1) Was Ben’s paraphrase (quoted above) inaccurate?
Yes. We wouldn’t ask somebody to travel across borders with illegal drugs. We thought they were legal where she was going, and that’s the only reason we asked her. We actually recommended she not travel across borders with illegal recreational drugs, which she was in the habit of doing.
2) Was Ben’s claim that Emerson said the summary of his call with Nonlinear (of which Ben’s paraphrase was a part) “good summary” false?
Yes, it was false. We told him that. We sent him multiple emails saying that the article was riddled with falsehoods and misleading claims. The rest of that sentence was “Good summary. Some points still require clarification”. I think this was very intellectually dishonest of Ben to publish just one part of the sentence.
3) What were the so-called “recreational drugs”, if there were any? Were they legal drugs, obtained with a prescription, but used recreationally?
We didn’t ask for any recreational drugs across borders. We asked for one pack of producitivity medicine which we thought were legal where she was going. When we found out it required a prescription, we said never mind.
Thanks for the questions!
