Going to court in a foreign country with a foreign language is already a challenge. But what if your opponent threatens to harm you, keep you busy in court until you’d run out of money and use their contacts in the government to silence your case?

I'm Bernhard and this is my story of standing up against The Green Lion, after working 5 years in it's top level management. I have kept a detailed journal, recording every message, call and meeting between December 2019 and August 2022. New chapters will be released bi-weekly.
