Mr. Chaim Katzman as controlling shareholder – which don’t have anything to do with the great of the corporate and bonafide enterprise sense. We’d stress that if it emerges that you’ve got certainly breached the responsibility of care and the fiduciary responsibility that you just bear in the best way you’ve gotten acted in making these choices, you’re liable to bear private duty for it. It must also be talked about that, underneath regulation, breach of fiduciary responsibility can’t, in precept, be coated by insurance coverage or indemnity.”

These transactions had been wrapped by you in one other garb, synthetic and compelled, of a dividend distribution to shareholders and an providing of the corporate’s shares with a view to elevate capital, and decked with noble justifications and issues of the great of the corporate and its shareholders.”
