I’m bringing this up now, as I’ve been inspired by someone from the former Otakon Photo Suite, who recently conjured up the courage to publicly shed some light on their experiences (https://www.reddit.com/r/Otakon/comment ... oto_suite/)with Otakorp Leadership’s apparent ongoing, patterned, destructive behavior. This post reflects my own opinions and experiences. They may or may not reflect those of the former Otakon AMV Theater team, unless explicitly stated. I am choosing to share my thoughts with the community at-large, because you deserve to hear my side of the story, and hopefully it helps folks make an informed decision as to whether this kind of behavior is deserving of your continued support.
I am choosing to publish my thoughts on animemusicvideos.org because it is the least ephemeral option. I am not doxxing anyone, and I am not knowingly presenting any fabricated information as fact. There is a lot of evidence to reinforce my claims that can’t be publicly shared because it was expressed in private conversations (E-mails and whatnot). If you want hints as to anyone that’s likely a key player in this story, look to the Otakon program guides for names repeated across multiple unrelated departments, especially in leadership roles. In a volunteer organization, it's not uncommon for folks to wear several hats, but multiple leadership roles across several departments in any organization can be a red flag. Within the past few years, Otakorp has had between 700-900 volunteer staff members donating their time and energy to run Otakon and keep the organization afloat year ‘round. If you find it unlikely that an organization of this size only has a handful of folks willing to lead, well, so do I.
I am, however, an unreliable narrator. I can only assume intentions based on observations, and while my expressed recollections of events are all documented in various writings, my interpretations of them should be subject to scrutiny. In my removal from Otakorp, I have suffered a significant, personally traumatic event. I am not unbiased, despite my best efforts.
But I’m already getting ahead of myself. This is the AMV Abridged (lol) story on why Otakon 2026 (and likely forward) will be a very different AMV experience for all involved.
For some background, I had been running Otakon’s AMV Contest since 2008, with assistance from a very dedicated team of like-minded individuals throughout the years. I created and directed Otakon’s AMV Theater division where, since 2014, our team has been steadily growing over the course of that decade. I’ve been helping run Iron Editor since 2005, and I’m the proud owner of a 3-digit animemusicvideos.org user ID. I started editing AMVs in 1999. I have, in no uncertain terms, seen some things. I’m saying “I” a lot because this story is mostly about “my” removal. The AMV Contest, the AMV Theater, and the former AMV Theater team all suffered unfortunate collateral damage, the bulk of which essentially came from my exile. Even so, the team stood behind my efforts to fight back against what we perceived as gross negligence and mismanagement on the part of Otakorp’s current Leadership.
For reasons that will become more apparent later, it is important to understand that Otakorp is a not-for-profit corporate entity that meets several times throughout the year. When you purchase a “pass” to attend Otakon, what you’re really investing in is a membership to this organization, and that membership entitles you to attend certain meetings throughout their definition of a membership year. “Otakon” is the name given to the largest of these meetings, where most of the magic happens.
The AMV Contest and AMV Theater are LARGELY self-funded, a rarity for Otakon departments, especially considering the scale at which we’re operating. And by “self”, I literally mean “me”. I’ve personally spent over $100K on equipment (and revisions) since 2008, without complaint, because if it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right. We could either argue year after year about the shortcomings imposed by rentals and contractors, or we could just do it ourselves and be done with it. The vast majority of the remaining scraps that were expensed to Otakorp over the years were consumable items such as pencils, tape, glowsticks, level 1 potions, etc. Otakorp rents the room, the furniture, and two screens. I provided and transported the rest of the gear, saving them an estimated quarter of a million dollars over the course of my volunteer “career” at Otakorp. As an additional financial benefit to Otakon’s operations, all volunteer AMV Theater staff are cross-trained on all equipment, trained on how to serve all of the room’s functions, and scheduled such that there is always sufficient staff present in the room, capable of taking action whenever it is necessary to ensure a positive experience for all of Otakorp’s members. It is not uncommon for multiple panel rooms at any event, Otakon included, to use rented equipment, operated and maintained by a solitary, contract technician that floats between locations on-demand, and is rarely present when one needs them. To the best of my knowledge (and I’ve double-checked with some very responsible adults), Otakorp does not pay any sort of fee when we provide our own equipment as opposed to them renting. We pay an unloading fee whether we unload our equipment or the dock workers do, but that’s a standard and not unreasonable Union line-item.
Due to our consistent innovation and expansion, by Otakon 2024, we finally exceeded the weight limit of my personal van by enough to bend the rear wheels inwards, which even non-mechanics might recognize as “a problem”. For 2025, we requested an additional budget to rent a commercial van, since I wasn’t in the position to immediately buy a commercial vehicle for one weekend a year (which the universe made extra sure of as I was slapped with a mountain of unrelated medical bills soon after). Despite the decades of cost-savings, for the first time in a very long time, Otakorp seemed VERY interested in how much it would cost for them to “replicate” our entire setup. Maybe they just wanted to justify the expense, but maybe they had other plans…
The important part of our story really starts around January 2025. Otakorp I.T. informed all relevant departments that all event rules were to be self-published as a Google Doc, which would then be posted publicly, still in Google Docs form. I didn’t feel that a Google Doc expressed the professionalism expected of a massive convention that just finished celebrating its 30th anniversary, so I inquired to my superior (the head of Programming) if I could post the AMV Contest rules on a secondary website that I.T. could then link to, keeping things easy for them and professional for us (the submission form was always hosted off-site, allowing me to fix issues with it on a moment’s notice, rather than requiring me to cut through weeks of red tape to change a line of code). My department head approved this request. I created a thematically congruent page (https://vicbond007.com/otakon2025_rules/), got the contents approved by the Programming Director and Otakorp’s lawyer, and sent the address off to I.T. at the end of March, when we typically submit the AMV Contest rules for publication.
A little over a week later, I.T. flagged our request as “stuck” in their own tracking system, and several days later (and after much inquiry) we were informed that I.T. had a list of demands that we had to answer to if they were to publish the rules for the AMV Contest at all, off-site or not. They demanded source code, server access, submitter info, and historical data among other things. At no point prior had we been approached about these prerequisites, and I don’t really think that any of them were necessary to create a link to some text. Since you are reading this on animemusicvideos.org, you are likely aware that when it comes to AMVs specifically, there are complex issues of copyright and artist ownership in content that go beyond what someone might experience in other creative displays of fandom like cosplay or Artist Alley art. Otakorp's I.T. department was not clear about their own intentions, protocols and plans, despite the aggressive “deadline”, which caused me significant concern. I addressed my complaints with I.T. and the head of Programming, expressing agitated concern that Otakorp seemed to be holding the contest hostage until they had enough data to assume complete control over it. I also made it clear that I didn’t take too kindly to the future of the AMV Contest being used as a weapon to force me into making an irreversible, potentially detrimental decision. This is a high-pressure strategy you’d expect from ransomware, not leadership at a fandom convention. For over a month, I was given the runaround, sometimes being told that updates were made when they in fact were most definitely not, ultimately leaving us with zero real progress towards announcing the 2025 contest. And remember, the progress that we were asking for was to change the link on an existing menu bar.
As the Contest deadline drew near, with Otakorp still failing to add a single link to their website unless I agreed to what my team and I felt was a hostile takeover, I updated the 2024 AMV Contest submission form to display the following, directing entrants to the 2025 rules and a functional 2025 submission form:
And no, the above text was not a typo. In May 2025, the Otakon website was still displaying the 2024 AMV Contest information, which included a link to the 2024 submission form (after all, this was the same website that didn’t even display the dates for Otakon 2025…by the time that Otakon 2025 was in-progress). Folks were clicking this outdated link in desperation, trying to submit their art to Otakon 2025. So, because I.T. didn’t take the old, bad info down, I was able to use this old link to communicate the 2025 rules and submission form to the community.
When patience and good behavior fails, passive aggressive pettiness seems to work, albeit a little too well. Within hours of making this change, Otakorp’s President, Vice-President, Con-Chair, and Chief of Staff, who were all very absent in this discussion up until this point, took great offense to my circumventing I.T.’s digital siege of the AMV Contest. They did not seem to take umbrage with I.T.’s behavior, but they were exceptionally upset at me for drawing attention to what we regarded as their inappropriate handling of this issue. They demanded “change” but when I provided background on the events leading me to this point for clarity, and inquired as to what corrective wording they would deem appropriate, they branded me as uncooperative, demanded disciplinary action, and removed ALL REFERENCES to AMVs from both the Otakon website, and all of Otakorp’s social media accounts, both “current” and historical. If my action was so damaging, they could have edited out the outdated link on their own webpage and dealt with corrective actions afterwards, but Leadership likely wanted me to see firsthand the firepower of their fully armed and operational battle station. They did not behave in a manner that supported the AMV Contest or protected Otakon’s own reputation, but my failure to comply meant that they were not afraid to exercise every avenue available to them in order to reduce us to dust on a moment’s notice, then place the blame on us.
When revised wording was finally provided by the Programming director, I applied the change in minutes. Following that change, Leadership scheduled a discussion to clarify I.T.’s needs and how many of these requests the AMV Contest team could realistically comply with on such short notice. I asked that the rest of my team be invited to this meeting (and provided their contact info with their permission) since they too would be assisting with this endeavour, and Leadership conveniently disregarded that request, opting instead for secrecy. So, it was representatives from Leadership (some of whom seemed out of the loop in regards to the sequence of events leading up to this conversation), a representative from I.T., and myself. I.T. presented their demands as necessary for backup purposes, but never previously inquired as to whether we had such systems already in-place (we did). Nonetheless, we agreed to give them the benefit of the doubt and provide rolling updates of the current submission form data, as well as all of the videos once we had collected them all, with historical data to follow, I.T. just had to provide us with someplace safe to send the data. They never did, which suggests to us that they weren’t as interested in “backups” as they had proposed, and maybe, more interested in control. The Otakon website was then updated with the rules in a Google Doc (which they made me re-type), with a little over a month left to feasibly collect entries.
I then had to attend a disciplinary hearing, where I presented a 19 page document, with screenshots, explaining how the contest was unreasonably attacked, and just why I had to take things as far as I did (there are more details that aren’t justifiable in a forum post that’s already this long). This meeting was a one-sided discussion between Leadership and myself. I.T. was not present to plead their case.
In July 2025, Leadership decided that for the following year (2026), I would not be allowed to run the AMV Contest because it was officially deemed that MY actions had caused irreparable harm to Otakorp’s reputation, and I was instead offered the opportunity to apply for my old job again in 2027 after I had learned how to be a better leader. No action was taken against I.T. Uh-huh… We’ve seen this before…
I conferred with my staff, most of whom were present the day that I received this ruling from Leadership (as we were gathered to watch all 10 hours of AMVs submitted to that year’s contest in order to determine the finalists), and we all agreed that in light of recent events, and learning from those who came before, this was the end. A decent chunk of us started volunteering for Otakon in our 20’s, showed no signs of stopping as we crossed into our 40’s, but Otakorp was making it pretty clear that the club was shutting down. This was not a fair fight that we could win, so our new mission was for us to be on our best behavior, put on the best 2025 possible, and instead of burning it all down in a blaze of glory, say our goodbyes to the community that we served while we still had a chance. In the interim, I had to attend leadership counseling, and sign a non-negotiable document declaring that I agreed to step down in 2026, before they’d allow me to set foot inside of Otakon 2025.
Days before Otakon 2025 (I think it was Wednesday, August 6th), Leadership declared that all staff were required to watch a series of mandatory “staff training” videos on their own time (while we’re setting up the convention…). This training was essentially 6 narrated videos on how great our corporate structure is, who the leaders are, and what to do if anybody is observed stepping out of line at Otakon. We weren’t the only department ruffling feathers that year, but it felt very targeted. Comply, or else.
If 2025 felt like a farewell tour, that’s because it was. From the title cards between events that highlighted every AMV Theater staffer, to the fact that the Iron Editor intro announced that the event was presented by “AMV Theater” instead of “Otakon”, the weekend was, very consciously, our grand finale. We all knew that this was our last Otakon for the foreseeable future, and every effort was made to give the attendees the best possible experience, while subtly highlighting the gears that made this machine go as hard as it did.
Near the end of Sunday, in-between the AMV Contest awards and the last non-finalist block, I took to the stage to explain that I would not be returning next year, that my departure was not my choice, and I said my goodbyes on behalf of the team. Here is a link to that exact speech:
https://youtu.be/lolZWdVFuBM
This link is unlisted, so that it doesn’t get algorithmically suggested to folks looking for other Otakon videos, but feel free to share it. If you want to find it, it’s out there, but I don’t think con-drama should get shoved in folks’ faces when they’re just looking to remember a good time. That would be damaging to Otakorp’s reputation, and contrary to the accusations, that’s never been my intention. I can also freely share it with you all since I am no longer a member of Otakorp, and thus, not able to violate a code of conduct for an organization that I don’t belong to. Recording in the building is permitted, and I have that in writing. If the above video finds itself taken down, I’d unfortunately have to compensate by posting the entire transcript in text form, where every search engine and LLM could then do their thing, but hopefully it doesn’t come to that. It’s better that you hear my own words, from my own mouth. I suggest that you watch it first, then come back to this post (we’ll wait!), as hearing that speech in the moment is critical to best understand the events that follow.
As we were packing up our gear, the Chief of Staff E-mailed me to inquire if I had given my immediate resignation. I told them that I did not, and that I would be resigning for the 2026 year as planned, mainly so that I could participate in the upcoming election process (at the time of writing, memberships lapse every January 31st, which was well after elections). I was then told that resignation or not, my actions demanded prompt remediation, and that I was immediately being removed from staff, and no longer welcome in the building. My E-mail was then disabled minutes after I received this notice of eviction. As the con was now over, they graciously allowed me to keep my badge, so at least I have a little souvenir from one of the most emotionally devastating events in my life. Despite still being allowed in the building, the rest of the AMV Theater team opted out of appearing for what they knew would be their last Otakon staff group photo, choosing instead to spend that time with the people who mattered more to them, each other. We packed our stuff, ordered some pizzas, and poured one out for our department.
My wife (and fellow AMV Theater staffer) covertly brought a blank notebook to Otakon 2025, and asked members of the community that could keep the secret, if they had anything that they wanted me to hear. I did read everything that people wrote in the journal (out loud, only if prior permission was granted). It was very touching to hear how meaningful we were to friends and complete strangers alike. I feel like we were very good at disappearing into the shadows and not tooting our own horns over the years, and it was heartbreakingly powerful to see that our efforts weren’t going unnoticed by the community that we served.
Per Otakorp’s bylaws, at the following meeting, the Board of Directors was required to ratify the “triumvirate’s” decision to remove me from staff, in order for the decision to stick. To ratify (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ratify) something means that one both acknowledges that something happened, and that one also approves of the action taken. To the best of my knowledge, and we have the video (it’s the one up there ^), nobody on the board or in Senior Leadership was present during my speech. I do not believe that anybody making that ratification decision heard a word of what was said. The President declared that this ratification was only to recognize that The Board acknowledged that a speech was given and that action was taken in response to it. It is reflected in the Otakorp meeting minutes that Leadership changed the definition of a legal term, and that the board acted accordingly by “ratifying” my removal, in the absence of any other evidence as to my actions and whether the response was appropriate. To further challenge the board’s decision meant taking the vote to the membership, which I attempted to do.
I was supposed to be able to present this challenge to Otakorp membership (i.e., staff), but Otakorp’s lawyer was consulted and in my opinion, they leveraged a poorly written bylaw as a loophole, forcing this discussion behind closed doors where it could not influence an election and potentially hold Leadership accountable for the harm that THEY might be subjecting the organization to. I highly doubt that this advice was given for free. So, in an ultimately futile video call, I argued that some on The Board were tricked into making their decision, and that my “public” statement was given to an appropriate audience given the nature of the subject matter. Remember, Otakon is a meeting of members, closed to the public. If I can’t address an issue with Otakorp management to Otakorp members at an Otakorp meeting, then when? I argued that while The Board claimed that my website shenanigans hurt Otakon’s reputation, I demonstrated via submission numbers that we’ve never done better (except for one statistical outlier facilitated by the GOAT, Pat Bohnet), and that’s with Otakorp’s apparent attempts to sabotage us. My message was seen by a select few, eagerly watching for a chance to submit art to Otakon, while Otakorp’s actions have already caused significant community backlash at the public sacrifice of a tentpole event.
However, I know a suicide mission when I see one, and there was no way that I was winning this argument. So, in an unhinged mic-drop moment, I subjected those that were challenging my actions to my entire speech. The speech that nobody heard prior to that moment, yet they all deemed defamatory and ratified the immediate corrective action that followed. Even after hearing both the speech and my defense, they voted unanimously to uphold my removal. To the best of my knowledge, no actions were taken against anyone else involved, and Leadership was seemingly not held accountable for their potential contributions towards Otakon’s declining reputation.
There are other Otakorp/Otakon departments with similar stories. We weren’t the first, and now that Leadership has a playbook to keep dissenters in line, we won’t be the last. Just one year prior, a member of AMV Theater staff who performed a leadership role for Otakorp in 2023 and 2024, expressed interest in running for President or Con-Chair. While Leadership seemed more than happy to allow her to leverage her experience to assist and uplift other struggling departments under the Ota-umbrella, their tone then shifted to that of a campaign to discredit her both as a staffer and as a person, publicly tarring and feathering her at the annual election meeting for forty-three of the most uncomfortable on-camera minutes I’ve ever had the “pleasure” of sitting through. She dared to fly too close to the sun, and once she was shot out of the sky, we were the only department left to catch her. We may or may not have been targeted in part to tie up her loose end, but I mainly bring this story up because there are a lot of good, hard-working people desperately trying to keep Otakon awesome, who are being systematically shoved out and silenced by this administration. Otakorp makes it clear that they have a legal budget, us struggling volunteers often do not.
This entire ordeal could be compared to pulling up to a gas station for a few routine gallons of fuel, only to be told by the attendant that they can’t fill your tank until you fix your worn brake pads, your transmission fluid leak, perform an undesirable software update on your radio, and agree to letting them search your trunk at any time. Then, when you understandably decline and try to drive off, they call in an air strike to protect other motorists from your dangerous vehicle, and finally the military fines you for the big smoking crater that your former ride left behind when they were left with no choice but to take drastic action. It sounds insane, because it is.
Some efforts were attempted by concerned staffers to hold Leadership accountable for their behavior, but those attempts were quickly squashed, and one staffer was even reprimanded for bringing up new business…during the “new business” portion of a meeting. The checks and balances all seem to blindly defend each other. In the last few years, they have repeatedly demonstrated that if they want you removed, they will remove you. It’s disheartening to see that it doesn’t seem to matter how much you’re contributing, or how right you may be. You’re good until you’re not, and then you’re gone.
Otakon has a long history of being for fans, by fans. AMV Theater/AMV Contest has always operated with this fan-first approach as a core tenant, even well before I took over. If you've visited the Otakon AMV Theater over the years, you've probably noticed that we took fan feedback extremely seriously, and we would work throughout the off-season to come back better year after year. While Otakorp recently seems to consider fan programming to be secondary to their industry presences, the AMV departments have always treated our content creators, whether they were contest entrants or presenters, with the utmost respect, and that level of respect extended to the attendees who all deserved a great time. When you presented in AMV Theater, we strove to deliver an experience on a level that you rarely saw anywhere else. When you submitted to the contest, we gave your entry the attention that they all deserve. We watched every second of it, regardless of early impressions, and made absolutely certain that folks in attendance got to see their entries played at Otakon in the most ideal conditions that we could engineer. Winning is fun, but the experience of sharing your art with a room full of like-minded individuals is second to none, and we made darn sure that every entrant got that opportunity. There are winners, there are finalists, and there are non-finalists, but you are all artists. When it came time to determine the winners, we spared no expense to ensure fair audience voting. Audience voting is hard! We have to prepare, distribute, and collect printed ballots, and then count every vote on each ballot by hand, sometimes twice to ensure accuracy. It’s a massive labor investment, but to do otherwise would disrespect Otakon’s heritage. The Otakon AMV Contest has always been for the audience. This is your weekend, you should decide how it plays out. You all help to make it special.
As others have already expressed both here and elsewhere, it’s disappointing to see Otakon’s new AMV Contest coordinators abandoning tradition and empowering a select cadre of judges, rather than continue to work with the community as a whole. A voting system which we know from experience, is significantly less labor intensive and more corruptable than the alternative. There are a thousand other conventions for this year’s top-ten videos to make the rounds at. Otakon was supposed to be different. Maybe not better, but different. Unfortunately, I’m fairly certain that this change is here to stay, as adapting to feedback now would alert the corporate overlords that Vic and his team can still manipulate their event, and I doubt that their egos will take kindly to that. Otakorp has disenfranchised the artists and attendees, and made the AMV Contest all about themselves by insisting that their appointed representatives know better. Couple this with their apparent sock-puppet Reddit account theAMVenthusiast, and they’re making it abundantly clear that the respect that our team showed to the community is all but gone already.
So, what happens going forwards?
First, Otakon AMV Theater is definitely gone. Any attempt to resurrect it without us would result in it being compared to the way that we ran things, and seeing how this Leadership has managed other departments that they “acquired”, it’d likely be closer to a Fyre Festival than a Woodstock. They don’t have the team, technology, procedures, experience, and judgment to be even remotely as successful as we were, and I don’t see Otakorp investing time and money into this function while our old room could more easily be converted to an additional large panel room to seat the guests that bring in real human money.
The AMV Contest has new coordinators, and as far as I know, neither I (obviously) nor any of the former AMV Theater staffers are aiding any Otakon AMV efforts. AMV Theater staff were asked about their plans for 2026, and after some inquiry from the concerned staffers, they were all ghosted by Leadership. I understand that they all declined to further participate in solidarity, as Otakorp showed little interest in utilizing their talents, with Otakorp’s greater focus seemingly put on placing volunteers whom they could count on to tow the corporate line. In fact, the former AMV Theater staffers only found out about this change in leadership via a slide deck presented at a 2026 meeting, and they had not been offered a means to provide any input on the matter.
The AMV Community is tightly knit, and many reputable creators are already silently boycotting Otakon in protest of Otakorp’s treatment of us. With declining support, Otakorp will likely measure the success of future AMV Contests in a binary fashion. If they had an AMV Contest, then it was a success. Ratings don’t matter to Corporate when the opening weekend is big enough. From a business perspective, there is little to be gained when running a good contest versus a sub-par one, so there’s little incentive for them to care. The quality could suffer due to the dearth of artists who choose to enter, so we will likely see them scramble for entries by increasing the per-person submission limit, removing sandbagging/freshness rules, and increasing the prize budget to bribe entrants that may be on-the-fence about submitting, with the funding and support that my department never saw.
Otakorp itself will unfortunately likely not learn anything from this, other than maybe how to successfully eliminate those perceived to be disloyal from future Otakorp efforts. Fan-created content is what made Otakon stand out and grow throughout the 90’s and 2000’s. Where the con was once an innovator and community leader in what a fan con could do (and we do have public receipts of other, smaller cons citing Otakon as an aspirational goal), current Leadership is more focused on copying what other (industry) cons are doing, and turning the event into an imitator rather than an innovator, at the expense of what made Otakon so great in the first place. Unfortunately for Otakorp, there is evidence to suggest that they don’t have the industry support that would justify such current behavior, nor do I see it coming. If they are jumping the gun and sacrificing fan programming in hopes that senpai notices their scars, that’s not just poor leadership, that’s willful ignorance on the part of children cosplaying as leaders.
What Otakon does have going for itself is a location central to the entire US East coast, great timing in the middle of summer, and a multi-generational longevity that attracts entire families. I can’t even imagine the scandal that would be required for Otakorp to suffer financially. Otakorp has to know that Otakon can likely get away with providing less, because Otakon’s real value to the community is the friends and the memories that we make there, only subtly influenced by the efforts or lack thereof by any specific department. Even among AMV Theater staff, the chance encounters and enduring relationships formed while on-site at Otakon created careers, families, and memories that will last a lifetime; and Otakorp leadership didn't directly contribute to any of that.
As for the AMV Theater team, we don’t want to hang it up. It’ll be a difficult hunt, but eventually we’ll find a reasonably sized local convention that’s looking for the drop-in, all-inclusive next-level of service that we provide, to elevate their programming in the best ways that we know how to. It could even be for Otakon again (though this is realistically the least likely future for us), as our qualms are with the current Leadership and not with Otakon itself. We love Otakon, that’s why we fought so hard for it, and why we served for a combined total of 130 years on Otakon’s AMV staff. We may even find ourselves doing something unrelated to AMVs, as we can slot ourselves into a variety of programming, but we do love us some anime, some music, some video, and especially you. Wherever we go, we go together. My team was essential to the room’s success, and I will not turn my back on them. Never turn your back on family.
Even though this post has gone on forever, there is a LOT that I’m leaving out. Between myself and the other departments that claim to be wronged by this administration, there’s enough for a tell-all book, but that’s not necessary here. I promised an explanation, and I meant it. I’m more than happy to expand on further details (as much as would be legally permitted), but for now, this should at least give some more clarity to the cryptic drip of information that’s been presented thus far. Bear witness, the AMV Expedition’s flag is planted as a warning for those who come after, but also as a monument to those that came before.
Thank you for your time, thank you for your support, and thnks fr th mmrs.
