Symbion levels other accusations against Wilson, portraying him as an egomaniac who ceased working for the company because of a dispute over an equity stake.
The company accused Wilson of abusing the company’s policy for booking air travel and accommodations. He also allegedly berated Symbion employees at the company’s Washington D.C. office. And in another alleged unprofessional act, Wilson had lunch in the company’s conference room one day with three female staffers and consumed an entire bottle of wine.
The company also faults Wilson for introducing Hinks to Robert Cabelly, a shady American diplomat with experience in Africa. Wilson convinced Hinks to hire Cabelly in June 2009 for $15,000 per month in order to drum up business in Angola. But Symbion claims that Wilson purposely avoided telling the company that Cabelly was under indictment for violating U.S. sanctions against Sudan. Cabelly was formally indicted in Oct. 2009.
Symbion claims that Wilson’s relationship with the company went south after he began asking for an equity stake. The diplomat initially asked for a 5 percent share, but soon began seeking control of one-fifth of the company. Hinks rebuffed the request, which rankled Wilson. Through email, Wilson allegedly told Hinks that he planned to quit working for Symbion. And by April 2013, Symbion asserts that Wilson had ceased all work on behalf of Symbion. During a meeting in Washington D.C. later that month, Hinks claimed that Wilson told him “you do not want to get into a fight with me,” and that “I can destroy Symbion.”
Wilson is a nasty piece of work.
