Next month, it will be a year since Judge Ruymbeke was charged by the french State Attorney with investigation of the complaint against Corbis, filed by Jean-Philippe Hugot on behalf of five former Sygma photographers, for fraudulent bankruptcy, the misuse of company property and breach of trust in the bankruptcy of Corbis-Sygma.
According to the complainants, the judge has not been idle, having met several times with Corbis-Sygma manager Stephan Biberfeld, the administrative receiver and the photographers. What will happen next? A meeting with Steve Davis, Tony Rojas, Franck Perier, the formers heads of Corbis-Sygma? Or Garry Shenk, the current CEO of Corbis? Or Bill Gates, the owner of Corbis? The judge has yet to respond to questions submitted to him on April 24.
