You can plug it in and it works, right?

They said well it didn't work and I said well it did and they said well we beg to differ So we want to charge you with that.

Anyway, I said absolutely not I said, you know, we're ending this now and

So my lawyers said to me at the end, I took advice from another lawyer in the UK.

And he said, Chris, you're not American.

This crime that they're trying to charge you with, it's only applicable under the law to US citizens and US persons.

You are neither one of those.

You have never lived in the US.

You aren't a US person.

You don't have a green card.

You definitely don't have a US passport.

Just forget it.

So I was like, OK, still didn't feel very good about it.

January 2022, I went from Dubai to Saudi Arabia, because Saudi Arabia was holding a conference on technology.

Again, another conference, a man of many conferences.

And so I thought, well, that's interesting.

It's only an hour flight from Dubai to Riyadh.

I'll jump on the plane and I'll go and see what this is all about.

Went there.

Pretty mundane conference.
