    A Geoexpater?

    There was something in the SCMP (Sunday) about a German guy detained over immigration problems (passport?), government not issuing one due to unpaid tax bill (?).

    I didn't get the whole story but... didn't this person post here?

    sounds familiar...was a while ago though. and if i remember, he wouldn't disclose where he came from. i think for some reason, others thought he was russian...

    Whilst waiting in Starbucks yesterday I caught a glimpse of the SCMP's City front page and saw the guy and his CSL story. Seems he got the publicity he was seeking.


    Note to self: Stop glancing at the SCMP over people's shoulders. You know you can't stand that paper. *facepalm*

    Now I've actually read the story I see that that was before the article was published.

    CSL's acting CEO, Han Kotterman, sent Sargent an e-mail on Thursday saying: "I am disappointed with the way the issues have been handled from our side so far and hence would like to see if there is an opportunity for us to connect."
