sorry for taking so long to get back to you. The lawyers have strung it out, so I haven't been able to comment, as my public "influencer" persona is monitored. I have to be careful.
With respect to the last question, perhaps the most pertinent one -- "

"If you divide things 50:50, you don't end up with half"
Oh, no, you don't . I hope that helps.
