Love this, and I have one/paired question: Has the book been sent to the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office? To whatever judiciary body or prosecutorial office might hold the OCPO to account?
The office or judicial body would say this: We do not comment on theories or speculation put forth in commercial publications and/or this remains an active and ongoing investigation
At the time of publishing, the book was sent to numerous people in the press, in government, and the legal and legal-adjacent fields. The few recipients who mentioned anything to me about it at the time had the universal: Who wrote this??? Not one addressed the substance of the book.
“The anonymous authorship, while clearly a safety calculation, means there is no author accountability structure that readers can evaluate.” Who this person is has no relevance whatsoever on the exposed pattern of corruption when you logically walk through the documents. This person could be fucking Charles Manson and the evidence they present would still hold up under scrutiny.
Almost to a person, they asked me “who is this?” First question. The author anticipated this and very early on explained why this is the exact wrong response. I felt it was my job as a reader, and someone with more knowledge than the average reader, to try to disprove what I was reading. I could not.
The other reaction I have gotten a time or two is “too hard! can’t read it!” So to all the TLDRers our there, read an AI summary. Or listen to:

The most important observation at this point is this: None of these motherfuckers have addressed what is raised in this powerful, well-documented, well-supported book. It doesn’t matter who wrote it. Somebody figured it out, dumbasses.
Not that it matters, apparently, and not that Michigan will do anything to address this corruption.
Yup
