Due to the vast amount of information in this document, I am not going to try to analyze it all today. In fact, I am hoping that my readers, other reporters, attorneys and analysts will help with this task. I do ask (not required in any way) that if you write up your results and want to link the document, that you link back to the Malone Institute landing page and the PDF documents found there.
Please use this document responsibly - I have not altered anything in it.
Rather than try to recreate what is in the document, please read for yourself. Over the course of time, expect more analysis.
