Ion Cyriac says that Simona Halep should have demanded compensation of 100-200 million dollars

In an intervention for Gsp.ro, the businessman says that he is impressed by the amount that Simona is asking for Quantum Nutrition, Cyriac thinks that it is too little money.

“Let’s see what happens next with the lawsuit against the production company. What will Halep do and who will advise her from a legal point of view…Also, what is happening with her team, with the manufacturer of the product (Quantum Nutrition, from which Halep is seeking $10 million in damages). ).

He sued the manufacturer in the US, not in Romania, Chioflingen or Congo. It was necessary to give it for 100-200 million, and not for ten million. That is ten million?!

He should have asked them for more money, woe to me and me!” – Ion Țiriac, for the cited source.

In support of his assertions, Cyriac cited the example of Eugenie Bouchard.

A few years ago, a Canadian athlete sued the organizers of the US Open because she slipped on a wet locker room floor.

After two and a half years of litigation, Bouchard won the case, and according to Ion Cyriac, the winning amount would be about ten million dollars.

“Ten million was taken by the Canadian bitch (No. Eugenie Bouchard), who fell in the dressing room at the US Open. Stop playing now, do fashion. He fell down there, got hit a little bit, and the USAF gave him ten million to not sue them.” – Ion Cyriak.

The businessman also says that a good lawyer in the US costs somewhere between $1,200 and $1,500 an hour. “I mean, if he writes a letter, he took at least a thousand dollars from you,” concluded Ion Cyriac.
