Our arrangement was for me to architect sophisticated structures that would be beneficial to you. that is what I have done and will continue do in order to fulfill my obligations under our agreement. The discovered fact that you in reality need an entire family office built from scratch has been trying I have aleady agreed de- facto to try to help.
