Like hundreds of firms taking advantage of Switzerland's secretive banking and tax laws, Eler was represented in Geneva by a local lawyer, who has since cut her ties with the company. Eler is, in fact, run from Paris by Joe Lousky, a businessman specializing in import-export arrangements. Says Lousky of the Micralign deal: "This is a highly complicated affair.
