Chapter 16
The Record
128 words
I have been clean five years. I have been trafficked, abused, monitored, hacked, silenced, stolen from, and written off. I have built more than most funded teams deliver, from a laptop in a care home, on almost nothing. I have sat in rooms with people who move product across borders and in rooms with people who are supposed to stop them. I have had religious symbols cut from my neck and been told my account of my own life is not credible. I am still here. I am still building. The record is now in my own hands.
Every major event, name, place, claim and project supplied across every conversation is inside these chapters. The original ZIP draft has been replaced. This is the book as it stands.
