Okay, for better or worse, I got pandemic hair and I'm in my jogging shirt, so...

My name's Reed Forgrave, I'm a writer in Minneapolis, and I wrote a story a couple years

ago from New York Times Magazine.

It's a story about a digital caper that somehow becomes a story about concealed identities.

I object, Your Honor, this trial is a travesty, it's a travesty of a mockery of a sham.

Shadia Tonies, an ethical firework salesman, malicious computer code, a mysterious press

based in Bill Meese, and most importantly, he's about...

He was 8 or 10 feet tall.

Bigfoot Hunters, my friends.

And he weighed 700 or 800 pounds.

At its core, this is a story about a heist.

It's a stand, it's the largest lottery stand in American history.

And I do think that this is ultimately a story that's about morality.

It's about greed and hubris and good and evil and the good guy chasing the bad guy.

And the good guy in this story is the dude named Rob Sand.

He's a prosecutor for the state of Iowa.

And Rob is someone with just an incredibly strong moral compass.

So strong that there are even family and friends who have ever made fun of him.

Look for his life for being a little bit too much of a square.

But honestly, when I look at Rob as a character, he's a breath of fresh air.

Just in that, we're in this age where morality seems so muddled.

We can't even tell the difference between fact and fiction.
