Including a press-release from Dmitrys attorneys'

Here's some quotes:

"In today's agreement, Dmitry will be required to testify for the government
and ElcomSoft expects him to testify for their case as well. The story
Dmitry has to tell is exactly the same regardless of which side calls him to
testify."

Dmitry, relieved and pleased about the outcome, is not opening up the Vodka
just yet. "Until I'm in Russia, it is too early to say that I'm happy. But
this agreement looks like (the) first significant change in my situation for
last five months. (My) First real chance to get home."

The case continues with one exception, it's unwitting hero, Dmitry Sklyarov,
is no longer detained in the U.S. and his thoughts are now on his family his
career and the upcoming holiday season in his homeland, at last. 


I believe the phrase HURRAH! springs to mind..:->

I haven't seen anyone else on the list mention this yet - there's a
story on SlashDot (actually on NY Times, but linked off SD) about the US
government offering to drop all charges against Sklyarov if he's willing
to testify against Elcomsoft as a whole.

I would give details of the story, but the membership requirement on NY
Times means that I haven't actually read it.

Andy.
