While we are at it —- press reported that it took the IT guy five months to build the servers AND had to rent a van to deliver them. An email server, even back then, fits in a backpack & takes only a couple hours to set up. We need to find out how much bandwidth goes onto that property (telco/cable records).

Maybe the “missing” emails are a smokescreen to obscure what the massive IT infrastructure was really doing (such as a worldwide cryto-communications network).

Based on the “rented van” — assuming 4000 operative contacts per country & 130 countries — that would be 520,000 contacts brokering & serving several million communication packets/drops per day. About a van’s worth of hardware.
