Greenberg Traurig Successful in Establishing Jurisdiction for Crane Bank and its Shareholders in the Court of Appeal


A long-running lawsuit involving claims exceeding US$200 million, relating to a Ugandan bank, will be heard by the English courts following a victory for Crane Bank and its shareholders in the Court of Appeal.

LONDON, Aug. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — A long-running lawsuit involving claims exceeding US $200 million, relating to a Ugandan bank, will be heard by the English courts following a victory for Crane Bank and its shareholders in the Court of Appeal. (CA-2022-002042)

The latest chapter in this dispute turned on the ‘foreign act of state’ doctrine, which prevents the English courts from hearing matters concerning foreign government acts of state taking place in the territory of the foreign state. The ruling from the Court of Appeal found that Crane Bank and its shareholders’ claims are not barred by the foreign act of state doctrine. 

Crane Bank was one of Uganda’s largest commercial banks until 2016. The claim alleges that officials at the Bank of Uganda engaged in a corrupt scheme with the defendants to take control of Crane Bank and sell its assets for the benefit of the conspirators. Along with its shareholders, Crane Bank claims unlawful means conspiracy against the Development Finance Company of Uganda (DFCU), its executives, and four development finance institutions who it is claimed took part in a fraudulent scheme to purchase Crane Bank’s assets at a gross undervalue. 

The Court of Appeal found that there are serious issues to be tried in relation to the claimants’ reliance on (i) the Commercial Activity Exception, and (ii) the argument that all the executive acts in question engage the English public policy of combatting and not giving legal protection to bribery and corruption, thereby falling outside the foreign act of state doctrine (the Public Policy Exception).

The Greenberg Traurig team, led by Masoud Zabeti, a shareholder and Litigation chair for Europe at Greenberg Traurig, also comprised Of Counsel Katharine Bond, Senior Associate Miten Vaghela, Senior Associate Bethany Histed, Associate Thai Nguyen, and Trainee Solicitor Francesca Conroy. The team instructed Lord David Pannick KC of Blackstone Chambers and Hannah Brown KC, David Caplan, and Ben Lewy of One Essex Court.

IntelliGenesis Unleashes KrakenAI™; A new Generative AI Tool to Augment Cyber Operations


IntelliGenesis LLC’s IG Labs Division announced today the launch of their newest capability, KrakenAI™, a cutting-edge generative artificial intelligence (AI) large language model (LLM) solution specifically designed for the defensive and offensive cyberspace domain. It is a transformer-based model that incorporates advanced text generation techniques, distributed computing, and a custom scoring system to provide accurate and relevant responses, making it a revolutionary approach to augmenting cyber operators with Generative AI (GAI) capabilities.

COLUMBIA, Md., Aug. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — IntelliGenesis Unleashes KrakenAI™; A new Generative AI Tool to Augment Cyber Operations

IntelliGenesis LLC’s IG Labs Division announced today the launch of their newest capability, KrakenAI™, a cutting-edge generative artificial intelligence (AI) large language model (LLM) solution specifically designed for the defensive and offensive cyberspace domain. It is a transformer-based model that incorporates advanced text generation techniques, distributed computing, and a custom scoring system to provide accurate and relevant responses, making it a revolutionary approach to augmenting cyber operators with Generative AI (GAI) capabilities.

KrakenAI™ aligns with IntelliGenesis’ mission-focused core values as well as the Department of Defense (DoD) roadmap to rapidly implement and adopt AI applications across warfighter cyber missions. In addition, IG Labs GAI capability directly supports the recent Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) Task Force Lima initiative to assess, synchronize, and employ AI capabilities across DoD. KrakenAI™ leads the way to help redefine how industry and government deploy GAI and LLM cutting edge technologies to address DoD’s critical warfighter needs.

Since 2021, IG Labs has expanded its collaboration with NVIDIA, enabling IG Labs developers and AI engineers to bolster the development and deployment of its capabilities into commercial and government customers, businesses, and missions. Today, the IntelliGenesis and NVIDIA partnership is targeting a range of deployments for KrakenAI™, from small-scale edge devices to enterprise Data Center solutions, both on-prem and cloud based. Across the spectrum of this scale, the IG team ensures each KrakenAI™ deployment is optimized for its designated mission need, whether it is defensive or offensive cyber operations.

IntelliGenesis sets itself apart from other competitors in the GAI space by focusing on data. IG Labs data scientists are utilizing smart data pipelines to clean, tag, label, and prepare raw data to improve the quality and knowledge of KrakenAI™. KrakenAI™ can then help augment defensive and offensive cyber operations by providing accurate and refined query responses. IntelliGenesis’ unique GAI approach, coupled with its expansive Cyber and AI expertise, will provide a proactive approach to augmenting cyber operations.

Key Features:

  1. Distributed Computing: By harnessing the power of distributed computing, KrakenAI™ utilizes multiple Graphical Processing Units (GPU) for lightning-fast model predictions. This significantly enhances the speed and efficiency of the application, ensuring rapid responses to user queries.
  2. Session Management: Introducing an innovative session management system, KrakenAI™ offers heightened security and flexibility. With the ability to store vast amounts of data for each user experience, KrakenAI™ provides seamless and personalized interaction.
  3. Data Persistence and Caching: KrakenAI™ incorporates data persistence and caching which stores previously generated responses to enhance application speed and pave the way for user-generated question mining.
  4. Advanced Text Generation Techniques: KrakenAI™ boasts state-of-the-art text generation techniques. Through careful manipulation of mathematical responses, KrakenAI™ achieves increased diversity and randomness, resulting in better and more relevant results over time.

KrakenAI™ is not just based on general data. It is trained on a diverse mix of datasets including:

  • Cognitive Augmentation for Cybersecurity Analysts: KrakenAI™ serves as an extended brain to cybersecurity analysts. Rather than acting as a separate tool that independently identifies threats, it complements and boosts the analytical capabilities of the analysts.
    • Providing real-time insights, KrakenAI™ enables analysts to focus on strategic decision-making rather than manual data crunching.
    • KrakenAI™ can be ‘micronized’ to fit into smaller technology stacks. This makes it adaptable and flexible.
    • It can function efficiently in constrained environments.

IntelliGenesis LLC is a Columbia, Maryland-based Veteran- and Woman-owned small business, primarily known for its analytics development, AI/Machine Learning (ML), and training services in support of DoD and Intelligence Community customers since 2007.

IG Labs opened for innovation in October 2021 and invested internally into expanding its Cyber AI/ML services and to develop cutting-edge, AI-based capabilities for customers. A benefit of the Cyber AI/ML Center of Excellence has been guiding partners through the art of the possible with AI, ML, and Deep Learning (DL) to take on opportunities like developing products and delivering an AI-enabled cybersecurity platform that enables users with no prior experience to operate defensively in adversarial environments.

For over 16 years, IntelliGenesis has designed, developed, and implemented AI services in the DoD and across the Intelligence Community to include neural networks, machine learning, natural language processing, hidden Markov models, structured and unstructured models, clustering, and custom algorithms. This mission-focused core is what sets IntelliGenesis apart from its competitors. As a small, agile company that is an expert in Data Science, Cyber, and AI, IntelliGenesis is always looking to partner with Government and industry to strengthen national security cyberspace capabilities.

IntelliGenesis partnered with Aerospace Village to present KrakenAI™ at DEFCON 31 in Las Vegas and will also be at Armed Forces Communications & Electronic Association (AFCEA) TechNet Augusta, instructing an NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute class, Fundamentals of Accelerated Data Science, as well as on hand to demonstrate other capabilities like KrakenAI™.

Contact IntelliGenesis today to explore how KrakenAI™ can revolutionize your cyberspace operations with state-of-the-art AI capabilities! The IG Labs Division Cyber AI/ML Center of Excellence welcomes visitors, partners and those interested in Cyber and AI to get in touch at [email protected].
