And then the Greek government.

I happen to be Greek American.

My grandparents all came from the island of Rhodes.

As soon as I was arrested, like within a day, the Greek ambassador called me and he said, what can we do to be helpful?

And I said, you can give me citizenship.

And man, like that, I got Greek citizenship.

And so as soon as I got out of prison, the Greek government hired me to help them write a new whistleblower protection law.

And then they passed it quickly.

The parliament passed it into law and then the European Union adopted it.

So I went to Brussels and I testified there and then they repackaged it.

Now it's the law of the land and all of the European Union.

And then people in the States began taking me more seriously.

I started doing some paid speaking gigs.

I got hired as an adjunct professor at a couple of different universities.

And then, you know, after a while,

You can make an OK living.

I'm still going to have to work until the day I die because I have literally nothing saved.

It all went to the attorneys and, you know, hope for the best.

I will say that I was a third generation Democrat.

I left the Democratic Party ages ago and.
