Meiya: another law firm, Minter Ellison, helps pull-off the sale by BTU

One would unquestioningly have to give a large (by their own account they have 280 partners and 1,000 legal staff), multinational, well-renowned law firm the benefit of the doubt that they know WHO their client is (who's paying their bills) and WHAT they are doing for it (what benefit the client receives in exchange). In other words, we should trust that Minter Ellison got their facts right. However, these facts don't "match" with other facts that are not subject to dispute.

The question then becomes, what are the "facts" regarding BTU's sale of Meiya Power Compay to Standard Chartered Bank?
