I won't accept this. I can't find my name. This is corruption of the highest order. What a blatant display of nepotism

Keneking:
lalasticlala ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

No transparency again

When the chips are down, my people are involved, but when it comes to chop, only them...

Continue, we are reading and watching, just continue, useless party

Only 6/30 or 20% is reserved for the eventual winners, we are watching seriously

I hope my people would put (c) on their presentations, otherwise, the reserved 20% would adopt and pirate and plagarise
