You know Kian, at some time you guys need to start calling CAM out for the BS it tries to sell.

You can start by asking asking the name of the team members which represented MSI on a “Chinese wall basis”.

I think everyone would agree that for a firm to actually work on a Chinese wall basis there must truly be two separate teams for two separate clients.
