Q Actually maybe we could do this a different way because I really -- I don't want to confuse this. It would help me.
Could you do it in a chronological order? Because it sounds like you were doing it. When you started Stop the Steal, it changed. Like, could you tell me at this—before I was fundraising "X" way and then Stop the Steal happened. Because I got what you were saying, but there was a lot in there.
A Okay.
Q And it would be easier if you could just timewise how were you fundraising before and then at what—like, how did it change, at what point? That would be easier for me to keep track of.
A At brunch on November 4th, I decided that I was going to help an election integrity movement and that I would borrow from my 2018 protest in Florida, in Broward County.
And so when I was like a one-man team soliciting allies, I encouraged my existing customers, clients, and donors to donate for me to do this type of stuff. And then I offered activists to pay for their flights and I said we'll figure it out as we go.
I don't know how many weeks it lasted that we kind of had to do that, and I wasn't able to phase myself out. I was on a phone call with Scott Presler and Alexander Bruesewitz where I said, "I could help you guys set this up for 2 weeks, and then I'm going to hand it over to you guys. I don't want anything to do with this, you know, whatever."
And I couldn't get out. So what we had to do instead was form an LLC so that we could get a Donorbox and fundraise that way through, until we got deplatformed shortly after the 7th.
Q And so help me understand. Prior to Donorbox, when you were saying that it was you or that you were trying, what was the fundraising mechanism before
