Soren, who Chloe mentioned, delivered her story to American Express's management and board of directors and all their shareholders at their shareholder meeting.
And so, you know, we're going to continue to drip this message and hold these companies accountable.
This is an 80-20 issue, if not even more split than that.
And so there's really no benefit to the companies and realizing that, look, the 80-20 split
in the American public's views, is essentially the same split amongst their shareholders.
You can basically say that about 80% of our shareholders are vehemently opposed to providing these kinds of drugs and interventions to minors.
And so the companies are exposed in a way that is really problematic.
And just doing the right thing for their shareholders would mean โ
pulling away from the HRC and stopping trying to appease these activists by putting things into their health plans that aren't good for their employees, their employees' kids, or the value of the company.
Yeah, there's six wire fraud charges, four related to false statements to federally charted banks.
and then one charge related to conspiracy to conceal money laundering.
And so they all basically revolve around what you were talking about, which is the allegation that the SPLC is essentially asking people to fund their fight against hate groups while they're actually taking some of that money and giving it to the hate groups so they can do more hate.
They're fomenting the very activities they're asking their donors to fight against is what the indictment ultimately is about.
Well, I think the clearest thing that relates to that in the indictment revolves around the 2017, everybody will remember, the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.
And apparently SPLC was paying one of the members of the online leadership group that put that event on.
Apparently, that person was even acting at the behest of and direction of SPLC related to posts online and planning the event and even facilitating the transportation of some people to that event.
So, I mean, that's the clearest thing in the indictment.
I think the DOJ has a lot more to prove there.
And, you know, this is just the beginning of this.
This is an indictment by a federal grand jury.
