Aaron also mentioned you want cash up front. I'm aware. I have cash --- Further, these people have me worried about the safety of my family, I had to leave my crying GF to return home because I didn't want my mother to be alone after my people couldn't trace the number. While I do imagine procuring the $22,500 won't be an issue, I want you to know my resolve is absolute. As mentioned, I abdicate the media prosecution and correspondence to you in full. However, these people not only did a grotesque thing(scamming their own supporters), they also have me fearing for my family's safety --- I will happily forfeit some portion of my equity in my company to my partners if I have any issue coming up with the capital(my partners have made millions upon millions working with me before, they would do just about anything to get more equity in our current venture)... Money won't be an issue here.

You're right, it was long, run on sentences, ETC. --- It was also very rude of me to interrupt you. Not that it's a good excuse, but, I've been very anxious, and haven't had many people to talk to. Since speaking with you before I have found a significant chunk of new evidence, I would love to show this to you, and receive your thoughts. I have found what I view as a 98%+ probability through observing code that Katrina and Tang share a bank account together. Further, I would like to make you the following offer: I don't want to receive credit for this story(if it's harmful to the story). I am also willing to certify that I will not make any public representations on the story (beyond what I have already done), and that you will control access to me, should you wish, so that I can provide technical expertise to those making inquiries. In essence, your story - you prosecute (should you so desire). Not about me, not about my lack of legitimacy, ETC. - Just the truth. Additionally, I have been actively communicating with Scott Shane at the New York Times, I think he'd love to run a story about this (granted, he can't navigate the technicals as they stand), he just needs me to walk him through some of the technicals more. I've been speaking with him an hour or so a day for a couple days now, primarily about other topics related to social media, he brought up Katrina today and I told him I didn't want to know, didn't want to know when he'd publish, ETC. --- They had me quite scared, now I'm back on the horse. These people have been sending me threatening texts, and at 4 AM this morning they signed me up to receive "CBD" (cannabis oil). There is also a possibility a person on their side made a false representation of being a SS agent and called me, awaiting return call from SF SS. I told them, if they continue to mess with me, I would come back down the rabbit hole, they didn't stop. So, my offer to you: -Show you the new evidence, show you what else I can find rather easily. -Your story, your show, go forth and conquer. (I also won't interrupt you on the phone.) -Thousands of people in D.C. have been emailing each other my most recent Katrina piece to one another. (I can detect location and whether traffic is direct) Reference: [https://www.truthexam.com/2018/04/breaking\-top\-trump\-staff\-tied\-to\-massive\-network\-to\-scam\-his\-own\-supporters/](https://www.truthexam.com/2018/04/breaking-top-trump-staff-tied-to-massive-network-to-scam-his-own-supporters/) At this point, I am fearing for my life... The texts suggested location tracking as well as it being part of an "escalation" track that if I don't stop I will receive harm. -- I refuse to kneel. However, I will happily abdicate all front facing media relations, press, ETC. to you Further, I promise to listen to you, and not to interrupt. P.S. Do you find it weird that Katrina hasn't asked for a correction? We had it get to her through a mutual contact and she "blew it off". --- They are harassing me. It stands to reason that I got most of what I think right. Let me know if we can talk - try and see if we can find good chemistry, Regards, Cyrus Massoumi Free on my cell all day - 415.745.5411 ## Facts ```json { "platform": "Gmail", "source_id": "162c10e5108f7ef0", "date_as_recorded": "Fri, 13 Apr 2018 15:09:23 -0700", "from": "Cyrus Massoumi ", "to": "Nathan Ballard , Aaron McClellan ", "subject": "Re: Cyrus -- Update, Mr. Ballard -- New Evidence", "category": null, "body_status": "full text (agent capture)", "account": "massoumi.cyrus@gmail.com", "retrieval": "/home/hatch/workspace/email/gmail/eadae639e43c0f8acb9f979a307930984397a9b2d70daa194341ddfca9061f7c.md" } ``` --- **above:** [[fn-index-emails]]
