So you can imagine knocking on the door. They said, you know, they told me later, if you hadn't opened it, they'd knock twice. They had a battering ram with them. No kidding that they would have used the battering ram to punch through the door. And then you can file a claim later for damages. Did you say your son answered the door? Son answered the door because it was upstairs.

I just said, Zachary, go answer the door. He's got the presence of mind. And you knew, you didn't say. Oh, I knew, I knew. But you didn't tell him. I hadn't told anybody. Man, I kept this a secret from my own family.

No, of course not. How old was he? He was, okay, 95. He would have been 12. Middle school. So normally my spouse would take him to the middle school, right, in the local town, and then I would pick him up, right, after school. So, yeah, a bunch of agents come in. They start sweeping the house. I had a choice. They read me my Miranda rights. I didn't have to cooperate, obviously.

I could have said, you know, you're going to have to deal with my attorney. I didn't have an attorney at that time, right? At that moment, I didn't have an attorney. So I said, this is one final time to blow the whistle. I named president, the vice president, senior people, including Hayden about what had gone down over the last six plus years. No, we're not here for that.

We understand you violated, you know, certain laws. And so we're here to collect evidence. And we can interview you or you don't have to, I didn't have to be interviewed. Obviously I had Miranda rights. I couldn't have remained silent. I said, no, I'm gonna, I'll, it was an interviews interrogation. That was one of three, by the way, they took notes. They, I knew anything I said would be right.

Of course used against me. It was, um, That was an interesting experience all by itself. I remember at one point there was an anecdote where one of the techs is coming up from a basement. I was really into computers, a lot of retro stuff going way back into the 70s. This was a highly modified, my first computer that I owned was an Atari 800 home computer. That's where I learned everything.

That's where I learned computing, programming, networking, dial-up, all that. Right. And it was a highly modified, basically it was a closed circuit version, modified in box. I looked down at him and said, you know, the last time they modified that operating system, it was back in the late 70s. You really think you need that?

And he stopped at the top of the stairs going into the basement in my office. And he looked down and looked up at me and said, nah, we don't need it. He went back and put it back on the shelf. But they took a bunch of Amiga stuff. I was also new Amiga, right? That was kind of a follow on to the Atari 8-bit in terms of the technology. Went through all of my library.
