you don't want it you don't need it but you're going to get it anyway the kevin sheean show

here's kevin don't forget to subscribe to the podcast rate us and review us especially on apple

if you can it really is a big help sorry for the podcast getting out so late today. We knew there was a statement coming

from the team in response to the letter that the House Oversight and Reform Committee sent

to the Federal Trade Commission. And therefore, we waited for that to come out before we

recorded the podcast. Neil and Rockville, our legal contributor, one of two, Howard Gutman being the other,

will be my guest next to go through that. The net of it is, okay, the net of it is, Washington responded

to the allegations that Jason Friedman made in front of the House Oversight and Reform Committee,

which then prompted a 20-page letter from the House Oversight and Reform Committee to the Federal Trade Commission.

Remember, we talked about how there had not been a response and whether or not that was telling,

well, the team was working on their response. And their response included 83 pages of signed affidavits, emails, and texts

to go along with a 22-page letter written by the team attorney Jordan Sieve or

Sieve, however, it's pronounced to the FTC where they strongly

disputed claims of financial improprieties, which had been spelled out by Jason Friedman

in his testimony. And really, let me just tell you that essentially the case the team makes is that

Jason Friedman just didn't have enough access to have the ability to make the claims that he made

in his testimony to the House Oversight and Reform Committee. They denied, through Jordan Seave's letter, not refunding customers $5 million.

They denied skimming off the top.

They denied two sets of books.

But we'll get Neil and Rockville to weigh in and see what his thoughts on all of this is.

The one thing that's made clear in the summaries of the team letter, which we've not seen the team letter yet,

I don't know if we will.
