We are talking a man that just died 93 from a family that was almost extinct by the Holocost, and then proceeded to become the most important industrialist in the French defense industry.
From 1945 and outwards, we were at a arms race continually with the USSR. We served our country as best we could. Dassault did it spectacularly efficiently with and without the governments help .
Who cares if someone forgot their lunchbag full of cash in the past.

He got the job done.
Surviving the Holocaust doesn't give anyone a free ticket to commit illegal acts

And M Serge's "getting the job done" in his own inimitable way meant that other workers and manufacturers , both in France and elsewhere, who played by the rules were disadvantaged - and the idea that Dassault prospered without French Govt help actually made me laugh out loud........................
