Another article today (not directly related to S3 but indirectly via Jaussi): Swiss authorities are investigating whether the attack on Jaussi actually happened. After looking into mobile phone data, and talking to over 40 people, prosecution suspects the attack never happened, and are now charging Jaussi with intent to mislead, arson and forgery of documents.

Curiouser and curiouser...

This is surreal. Was it maybe a suicide attempt when he knew the company was going under?

This type of behavior is not unheard of.  At a company where I worked:
Quote
In this case, the CEO of Aptix, Amr Mohsen, forged a notebook in order to make the patent case stronger. When suspicions were raised, he staged a break-in of his own car to get rid of the evidence, resulting in charges of obstruction of justice. Trying to avoid this, he attempted to flee the country, only to be caught with an illegal passport and a pile of cash. While in jail for this offense, he was recorded offering money to intimidate witnesses and kill the judge.[20] In order to fight the new charges, he tried to feign psychological problems, but left a trail of evidence of his research into this defense, and how it might be done. He was charged with attempting to delay a federal trial by feigning incompetency,[21] but was convicted anyway.[22] According to the lawyers concerned,[19] the original notebooks were not needed for the trial. The patent filing date, which was not in dispute, would have sufficed.
Perhaps some CEOs get where they are by always fighting, not matter the odds.  It's a good strategy until it isn't.

Not sure if anyone is still following this (or interested, for that matter), but according to the following article (in french, the Tribune de Genève is a large news paper in Geneva), the furniture at the seat of the former company is going to be auctioned off in an attempt to recoup at least part of the losses, apparently that seat cost about 1 million Swiss Francs (about 1 M$)... one might question whether that was well-invested money for a start-up.

According to the article, the company is still not completely dead, at least on paper. So Jaussi still seems hopeful to re-start the company from its croation subsidy, but the former Sovjet military base on which the latter is, well, based, is now being set up - according to croatian media - to become a nuclear waste repository. Well then...

I'm still interested.  Please keep posting any additional info you find.

Weird little piece about SSS - a complaint letter to a broadcaster about unfairness - that reveals some of the DNA and phone record evidence against Pascal Jaussi:-

(You will need to run it through Google translate and have a very free mind for the translation output....)

Still not sure if this is actually legally resolved, does anyone know?
