And I had been looking at it even before David brought it up. And so he said that Ron had offered him shares at, do I remember? He was so specific about the money. I think $2 a share. And he was being gifted many, many shares at this low price.

And because he loved me and wanted to help me, would I be interested in taking some of these shares that he was getting at the price he was getting them for? And he would offer me the same gift that Ron was offering him. And then he would take care of selling them. Usually with an IPO, there's a lockout that you can't sell until a certain date.

And that when that time passed, his guy at Goldman Sachs, who was going to buy us out for 26 and a quarter, that was the number he used, which he was, as I said, he was always very specific about his numbers. And it seemed like an interesting deal. And if this was the case, then I thought, why not do it?

There was a lot of talk from David about not telling anyone else. It was just for me. He didn't really want anyone else to know about it. And so I didn't think to. Did I think maybe there was some sort of nefarious aspect? I don't know. Maybe. But I never believed he would hurt me. At this point, I really believed that he would do whatever he was doing to benefit me. He'd always acted that way.

And he said, Ron's opened up some more shares. Do you want to get further in? And I did. And I gave him a second check.

I thought he would do this for me and take care of me. He talked about it so often that he wanted to be able to pay my rent for me. He somehow wanted to take care of me. You know, all my daddy issues start coming up. But like, why do you think he wanted to do that? Because I think he touched a nerve and saw it, that that's how to get me to open my wallet. I think that was his gift.
