FAO EVERYBODY: From the Legal Outreach Team at Bong Ventures LLC

Jim Jones was never misrepresented in this way

2. The legal harassment of Mr Julian Assange

The legal affairs outreach team would like to congratulate the Swedish authorities on its decision to drop legal charges against Mr Julian Assange, the well-known datapreneur and founder of WikiLeaks (erm, we think).

The Bong Ventures LLC legal team has worked tirelessly to have these baseless charges dropped.

The timing is particularly fortunate, given the recent sudden departure of Mike Bracken CBE from the Government Digital Service and the synchronised mass suicide by dozens of other GDS executives. We have recommended that Mr Assange fill the leadership vacuum at GDS without delay.

3. Further Investment in “Kash for Kidz!”

Bong Ventures has been a generous supporter of the children’s charity "Kash for Kidz!", which as you know was started by the flamboyant social entrepreneur Ms Carmen Mirandabatwoman.

We would like to thank "Kash for Kidz!" and Ms Mirandabatwoman for the vitally important charitable work it has been doing, and particularly for so many fascinating referrals to our incubators over the years.

We understand that the charity has been in financial difficulty for some time, and since BongVentures management no longer has access to the Kidz! UK! private swimming pool, we regret that no further donations will be forthcoming. As ever, the needs of the most vulnerable children must come first.
