:

: registered affiliate appear to have ceased operations soon after
: receiving payment from Olympus.
So is the emerging theory that the payments were simply a money laundering
scheme wherein most of the money found its way back to Olympus executives or
board members, all under the cover of a pending aquisition to make the
payments seem plausible?
