the Extra Leaf has been trying to get a hold of Anh Lê on the phone and email. She has not returned. Also have Extra Magazine contacted Help PR, which so far has the answer on her behalf, but the tv chef apparently wants not to comment. Instead, there are now a reply in writing from Per Ulrik Andersen through the agency, where he announces that he is not inside of the operation, but he writes:

'When I was introduced to LêLê shortly before the bankruptcy, was the company's big problem, that they had a tax liability. It was also the reason why management in the old Lêlê filed a private petition.'

'I have given a total price of 5.5 million dollars for the entire company, so it could survive, and the employees' jobs are secured. The transfer was accepted by the bankruptcy estate, and since Anh and I only fought on to save the LêLê.'
