Why are you so intent on destroying yourself? They are not bluffing, if you side with Adam it will be your undoing. I know this has more to do with SunnyMarch and your desire for creative autonomy but Adam is no good, he’s used you all this time, and he won’t pay the ultimate price: YOU will. He got the Rat to put him on the payroll as your Assistant for DS FFS only to turn around and stab them in the back! Do you have ANY idea how bad that looks on both of you? How isn’t the Rat going to take retaliatory actions against you? Listen I know you are more deeply involved in that IoW crap than many think. No one slips anything by me, no one.

HMRC + cooked books? Will go as well as you’d expect it to. I know intimidation was involved, I know they robbed you blind and to some extent that forced your hand but Adam and SoFail succeeded in dragging you into the muck with them. Your only hope is to side with the Rat, to honor your contract, your commitment to them. By doing so you will have access to a great many resources that will facilitate finding investment for your own projects. Don’t you see that? You won’t find anything reliable, anything clean on the other side. Stay away from dirty money as much as possible, you’ve no business making deals with criminals who when outed will destroy your reputation. Because that’s what’s about to happen, her filthy laundry once aired will wreck your public image. That’s what’s in store for you as punishment, you won’t get over this and as expected, yesterday was a disaster. Even Tom was upset, expect him to complain to WME about it. You are throwing your dirt onto your colleagues, and they resent you for it. Is it any wonder Martin is no longer on speaking terms with you Benedict? Think about why and act with intelligence for once. Your entire livelihood is in peril, without it you will wither away to nothing because I know your work is your raison d’être. And you are putting all of it on the line for a farce because of your bloody stupid pride? A pride as false as SoFail herself! You should always do things the right way and choose the truth. You said you hated liars, why then do you stay mired in nothing but lies? No wonder you are unhappy…you’ve betrayed yourself. I hope you will opt for a wiser course of action during the next few days because that may be all the time you have left.
