Thank you very much. We're happy to be back, and it's coming back.
It's a struggle. The answer is yes. Depends on the resources that we get in the coming months and years. But the staff is motivated. The management is in place. The board's together. The administrative staff, the security engineers are putting the place back in operation. So it's coming back to life. We're going to make it.
As a matter of law, yes. The judge ruled that the firing of the board was illegal, that the firing—the appointment of a new president was illegal, and that everything they did was illegal. So, technically, nobody was ever fired. There's a real-world problem of the money that we thought we had and that we expected to have for the rest of the year. And so there's some—
there's some tough reconstruction issues that the management has to deal with. But yes, the court ruling was solid. It ruled illegal everything that was done to the Institute. And so everybody is about getting back to work. And there was a town hall meeting a week and a half ago, and 250 of the 300 or so staff members were on that and looking for ways to get back to work.
They're motivated, they're driven, they're professionals, and they want to go back to work.
Hope so. Thank you.
So the building has been seized by force by police officers with guns, acting under the authority of a resolution that we're going to have a court declare to be invalid.
