Arthur Riel, who was in charge of archiving e-mails at Morgan Stanley, was let go by the company earlier this month. Probably in retaliation, he has filed an affidavit with the court that heard the Perelman - Morgan Stanley case. Morgan Stanley wants the affidavit sealed, claiming attorney/client privilege.
The judge overseeing the case has previously questioned the veracity of Mr. Riel's certification that all e-mails had been turned over to the court. Now, Riel's lawyer says he thought he was responsible for reporting only on the existing archive, not on tapes being entered into it.
If the affidavit is accepted by the court it may have a large effect on the criminal contempt application filed by Perelman.
