Alycia Goody, James Commodore, Jonathan Golden - former Corporate Counsel for BTU and/or QGEN: background info and their roles in the BTU and/or QGEN "story"

Another work in progress [Note: postings WILL eventually be completed with hyper-links to appropriate references].

James Commodore

Based on publicly available information, James Commodore plays an absolutely critical role in support of some of BTU's (Wael Al-Mazeedi's) litigation against his former employees.

Mr. Commodore authored a very "interesting" affidavit (soon to be included in this blog) supporting Mr. Al-Mazeedi's - BTU's lawsuit against Mr. Betancourt.  Also, although probably not a big issue in itself, it is interesting that the Notary Public present when Mr. Commodore stated that his affidavit was "Sworn to under the pains and penalties of perjury this 14th day of January, 2009." was none other than Ms. Christina Stephens, Mr. Al-Mazeedi's ever-present administrative assistant.

Jonathan Golden

Also of interest (based on public info.), Jonathan Golden was a lawyer at WilmerHale that worked on BTU's (Wael Al-Mazeedi's) Meiya Power Company transactions and then left or was let go by WilmerHale.  Subsequently, he was hired and worked for BTU for 11 (eleven) months or so until he left or was let go.
