Yeah, they were planning ahead of the trip, obviously, to Tulum.
And they were discussing the, quote, importing of women in addition to the procurement of drugs for the trip.
And actively discussing cocaine, mushrooms, but also GHB, which is classically known as the date rape drug.
Again, central to the prosecution's case here.
And as part of that exchange, the brothers were going back and forth with their friends over which women they would invite down.
One of the texts from Oren Alexander read that he just wanted to make sure he got max returns on his investment for the trip.
responding to a message about which women they were going to fly in for the trip.
He said he wanted to ask, what's the lineup?
Because he needed to pick his winners.
And then he told his friend, just warn him, your boys are hungry.
One of their friends was implicated as part of the conspiracy, but the charges were dropped.
So at the moment, the prosecution's case is solely on the brothers.
We know the brothers have extensive civil litigation, both in New York and in Florida as well, that is ongoing.

Yeah, the defense's response to them has been...
Essentially, unsavoury boys will be boys' hijinks.
What they said during opening statements was quite telling.
They made no effort to represent either of the brothers as good or likeable people, even.
Tao's attorney, Deanna Paul, went as far to say that the jury weren't there to decide an arsehole contest.
If they were, it would be case closed, but that's not what they're here to do.
