Yeah. So the state is more specific because they name, you know, these like incidents with with alleged victims, you know, using their initials. It's interesting because Tal is not facing any state charges. So he is currently in federal custody in Miami. I believe that, you know, eventually the federal case will take over.

Yeah, and I think too, like what was interesting, and I don't know that we necessarily expected this, was when the story, when our first story came out about the two lawsuits in June, our Instagram comments blew up. I don't know if you've seen that, Billy, but, and they've continued to.

And it's been a place where people are talking about what they, you know, what they knew, what they'd heard, other, you know, alleged survivors were posting. So it was just like, I think that, they allegedly operated in a way that in business and personally where it was very high pressure and people, in a way people are living paycheck to paycheck and they're living commission to commission.

So Oren is in real estate. Alon is in his family's private security business.
