He pointed out that none of the men had a clear connection to TSG, the security company which had been providing the Grand with security for seven months, and said they had no right to make demands for money on behalf of TSG.Modack's counsel, Dirk Uys, conceded that his client “furnished advice” as a consultant for TSG but said he was not an employee and that he derived no benefit from the deal.
