I might add that the Cayman Islands are full of trust companies with provisions which forbid the disclosure of data to a client who is coerced. A law on the books refuses to recognize "consent" orders made under judicial compulsion. This would give the appearance of total unavailability of evidence and suggest the futility of contempt charges. Yet courts have still, and with no small measure of success, imposed sanctions on witnesses so protected.
It is one thing to believe that you might be able to change a human's mind by threatening another human via jail. (It reminds me of many bad movies.) It is quite a different level of hubris to think that a similar action could overcome mathematical probability. However, I am unable to predict the actions of anyone who believes that the Supreme Court is the top law-giver of the Universe. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bill Frantz | The CDA means | Periwinkle -- Computer Consulting (408)356-8506 | lost jobs and | 16345 Englewood Ave. frantz@netcom.com | dead teenagers | Los Gatos, CA 95032, USA
