In final arguments, Reiser's attorney, Alex Ornel-les called Keiser "a bug man who knows very little about business" and said he "was left holding a very large empty sack."

Alo asked why papers publish complaints "without investigating them first. It hurts our tourist business." ARAKI ASKED, "Why always on the bad things?"
