Anaphase Andy Responds!

Motivation and Entry into Politics

Andy's journey into Redmont's political scene was driven by a passion for politics and a desire to make a name for himself as a change-maker. "I love politics, and I wanted to become a known political figure. I wanted to make a name for myself as someone who can change how politics is done. And I do believe that I’ve achieved that." he stated, emphasizing his goal to transform the political landscape. 

The Transition from REC (non-profit) to ACG (for-profit)

REC, initially a grassroots movement focused on legislation and policy, pivoted into a for-profit political consulting firm. Andy explained that this shift was driven by his love for consulting and the existing infrastructure of the REC server. "It was always supposed to be a non-profit." he said, "I always operate off of my gut. It works well for me. So when I got the itch to go into the for-profit sector, I did." 

The 48-Hour Donation Refund Window

Addressing the short window given to REC donors to reclaim their contributions, Andy admitted, "I’m just impatient. That’s literally it. Everyone I’ve worked with knows this."

The $350,000 Contract with Vernicia & Louder_Leo

Andy denied any wrong doing and clarified that he only get the first installment of 175,000.00$: "I got paid the first 175k which would have covered about a week, but I waived the second fee after the whole VP debacle" he said. He also mentioned that discussions with Vernicia's campaign about the budget were initially joking and that he was surprised when they offered him the contract. 

Playing Both Sides

Regarding the allegations of playing both sides, Andy explained that he did not solicit End's campaign. Instead, End's campaign approached him with a higher offer, and he informed Vernicia's campaign as he "had no intention of taking it" about it. "but when Vern told me to take it, I figured they wanted me off of the campaign anyway (for whatever reason). " he said.

Business Ethics

Andy stood by his decision not to refund Vernicia & Louder_Leo, stating that he fulfilled his contractual obligations for the time he was paid. He asserted that his actions were within the bounds of the law and the contract, describing it as "just business."

Legal Concerns and Future in Consulting

Andy expressed confidence in his legal standing, stating that he acted within the law and that he is not worried about potential legal action. He also defended his actions, dismissing the notion of bribery. "I guess if you want to call a yearly wage a “bribe for doing your job,” then you could call it a bribe." he said. 

Despite the controversies, Andy remains active in political consulting and claims to "have very happy clients."
