The dispute reached its culmination when Kutayba’s son Omar, a Harvard MBA graduate, took over the reigns of the family holding company, which, among other things, sells General Motors vehicles. While a US judge put the case on hold, pending arbitration in Kuwait, a UK judge found Kutayba and his son liable for hacking into Bassam Alghanim’s email. Either way, Bassam has reportedly withdrawn from the family holding company.
