  Since when? Here’s how we can picture it going down.

  French MPs: Capgemini, explain your contract with ICE.

  Capgemini: Easy, money. Fuck USA & suck my cock until you make that illegal.

  The end.

    Of course money is the motivation, but it is not what Lescure is pushing for. Capgemini have already moved beyond the “money” explanation, by stating that they didn’t know and that CSG has a different board etc etc which isn’t seen as acceptable.

    How Capgemini explains this will have consequences for the company, and although it could happen, legal action isn’t the only consequence. For instance the French state is a big client of the company and could shift business to other companies, it could also escalate politically, it could cause commercial fallout etc etc.
