If you are finding the Pelican litigation impenetrable, all I can say is, so am I.
But in my efforts to figure it out, I came across an interesting detail. It seems Brent Hatch's law firm, which represents SCO, also represents Marc Sessions Jenson, a business partner in at least one deal with Mark Robbins, the plaintiff in Pelican. Jenson and Robbins are co-defendants in a litigation currently before Judge Ted Stewart, the judge now assigned to SCO v. Novell, a case titled Hansen, et al v. Bk One UT NA, et al. I know. Utah is a small world indeed.
Might that Hatch-Jenson connection to Mark Robbins be at least part of why Darl McBride was let go, I can't help but ask? How could Hatch represent SCO, with McBride at the helm, and also represent Jenson, whose business associate, Mark Robbins, is suing McBride in New York State in the Pelican mess? I don't know if they are still associates, but it's awkward, no?
Wait. There's more.
