Molly defends Andreas Georgiou, the former head of Greece's national statistics authority Elstat, who recalculated Greece's economic statistics in 2010. He has become the victim of repeated court investigations against him that claim he forced Greece to ask for help from the other EU countries. These claims are not grounded in facts, as his work has been repeatedly lauded for its accuracy, and are purely politically motivated in an attempt to make him a scapegoat.
