  1. Has anyone read anything about who the middle man was who misled Ferretti?
    I'd be curious to know if there was any apparent authority for his
    negotiating on Sony's behalf that might bind Sony under European law.

    My understanding is that there were actually two Americans involved:
    Dennis Penny and Russell Blake - both from Lancaster, PA.

    Take care,

    Isn't Pennsylvania where the Noble House cycling teams was "based"?

  4. The only "binding" I can imagine going on with that guy right now is
    the slowly hardening cement around his ankles. Nobody crosses
    Giancarlo Ferretti and gets away with it.

    Dumbass -

    No way Sony's gonna be "bound". Sony is much, much, much bigger than
    any of the other parties involved. Money=influence and
    influence=getting your way.

    thanks,

    You clearly don't have enough information to make an intelligent comment.

    As always, you are correct.

    Big fish like Ferretti strong-arm powerless corporations like Sony on a
    regular basis.

    What was I thinking?

    thanks,

    You weren't thinking. People in business seeking to make deals do so by
    rules called laws. When there is a representative of one or both parties
    involved, the law of principal and agency comes into play. Real and
    apparent authority are significant issues under US law when things go bad.
    Some of the same principles are at work in the Continental legal systems as
    well. Hence my question, regarding which you have neither relevant factual
    information about the transaction nor the Continental legal knowledge to
    reach a cogent opinion. In other words, you're still a moron and acting
    like one.

    Thanks. Enjoy our evening.

    Oh, I agree.

    I predict next year there will be a Sony Team DS'd by Giancarlo
    Ferretti.

    You heard it here first.

    thanks,

    Doubtful and you won't have a clue as to why.

    Interesting. Any idea whether or not he was dealing with Ferretti? I would
    think it's unlikely, but you can never be certain. Maybe John Wordin is
    involved. :-)
