As is widely known, in 1975, the United States abandoned Cambodia's Lon Nol government and the Khmer Rouge took power. What is less known is that at the time then-freshman Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware supported the evacuation of Vietnam and Cambodia. On April 25, 1975, the United States exited Cambodia. Sirik Matak Sisowath, the former Cambodian prime minister who refused to leave and who was killed by the Khmer Rouge days later, famously remarked: "I have only committed the mistake of believing in you [the Americans]."
Toyota Stamps Out Bid To Unseal Ex-WilmerHale Temp s Case By By
Frank G. Runyeon Law360 (February 24, 2021, 6:53 PM EST) A Florida state judge on Monday declined to unseal allegations of corruption leveled against Toyota by an ex-WilmerHale temp who worked on an internal document review project related to the automaker s operations in Thailand.
Judge Curt Jacobus found that a motion filed by nonparty Luca Roveda, a self-described member of the press in Thailand, seeking to vacate the court s previous sealing order would need to be thrown out and refiled. According to the judge, Roveda s attorney Tino Gonzales was still technically counsel for former BigLaw attorney and WilmerHale temp Andrew Delaney, the John Doe plaintiff in the case.
