[9:16pm] Joe: Jokeefe is right on track with what I am thinking
[9:16pm] Joe: This is a tangled mess that I think it would be a waste of our attention.

[9:17pm] Joe: He's is a crooked businessman. There is plenty of proof of that.
[9:17pm] Bosun: I was not thinking of a diatribe, just a short statement.
[9:18pm] Joe: It's more based on the fact that it's a can of worms that is just not worth our time currently. Not when we could be focused on fixing the platform and building the states, such as CA
[9:18pm] Sayyida: aprox 10 min vote for more time?
