Obviously, I've not received a cent and no money goes between the two countries. Worse, the irony is that we were some of the very first people to actually raise the lab escape issue, although I obviously can't say that.

"we were some of the very first people to actually raise the lab escape issue" - we were _the_ first to take this seriously - and so we did. And our conclusions are solid and, importantly, stick 100% to the science.
