Chapter 626

Name:Hollywood Hunter Author:Just Do
Easter on Sunday is very lively and warm.

The westrow family invited many Group executives and their families to take a yacht to Santa Cruz Island West of Los Angeles for a picnic. During the outing, they also organized various Easter activities for the children. The party didn't end until the evening, and the guests and guests enjoyed themselves.

Simon directly brought two Jennie and three children to show up in front of you this time, which is a public admission of some revelations during this period.

The participants were all the core executives of the westrow system. They had heard about the intimate relationship between Simon and the female assistant, so they didn't have any special feelings. When they got along with each other, they expressed sincere wishes for a lucky little girl. Many women felt Simon's concern for the mother and daughter of the female assistant, and even gave birth to a baby girl "Children.".

The brief Festival warmth did not change the political and public opinion chaos of westero system.

Monday, April 4.

The westrow system launched another more vigorous offensive after it banned the Hurst group two weeks ago.

Paul Ramat, a former owner of an auto parts factory in Edwardsville, Illinois, pointed out that the Edwardsville reporter, a local newspaper, published six consecutive articles accusing his company of tax evasion and tax evasion between 1986 and 1987 because of his personal feud with a top newspaper official The false reports on the quality of the products were later proved to be false, because the authorities and their partners were misled by the newspapers to investigate and cut off cooperation, which eventually led to the bankruptcy of his factory.

Paul Ramat filed a lawsuit against the Edwardsville reporter for malicious defamation leading to serious damage to personal property, demanding a total of up to $60 million in compensation. At the same time, 263 workers who lost their jobs because of the closure of the parts factory also jointly filed a class action suit against the Edwardsville reporter, claiming more than $50 million.

Look to San Antonio, Texas, in the south of the United States.

In 1991, there was an appalling case of priest's assault on boy in San Antonio. Before and after that, as many as 21 victims were recorded by the police.

The priest involved was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment.

Although justice is late for many years, it comes slowly.

However, in the course of the case investigation, San Antonio impression, a local newspaper in San Antonio, in pursuit of news hot spots to attract public attention, revealed the personal information of 15 of the victims through direct or indirect means in the case of clear protests from many victims' families and even warnings from local prosecutors, which eventually led to the death of a 12-year-old woman The other 14 children whose personal information was exposed also suffered a serious impact on their personal lives.

Now, 15 families are jointly suing the impression of San Antonio for serious violations of citizens' privacy, demanding a formal apology and a total of $80 million in compensation for the 15 victims.

Connecticut, on the east coast of the United States, and Stanford, just north of Greenwich.

during the most prosperous period of the US real estate bubble in 80s, a group of owners in Standford bought 61 apartments in a new district with a total of 200 properties in the northern part of the city before and after 1986.

Because of the subsequent litigation and the economic turmoil caused by the 87 stock market crash, many property owners have failed to get the compensation they deserve.

After many victims communicated with each other, they found that most of the owners chose to buy houses in the residential area because of the influence of the large advertisement in the local Stanford advocate. At that time, serious factual words such as "energy conservation and environmental protection" were even used as slogans in the advertisement.

As a result, 61 owners who are still trapped in the uncompleted residential area filed a lawsuit against the Stanford advocate on Monday after Easter, asking the newspaper to make a public apology and claim compensation totaling more than 60 million US dollars for personal property loss, potential health damage and other damages.

The exposure of three lawsuits with a total claim amount of 250 million US dollars directly shocked the American society, and the large traditional media groups in North America felt a chill.

There is no doubt that the three newspapers involved in the lawsuit are all Hearst group's media.

Moreover, just these three lawsuits, the huge claims of 250 million US dollars, have already equivalent to one tenth of the total assets of the Hurst family.

The westrow system did not hide the fact that it was the driving force behind the three lawsuits. The detailed reports of the three lawsuits on that day appeared in the front page of the igritte portal.

By contrast, a former vicar maid who betrayed the Westeros and was sued for a huge $12 million breach of contract on that day is less noticeable.

With the strong concern of the whole American society, more news was exposed on the Internet and traditional media on that day.With the help of the media victims legal aid foundation, the initiators of the three lawsuits have hired the top lawyers in the United States. Industry insiders predict that with the huge amount of claims involved in the three lawsuits, unless a settlement can be reached in a short period of time, the most conservative estimate is that the cost of lawyers in each lawsuit will be more than 10 million US dollars. If the case is settled, the cost of lawyers will be more than 10 million US dollars The three lawsuits are protracted, and the cost is even more incalculable.

Even if it is not possible to explore the details of a specific agreement signed between a foundation and its recipients, it is obvious that the westrow system will not easily accept the settlement of the Hurst group.

On the other hand, as defendants, the amount of compensation in any of the three cases, once won, will be enough to make the newspapers involved go bankrupt. After all, the net profit of the whole Hurst group in 1993 is only 169 million US dollars. Moreover, even if these newspapers really go bankrupt because of the litigation, according to the relevant federal laws and regulations, in the future, both the litigation cost and the final compensation will be very high It will be undertaken by the parent company Hurst group.

Simon westero's move is absolutely ten times hotter than Hurst group's previous exposure of other people's affairs. Of course, except for Simon westero, no one else in the United States or even in the world can afford this move.

Now, no matter how the Hurst group deals with it, it is bound to bear more serious consequences than when it was blocked by the westrow system half a month ago.

If you want to deal with this lawsuit passively, you'll have to lose the lawsuit and pay US $250 million.

If we respond positively, the cost of westrow system for each lawsuit will not be less than 10 million, and the cost of Hurst group can not be less than that of Simon westrow.

The only solution to this problem is a quick settlement.

However, the conflict between the two sides has lasted for several years. In the past week, the whole Hurst group has spared no effort to expose Simon westrow's various unknown privacy, which has been in the same situation. It is obviously impossible for westero to agree to a quick settlement.

Moreover, the three lawsuits exposed today are probably just the beginning.

Now that he's got it, Simon westero can't do it three times.

In CNN's report on the incident that afternoon, a law professor from Columbia University analyzed that according to the exposed materials, the biggest reason why Simon westero took the lead in bringing these three lawsuits may be that these three lawsuits are supported by relatively sufficient evidence.

In the case of auto parts factory in Illinois, Paul Ramat, the victim, has been suing that newspaper all these years, but before westrow system provided support, facing the powerful Hurst group, Ramat, who had been left alone after the enterprise went bankrupt, had no chance of winning at all.

The professor also pointed out that Simon westero did not directly sue the Hearst group for the false information he encountered during this period, but indirectly chose to support the victims of the vulnerable groups at the bottom of the society. This decision is even more subtle.

If westrow sued the Hurst group with his own experience, it would be difficult to obtain the support and sympathy of the media and the public. We would only watch the tit for tat between the two consortia with a spectator mentality.

Now, in this indirect way to crack down on the Hearst group, especially the case in Illinois, we have not forgotten that hundreds of employees lost their jobs because of the bankruptcy of the auto parts factory, and the plaintiffs in the other two cases are all from the bottom of the society. Then, whether they are active or forced, the media can not show harsh and hostile attitude, and the general public can only be satisfied They tend to sympathize with them.

Hurst group will not be indifferent if it suddenly becomes the defendant in three huge claims cases.

On Monday afternoon, a number of evening papers under the Hearst group fiercely attacked on the front page that the three lawsuits were under the control of Simon westero with ulterior motives, and accused Simon of using his huge financial resources to humiliate the news freedom of the United States, which has lasted for more than two hundred years. It was a criticism of the Federal Constitution. At the end of the 19th century, in order to promote the sales of his own newspapers, the Hearst family had to pay more attention The ethnic minorities used very despicable means to provoke the war between the United States and Spain, which directly led to the unfortunate death of tens of thousands of people on both sides of the war.

In 1901, because the supporters of the Hurst family were defeated in the presidential election, the newspapers of the Hurst group went so far as to publicly incite the public to assassinate the president. As a result, in 1909, no matter how hysterical and angry the Hurst family was, the subpoenas for the three lawsuits were rare in the United States government on the third day after the lawsuit was launched Efficient delivery to the head of the corresponding newspaper of Hurst group.

So far, the Huster family, who has been arrogant for a century, has finally realized what kind of behemoth they are facing, and how vulnerable their media weapons, which used to frighten American business politicians, are in the face of absolute overwhelming power.

Out of the pitiful mentality, other media groups in the United States have more or less raised objections to Simon's behavior, only with the lessons of the Hurst family. These voices are very cautious.

In politics, among the many candidates for Congress who are busy in the mid-term elections, even David merroth, who is supported by the Hurst family, has chosen to keep quiet, but there are always some outstanding ones.Craig Ames, a Democratic senator from Wisconsin who has always been clinging to the westrow system, tactfully expressed sympathy and support for the plaintiffs in the three lawsuits, and immediately pointed the finger at Simon, saying once again that although the young super rich has done a right thing for the time being, his huge wealth still needs to be strictly limited, otherwise it is bound to be destroyed It has caused great potential damage to American society.

The igritte portal did not respond to Craig Ames's remarks at all. After all, the response was to raise the awareness of the other party. Westrow's team, which is responsible for sniping the far left candidate, has quietly moved into Wisconsin, which is the main force to attack the other party.

Since it is the "litigation bombing" plan, there are certainly more than three lawsuits against the Hearst group.

As some media have analyzed, the main reason for choosing these three cases is that the evidence is relatively solid, and the victims of the three lawsuits are relatively vulnerable groups. Even if they are not confirmed, most media dare not criticize them.

In addition to the three lawsuits, the team in charge of Uncle George Norman of Jennifer is also collecting and collating the information of 27 other potential lawsuits. Most of the lawsuits and claims will not be as eye-catching as the three that have been made public. In the future, they will be thrown out one after another, which will be enough for Hurst group to run.

Although no announcement of recruitment nature has been clearly issued, after the three lawsuits, more victims of Hearst group's media have contacted the westrow system one after another, hoping to obtain legal aid.

In the next few years, even if all the lawsuits are not won, the huge litigation costs will be enough to erode all the profits of the Hurst group and further devour the foundation of the Hurst family.

What's more, it's impossible to win a lawsuit.

Simon's request to the top law firms is that if they win the lawsuit, there will be a steady stream of cooperation in the future. If they lose, there will be no future.

Therefore, the actual situation is that most of the lawsuits actually win a lot.

Even if the final amount of compensation may not reach the number of lawsuits, but as long as any lawsuit wins, the huge claim is enough to make a newspaper of Hearst group go bankrupt.

While the Hurst family is struggling with a series of sudden lawsuits, the huge westrow system is still operating as usual without much interference.

April 6, Wednesday.

When most of the media and the public focus on the litigation dispute between westrow system and Hurst group, one of the core enterprises of westrow system, danelis Entertainment Group formally submitted an IPO application to the securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
