Do you think it's possible the Blinco's cook has lawyered up? As a witness for the defense he could greatly discredit Gottlieb's character. That would be must-see-TV.
It could benefit the cook to file his own suit against the DPD after he testifies, if indeed he does, in the LAX case. Look what they did to the cabbie.
Possible, I guess. But, the cook has gone totally silent.
Personally, I don't think he wants anything more to do with the case. Why invite trouble? I think this is all out of his league.
