Ypres cafe owner Rudi Declercq (61) lost 15,000 euros – hard-earned tips – to Lernout and Hauspie, but has long since stopped expecting to see another cent. He does not feel resentment towards Jo Lernout. Pity yes. “I have compassion for him, yes. His wife now works in one of my businesses as a cleaning lady. If you have 20 million in a drawer, you don’t do that to your wife, do you.”
