2079 Details
Most recently while not being owned by Spinrad Global JRJ’s privileges as
a founding member have been transferred to the megacorporation in 2079.
After the collapse of Fuchi was orchestrated by its then-CEO Richard
Villiers, much of the assets of Fuchi Americas division were sold off,
and what was left was gathered up by Villiers into what would become
Novatech. JRJ would become part of it, though the sole stockholder was
Villiers himself. Novatech became NeoNET following its IPO and a corporate
merger.
After the outbreak of CFD in Boston, the UCAS would rapidly present a case
to the Corporate Court with NeoNET as one of the listed defendants. The Court
would rule in favor of the UCAS, demanding NeoNET pay reparations and fund
relief efforts in Boston, as well as banning Villiers from any corporate
executive positions for 10 years.
The Corporate Court couldn’t force Villiers to relinquish JRJ, though they
could force him to give up control of the company, making him unable to
capitalize on its vote in the Court. Instead, Villiers has “leased” the
company’s guaranteed court seat to Spinrad Global, allowing it to climb to
AAA status and replace NeoNET among the Big Ten.
