Ms. Chollet: One day after sentencing the culprits of a murdered journalist in Malta who worked against organized crime ([1]https://www.occrp.org/en/thedaphneproject/five-years-after-daphne-c aruana-galizias-murder-the-battle-against-impunity-in-malta-continues), Mr. Peter Thiel was reported to apply for a Maltese passport ([2]https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/15/technology/peter-thiel-malta-cit izenship.html). Mr. Thiel was on the board of Meta during the Facebook transition, and we are concerned Mr. Zuckerberg and Mr. Thiel are operating under the PayPal Mafia umbrella. Ms. Chollet, these type of activities jeopardize innovation of digital assets. Can your office please respond by 5:00pm EST Monday (October 17, 2022) on these claims? If Meta is operating behind the PayPal Mafia banner, Meta's board has a fiduciary duty to be honest with the public.

From our correspondence below, Meta keeps asking us to detail our relationship with the Moscow Exchange. Ms. Chollett, yet again we point to the Metaverse and Money whitepaper mentioned below and published by Citigroup. The Metaverse and Money research highlights insights both from Mr. Putin and Mr. Zuckerberg. It would appear that Meta has made classic marketplace manipulation excuses concerning Meta's mark exactness to the Moscow Exchange. How does Meta plan to resolve harm made to the Digital Asset marketplace through Meta's mark exactness to the Moscow Exchange? Finally, Mr. Peter Thiel was on Meta's board of directors during the Facebook brand re-boot to Meta. Mr. Thiel also sits on the board of Palantir. Henceforth, we are very concerned that the self described "PayPal Mafia" may have had questionable intent associated with Facebook's re-boot to Meta with mark exactness to the Moscow Exchange. At potential sacrifice of international peace and security. We ask for Meta's response no later than October 5, 2022 by Noon EST. Furthermore, we would like Meta to answer if Mr. Zuckerberg considers himself a current or former colleague of the 'PayPal Mafia.' Sending you warm regards.
