Did you, YES or NO, use the argument that "Marcus used insider information of
Shredder in the WMCCC" in a legal case?

If NO, why is Marcus talking about this? What has been said exactly about the
Rebel-Tiger team?

I hope you understand that I'm very curious to know what is said in my back
about my team and myself.

I have had no personal contact with Marcus since a while, and I have learned
about the Rebel-Tiger team involved in a legal argument here on CCC. Not funny.
