This article is heavy and direct to the point, it doesn't even go into the leaks route because that is hard to prove and distraction, it goes direct to the dirty, that is the fact that Wells and Exponent manipulated the data to get the results and direction they wanted.
I keep thinking that if this indeed goes to court and it's proven to be a fraud, what's going to happen to Wells? Will he be able to keep practicing? Although he was hired to do a private job for a private company and he was more in the role of a consultant than a Lawyer, his credibility goes down the toilet. If they bring back the Miami investigation and Jonathan Martin backs up all that **** that that o-line coach threw in the fan in a radio show a month or so ago that Wells omitted from his report, then there is strong evidence that Wells is a professional lackey.
I don't know how the law applies in America but I believe judges tend to work on sports litigation with different eyes like it's a world apart from the real world, and because of that impose light penalties and more revoking things than anything, because the reality is that this is as fraudulent as it gets and in a litigation between "real world" companies with similar situation people would face jail time for cooking data like this. Sorry if I'm a little off the track here.
No you are spot on in my opinion. Wells is a fraud as it has now been proven. That report could have been one page. We found nothing. They could have then presented that and saved 5 million. I would also look I to that, then billable hours. For 5 million I better have direct evidence, not contrived. I could have done that report for 5k. Wells looks bad, Goodell looks bad and the ALL of the owners look horrendous as well for standing idly by or capitulating.
