Right.

The federal government's powers are...

vast in comparison to a self-commissioning of all my companies needing to tell me, their boss, what I have done wrong.

This is Terry Rozier, who was the player the Miami Heat acquired while it turns out, surprise, he was under federal investigation leading to Kash Patel.

FBI director at a presser behind a dais announcing as much, making the NBA and Wachtell extraordinarily concerned.

Embarrassed, too.

Anyway, the real meat of the quote here, in my view, it does concern Joe Sandberg refusing to, quote, share any meaningful information with Ballmer's legal team.

And this is dismaying, David, because the letter continues to point out that Joe Sandberg has decided to cooperate with somebody else.

And so I think it's safe to say there's a bit of a game within a game being played here, Lou.

But as the guy who started the DOJ investigation into Joe Sandberg, Aspiration's co-founder, when you first read that, what was your reaction?

Well, let's now read the letter that Steve Ballmer's letter is referring to when he says that Joe Sandberg has provided information to the NBA in return for a sentencing letter.

that the league submitted on his behalf.

Because you're right, if the judge is not scrolling NBA Reddit, he might not appreciate that, oh, wait a minute, the opposite of a victim impact statement has been filed by Wachtell Lipton, by David, our old friend.

David Anders.

The lead investigator on all of these NBA scandals we've been referencing.

I don't throw the word friend around like he does.

Interlocutor in an off-the-record meeting that we were able to say happened via mutual agreement with David Anders.

That we made very much on the record.

I think we threaded the needle of ethics there.

This statement, Lou, right?
