Good evening.

do have a thought actually because i was reading a different article about this and the spin in the article that i'm reading or i guess the lens of the article that i'm reading is that at a certain point when you talk about the kind of money that meta is working with it all is imaginary and it means nothing and nothing is ever going to touch them but this is actually a large enough fine to have an actual impact um their first Their Meta's profit for the first half of 2026 was $43 billion.

This is actually a not insignificant slice of what they're accomplishing.

And if, Emmanuel, you're right, in more states and potentially more countries are able to do something like this, it could actually have an impact that might actually be felt in a way that you might not necessarily assume.

And what I find interesting about the number, I'm looking at another story on CNBC, which notes that the jury concluded that Mehta had more than 43 million violations, etc.

The crowd's still on the West Coast, but we have so much, so much to go through.

Every week, it seems, there's just more mayhem and craziness and things we just don't have enough time to get into.

Good evening.

It's too much.

But how would you use this to stream or to defraud streaming services or defraud the artists? And I wonder why it's in the Southern District of New York as well.

One quick thing, Emmanuel.

The judge that you mentioned, is it spelled K-O-E-L-T-L?

It's Off the Wall.

Kyle's still out on the West Coast doing very important things.
