Following the ownership change, Hollywood producer Robert Simonds joined NSO’s board and attempted to acquire the company. He resigned five months later, after the deal fell through.
Interestingly, when asked about the deal by TechCrunch, an NSO spokesperson said the following:
“This investment does not mean that the company is moving out of Israeli regulatory or operational control. (…) The company’s headquarters and core operations remain in Israel. It continues to be fully supervised and regulated by the relevant Israeli authorities, including the Ministry of Defense and the Israeli regulatory framework.”
He later requested that the comments be withdrawn, arguing they were made off the record, though TechCrunch stated that no such understanding had been established.
The headline leads with the producer but the story doesn’t give any details about him. Produced a lot of big stuff including most of Adam Sandler’s hits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Simonds
Adam Sandler: ‘Israel Is Getting a ‘F–K You’ From Roger Waters’
Adam Sandler has sided with Howard Stern in his war of words against former Pink Floyd singer-songwriter Roger Waters. “I’m very pro-Israel,” the comedian told Stern earlier this week, via Jewish Journal. “When you go off on Roger Waters, I fucking love that you do that. I’m disgusted that they single out Israel. All those nice Israeli people are getting a ‘fuck you’ from Roger Waters. … I’m not a crazy religious, but I’m proud of being a Jew, and that’s what I am.”
He’s a comedian, don’t take him seriously.
A mediocre one
