SThree Q1 Results

[Andy Hallett]

Thought these might be of interest to the gentle folk of the professional forums. The results echo what I have been feeling over the last year, namely a steady improvement in the contracting market. Good news for us all.

"Defendant SThree collaborated and conspired with the Palladyne defendants to utilize fraudulent inducement, mail fraud, wire fraud and other deceptive practices to lure the plaintiff to employment in what turned out to be no more than a kickback, bribe and money laundering scheme designed to conceal funds diverted by the Ghaddafi family, defendant Abudher's extended family, and other prominent officials of the since-deposed Libyan regime." ...
