Are Haas embarrassed about Rich Energy?

Studied maths at St Andrews (not sure when, he claims to have known William and Kate but I don't think the dates would match up as he's older than them), amateur boxer, ran an IT company, was a boxing promoter/boxer's agent, briefly had a fashion brand I believe, various other vague and nebulous businesses mostly based in the Isle of Man, cosy with David Sullivan, picked up Rich Energy from a Czech startup.
Consensus seems to be he's blagging it or shifting other people's money about.
All allegedly, of course.
Top stalking, thanks!!!Consensus seems to be he's blagging it or shifting other people's money about.

Lastly, the court order - how does this affect Storey directly? Im guessing he can dissolve RE and start something else? Does this court order not implicate him directly at all?
He's fine, he's not in trouble and I would imagine he has avoided making any personal financial guarantees to creditors if the company (RE) does have to be wound up.The court order just restricts them from using that logo - and other orders have been stamped since requiring RE to turn over various details to Whyte.
Whyte will have to decide whether to place a large financial claim once they have seen the figures, which could back-fire as that could be the thing that shuts down the company and they will end up with nothing. Or they could agree to let RE sell the cans already produced (however many that may be...) for a high portion of the proceeds going to them, and once the last can with their logo is sold, RE will need to bring in a new logo.
There are endless ways it could play out - but one way or another Whyte will seek the safest way to get as much money from RE as possible, without being so aggressive that the company folds.
Storey came up with a scheme, it didn't go smoothly this time. I'm sure he hasn't put all his personal wealth in to though and will no doubt be back with another scheme if he can't pick up the pieces of this one.

'William Storey (DNG)
Universally known as Bomber. Will is most famous for not graduating and for being the greatest storyteller since Verbal Kint. His time at University spanned from 1997 right through to 2003, but despite protestations to the contrary he never got further than second year maths modules.
A talented footballer, Will often troubled Bryan 'Bouff' Hawkins in the race for top scorer. His skill, technique and large mouth were never suited to the fields of Fife, where he was often singled out for special treatment. On one occasion, a Pittenweem player raced into the changing rooms with a metal peg intent on attacking him.
Will was distinctly un-PC in his opinions and would often be heard pontificating loudly about his distaste for the Royals and the members of the Kate Kennedy Club. Since leaving St. Andrews, he has allegedly worked as a game-keeper in Africa; an importer of Ivory and a salesman for Toshiba. He also plays for Hampton and Richmond reserve team (allegedly).'

But, at the same time, what relevance does it have on the copyright case to see how much Rich Energy have given Haas? Can someone explain?

So actually it's starting to become increasingly uncomfortable for Haas then. I can't see how disclosing how much a title sponsor gives the team would be good for when they go to look for new sponsors, or how negotiations with any potential sponsors at the moment.

I'm guessing it has to do with determining the assets and the scope of damages. The existence of a few dozen physical cans of the stuff is neither here or there compared to the use of Whyte's logo on an F1 car for a season. But, at the same time, what relevance does it have on the copyright case to see how much Rich Energy have given Haas? Can someone explain?
I'd love the outcome to be RE handing over the Haas sponsorship to Whyte for the rest of the season

If RE think it's worth X million to get their brand and "logo" in front of a world wide audience then it's going to make it uncomfortable for them to argue that the damages to Whyte shouldn't be substantial in order to reverse that.

Simplest solution for Whyte is to Licence the logo to Rich Energy,
They are in different market places, selling different things, and they could make a tidy contribution by taking a cut on each can!
oh... hang on.... no sales..... Upfront couple of million and then a cut on each can!
Do you mean real cans, or made up ones? 'cos if they tag it to made up ones, they'll have more money than Ferrari to play with......They are in different market places, selling different things, and they could make a tidy contribution by taking a cut on each can!

Absolutely no shame, no decency, complete f

Because it turns out Rich Energy are actually embarassed by Haas, I was going to ask for this thread to be closed, and pick up on more accurately titled:
