00:00 Couple of things to say.
00:01 First of all, that this whole situation
00:03 is subject to an ongoing criminal investigation.
00:06 But also, the government is taking action, legal action,
00:10 against the company involved.
00:11 So there's a limit to what I can say,
00:13 other than to say we take all these things incredibly seriously.
00:16 And that's why I said the government's taking
00:17 legal action.
00:18 And because there's a criminal investigation ongoing,
00:20 I can't comment any further.
