FFW were "getting very close to the process and advising my son for his new venture and FFW undertaking intense workload and exchanging information with the various transacting parties and their advisers, FFW became privileged to a lot of private and confidential information directly related to my son and it is for this effect that I am of the strong opinion that FFW violated its duties and abused its powers."
