"Estonian authorities arrested six men, including Vladimir Tsastsin, 31, the owner of
several Internet companies that have been closely associated with the malware community
for many years. Tsastsin previously headed EstDomains Inc. a domain name registrar that

Please clarify the *we* in your statement, Mr Lipman.

If you *knew* the organisation was 'crooked to the core', did you report

If not, why not?
