Primary Evidence

"To carry out this strategy, at the very moment when François Pinault came to trample his garden, he created Europ@ web, a holding company, also of Dutch law, responsible for overseeing most of the group's European internet activities, which he entrusted to Chahram Becharat, thirty-two years old, a precision intellectual mechanic trained at Polytechnique and Harvard, recruited a little earlier. He surrounded himself with about fifty young wolves who left their consulting firms and investment banks without looking back, trading their comfortable salaries for promises of capital gains. With a fund of 500 million euros (3.28 billion francs), Europ@ web will acquire about fifty "dotcoms". The methods are those that financial power allows in the face of excited and naive kids."
