1. 84% im (b)(6) Mon, Jun 12 Grusch has made claims that he's contacted us and we've never responded. That's just not true. He's also made claims that we don't have access to investigate his claims. That's also not true. If I recall correctly you indicated he refused to come talk with us. I'd suggest you emphasize the need to come speak with us given his false statements and assertions. %' The, Jun 13 I will. But why don't you call or text him? 6:1 I don't have contact info and I can only contact through the secure mechanism. So I'll need an email. Further Mellon is stating that he spoke with him and Grusch states that AARO is not a lawfully empowered org to receive his info. 212 „/ es, SMH...
