The great GM crop scandal.

[JamesM]

But I wonder if they really hate me because I wrote that letter to the British government in 2003, at the height of the GM controversy. It didn't say anything different to what I've said here.

[JamesM]

Slippery fingered me seem to have lost a key disk containing all 300 megabytes of records from 'My life with the GM crop cult' somewhere.

Ooppsss... ah well guess the truth really is out there now . Got one sent back from BBSRC... one spare then for the Daily Mail then.

[JamesM]

Hey guys just counted up the major management transgressions, 38 in total a good number of which can be proved.

Course I'd have to release it as a questionaire that way it would be legally unactionable

[Richard]

What are you jabbering on about?

[Richard]

So if I'm reading this correctly:

1) You did some confidential work relating to GM for a company or a university.

2) You didn't like the way they ran things.

3) You are now blackmailing them to the tune of £25 million.

Or something...

[JamesM]

No I did some work then they viciously hatchet jobbed me and I'm tired of carrying the cost. I'd prefer to make an example of them.

[Richard]

Contact a lawyer?

Somehow I can't see blackmailing them working, if you try that then they're more likely to be the ones contacting the lawyer.

[JamesM]

Lawyer that'd be laugh the lawyers would just take all the money and the University's and Biotech companies international reputations would go up in a pile of smoke when I won the case. So thats not a good plan.

Them contacting lawyers would be very stupid of them as I haven't demanded any money from the either institution.

A better option would be one of the following.

1) Sell it to the papers downside U/BTC international reputations go up in smoke. Counter productive as thats something I've been protecting them from for the last six years. Though they are so stupid they didn't realise that.

2) Slap the files on a keydisk and auction copies of on Ebay. Same downside but time efficient enough for me not to care about the U/BTC reputations, but'd need to time it right when are they coming back?

3) Sell it to Monsanto, then Monsanto can invalidate all Biotech companies patents with the following conversation BTC 'We know your staff were involved in the alleged attempted stress induced murder of a scientist so we'll do what we want with your entire patent portfolio'. Very knowledge economy kinda solution that one.

4) Course I could sell my Biotech copyright/scandal to Monsanto keep a copy and sell the decryption copyright to Cambridge.

There are other options I'm looking at but as they are so incompetent I simply refuse to work with them. Cash or reputations easy choice then I can pay back the people that I owe money to and I can retire for the rest of my life.

Gotta agree a pretty sound plan really.

[JamesM]

Lets not forget Ienjoyed my time with Durham University and Syngenta PLC but was just wondering is it appropriate to:

1 of 24 : To use influence over viva examiners to attempt to promote detrimental personal opinions of junior researchers characters and extract commercially orientated research information relating to partner companies research pipelines.

1 of 14 : When informed of a competing research project situation by the junior researcher, data transfer requests, IP protection is engaged in and after multiple requests for IP training provide a response more professional than ‘What do you want to know?’.

Hey this letting it out theory works, hope this won't cause any problems

[JamesM]

2 of 14.

Is it appropriate having been made aware of supply delays from the industrial collaborator to inform the junior researcher that reimbursement for the period waiting for delivery is not possible due to corporate policy.

Can it then be interpreted as an admission of guilt to subsequently advertise a position in a weekly scientific journal for someone to manage delivery of those supplies.

2 of 24

For senior personnel to repeatedly request data transfers be made by junior researchers to other researchers and directly competing industrial projects when under a C.A.S.E. industrial contract agreement. To then refer to junior researchers as 'bastards' when they decline.

Yeah that feels better, maybe I should release the other 32 management advisory guidelines? After all I've still got the 25 page record detailing everything that went on, so I can use that as life insurance.
