tamar, do we know if that is part of the prosecution s strategy? well, that is pretty common with large racketeering cases like this, we saw it into other large rico cases that fulton da fani willis has brought during her tenure as a prosecutor, there was a big famous atlanta public schools cheating scandal where several dozen educators from atlanta public schools were indicted, but in the end of much smaller number ended up going to trial and only 11 were convicted. we are seeing it now as part of a gang racketeering case against the record label and alleged street gang, young slime life. i believe we are only down to eight or ten defendants at this point, so i think the expectation is that there will be plea agreements, reached with some of these defendants. and you are so right, for folks who are not named trump, who are not personally wealthy, these large racketeering cases can be a real drain on your wallet. some of these can take six, eight months to litigate in court, there is a
