The reception of Independent News and Media offices on Talbot Street, Dublin 1
Mark Paul, in The Irish Times, reports:
“Independent News and Media (INM) has recruited Deloitte for yet another investigation into an alleged major data breach at the newspaper publisher.
“It has also threatened outside IT experts, recruited under the supervision of former chairman Leslie Buckley, that it will sue them unless they co-operate, according to court papers.
“…Mr Buckley is refusing to meet the Deloitte investigators. In letters to INM’s legal advisers McCann Fitzgerald, Mr Buckley’s lawyers cite his anger at a letter sent by INM to the so-called INM 19, who were among those whose data was searched.
“That letter, his lawyers say, appears to blame Mr Buckley for “unauthorised” access to INM’s data.”
INM threatens to sue experts who ran data ‘interrogation’ (Mark Paul, The Irish Times)
Yesterday: There Were Discussions With Dee Forbes About ‘Getting Stephen A Job At RTE’
Previously: Why Did You Pay To Have These People Hacked?
And is anybody surprised?
He might have sum’ting alright
He was the Chair, ok, he agrees the Agenda with the Secretary, signs stuff, gets a casting vote in the event of a tie, and a few extra bob
but is a Director 1st, the same as all the others,
so one way or another
the whole board at the time are just as responsible,
unless he was acting without their knowledge
or consent
or changing minutes
all that sorta stuff
in which case, it was all done outside his function as a Director of this particular company
now thats where its going to get sexy
expect a few very nervous employees and former employees to be keeping a very close eye on Broadsheet and other gaffs
It’s all part of the ‘robust defense’ Les vowed when these allegations surfaced,a cunning ploy perhaps:)
The reputational damage is incalculable how much longer can Les remain Chairman of CTI Global an IT cloud recovery service,with an illustrious list of high profile clients, would you hire them with Les as Chairman in the midst of a criminal investigation,certainly won’t be getting much work in NY or stateside.

Not to mention the boards of Digital and SiteServ must be incredibly uncomfortable with Les still in situ amidst all these allegations regarding fiduciary duties and possible criminal charges.
The tipping point here is when they trow him in front the next fast moving bus-until then……..
maybe
I reckon the tipping point is when others break rank and cooperate with Deloitte’s and the ODCE
or when rumours start in the usual way
or when someone is seeking protection against creditors and or a Bankruptcy Petition ……..
a little off topic-ok ok a lot-while researching Liberty Latin America-Digi’s biggest competitor,came across a great review/analysis-its towards the end of this.
