MARQUETTE, Mich. — The primary message to Jordan DeMay’s Instagram arrived innocently sufficient.
“Hey,” it learn.
It was the night of March 24, 2022. The sender was “Dani.Robertts,” somebody who would later assert to be a 19-year-old school lady from Atlanta. Her profile image confirmed a fairly teen in a automobile with a German shepherd. She adopted 1,805 accounts and had 683 followers, together with one in all Jordan’s teammates at Marquette Excessive College, the place he was a well known soccer and basketball participant.
Jordan DeMay, 17, stood 6-foot-2, with blond hair. He was the homecoming king, widespread and humorous, with an expansive group of associates. Accidents ended his aim of enjoying small-college soccer, however he was set to attend close by Northern Michigan College together with his girlfriend, Kyla, within the fall.
At 10:19 p.m., Jordan responded. “Who’s you?” he requested.
The preliminary dialogue between Jordan and Dani Robertts went on for practically two hours, largely involving small discuss and a few inconsequential image exchanges — headshots primarily, one other of Jordan in his basketball uniform. By then, Dani had gained a measure of belief.
After midnight, Dani talked about that she preferred enjoying “horny video games.” She wished to change extra mature images.
Jordan repeatedly talked about that Dani won’t be “actual” or that this all could be “faux.” He jokingly responded to at least one request for a unadorned picture by sending a well-liked joke meme. It seems that, at instances, he did not take any of this critically.
Undeterred, Dani saved urgent and urgent, finally sending an intimate picture of her personal. Now it was Jordan’s flip, Dani mentioned. He had one thing on her, in any case. Honest is honest, Dani implied.
Jordan was in his bed room, within the basement of the split-level residence, in Michigan’s huge and desolate Higher Peninsula. It was after midnight. His father, stepmother and two younger stepsisters have been sleeping upstairs.
He went into his rest room, pulled down his pants and snapped a photograph within the mirror.
He hit ship.
Nearly instantaneously, the pleasant Dani Robertts was gone. There had, after all, been no Dani Robertts.
All alongside, Jordan had been chatting with Samuel Ogoshi, then 22, in Lagos, Nigeria. Samuel was a part of a small ring of on-line scammers, together with his youthful brother Samson, then 19, and a 3rd man, Ezekiel Robert, then 19.
As soon as Jordan despatched the picture, the three males sprang into motion with a relentless, scripted extortion plan to harass and threaten him with public humiliation. Robert took over the chat whereas Samson Ogoshi scoured Jordan’s social media for associates, household, classmates, academics and anybody else he may discover. He rapidly compiled a collage with Jordan’s intimate picture surrounded by images and social handles of individuals they might ship it to.
“I’ve screenshot all ur followers and tags,” Robert wrote. “Can ship this nudes to everybody and likewise ship your nudes to your Household and associates Till it goes viral. All you have to do is to cooperate with me and I will not expose you.”
Jordan did not reply. The direct messages saved coming.
dani.robertts: “Are you gonna cooperate with me”
dani.robertts: “Simply pay me RN [right now]”
dani.robertts: “And I will not expose you”
Lastly, Jordan wrote again: “How a lot”
dani.robertts: “$1000”
THE INGREDIENTS OF Jordan’s life — small-town athletic stardom, close-knit rural background, recognition and having a gradual girlfriend — seem to have made him the right goal for a brand new form of crime, dubbed “monetary sextortion” by the FBI.
Predators from hundreds of miles away in Nigeria had zeroed in on Jordan as a supply of straightforward cash via web blackmail. ESPN reviewed court docket data, police reviews and former information accounts to look at how loosely organized abroad felony organizations entrap and extort American teenagers with terrifying, excessive and even lethal aggressiveness.
This predatory internet has snared victims from all types of backgrounds. However rising numbers of younger, male athletes are significantly susceptible due to each their elevated social standing regionally and the need to undertaking an ideal picture for potential school recruitment, in accordance with Abbigail Beccaccio, the chief of the FBI’s Youngster Exploitation Operational Unit.
“When you have a look at our numbers and also you have a look at how the dangerous actors are concentrating on victims, your college athletes are going to have a bigger [online] footprint,” Beccaccio mentioned. “It’s going to make them extra susceptible to most of these focused assaults. They’ve extra to lose than one other particular person. … They’re taking a look at being scouted. They’re placing movies of their [highlights] out on social media.”
Since 2021, on-line sextortion has led to tens of hundreds of circumstances and greater than $65 million in losses, in accordance with the FBI. Extra tragically, the Nationwide Middle for Lacking & Exploited Kids reviews, it has led to over three dozen suicides.
And that is simply those they learn about.
Jordan DeMay was now in that form of hazard.
JORDAN RESPONDED THAT he did not have $1,000. He had $355, largely earned from his job at McDonald’s. Clearly determined, he tried to make a deal, sending $300 by way of Apple Pay. the scammers weren’t glad. They demanded $800 extra and utilized most strain with repeated, more and more threatening messages.
“Watch how I make your life depressing,” one learn.
Jordan despatched a screenshot of his funds to point out he was practically tapped out, then supplied his last $55.
“No deal,” Robert, nonetheless posing as Dani Robertts, responded.
The scammers started to brag on the energy they held: “I really like this,” Robert wrote earlier than repeatedly beginning countdowns to sending out the picture. “10 … 9 … 8.”
“Why are you doing this to me?” Jordan requested.
“As a result of it will be your worse night time marrow [nightmare].”
On and on it went.
“I received all I want RN [right now] to make your life depressing dude.”
Jordan pleaded for aid. He appealed to decency.
“I’m begging for personal life,” he wrote.
The Nigerians by no means relented. Ultimately they despatched the collage, together with Jordan’s image, to Jordan’s girlfriend, Kyla Palomaki.
dani.robertts: “I wager your [girlfriend] will depart you for another dude”
dani.robertts: “Simply ready in your [girlfriend] to get the textual content.”
dani.robertts: ” what’s going to occur.”
Kyla was asleep throughout city, unaware of all of it. The Nigerians saved hammering away.
Jordan: “I will likely be useless. Like I need to KMS [kill myself]”
He once more wrote he was out of cash.
dani.robertts: “Okay, then I’ll watch you die a depressing loss of life.”
Jordan: “It is over, you win bro”
dani.robertts: “Okay”
dani.robertts: “Goodbye”
dani.robertts: “Take pleasure in your depressing life”
Jordan: “I am kms rn [killing myself right now]”
Jordan: “bc of you”
dani.robertts: “good”
dani.robertts: “try this quick”
dani.robertts: “Or I am going to make you do it”
dani.robertts: “I swear to God”
In some unspecified time in the future Jordan went upstairs to the kitchen and took a 40-caliber handgun, loaded with hollow-point bullets, out of an unlocked secure above the fridge. He returned downstairs, sat on his mattress and typed out two texts.
One went to his girlfriend: “Kyla, I really like you a lot. I made a mistake and want I may proceed however I can not do that anymore. This was a alternative I made and I have to pay myself.”
Eleven minutes later, he despatched one to his mother, Jenn Buta, who lives close by.
“Mom I really like you.”
Moments later, he took his personal life.
JOHN DEMAY SAID he heard a bang round 3:45 a.m. — about 5 hours after Jordan’s first contact with Dani. As a result of acoustics of the home and missing any cause to assume it could be gunfire, John later mentioned he figured his son had simply knocked one thing over downstairs. John was a former cop and avid hunter, effectively accustomed to the sound of gunfire. The noise did not register with him.
He has wrestled with the firearm being accessible however mentioned somebody decided to die by suicide will discover a approach.
In addition to, he trusted Jordan implicitly. His son was in regards to the happiest, most well-adjusted teen he knew. There had by no means been any psychological well being issues or indicators of despair. “The epitome of the cool child,” Jordan’s stepmother, Jessica, mentioned. The final John had seen of his son, Jordan was excitedly packing for an upcoming household trip to Florida, a welcome respite from the snow and freeze of the lengthy Lake Superior winter.
When silence adopted the sound of the bang, John mentioned he thought it was no massive deal. He fell again to sleep.
Jenn Buta mentioned she woke early at her residence 7 miles away to seek out the message from her son.
They have been exceptionally shut, sharing a love of basketball and procuring and lengthy talks on lengthy drives, particularly to Jordan’s journey tournaments. She would provide classes on life and hoops — look individuals within the eye, maintain the door, shoot the ball! Jordan, in flip, made her hearken to his music — Drake, Submit Malone, Fetty Wap.
They texted all through the day, daily — at the same time as he approached 18. About events. About Kyla. About no matter. He had video known as her the night time earlier than whereas searching for suntan lotion and chilly remedy.
So being greeted by a textual content from her son slightly earlier than 7 a.m. was not stunning.
“I really like you too,” she wrote again. “I hope you bought a very good night time’s sleep.”
Besides Jordan did not textual content again. 5 minutes. Ten. Fifteen. This was uncommon. She grew involved.
“Name it a mom’s instinct, however I knew,” Buta mentioned. “One thing’s incorrect.”
“Are you OK,” she wrote.
No response.
“Jordan?”
It was now virtually 7:30 a.m. Jordan needs to be at college. She texted Kyla, asking if Jordan was there. Kyla wrote again that he wasn’t, and that he wasn’t responding to her texts both.
Buta tried to inform herself to not panic. She texted John asking if Jordan was one way or the other nonetheless at his home. This might be uncommon. Jordan received out the door each morning. He was by no means late. He was self-sufficient.
John went instantly downstairs, whipped open Jordan’s door and flipped on the sunshine. It was a scene no guardian ought to ever see: his son, lifeless, nonetheless sitting up in mattress, gun nonetheless in his proper hand, his crimson iPhone close by.
“You simply knew instantly what occurred,” John mentioned. “It was apparent what occurred. He is received the pistol and the mess from the exit was on the wall.”
He stumbled again upstairs.
“I could not even breathe,” John mentioned. “My spouse thought I used to be having a coronary heart assault. I could not even get it out. I simply mentioned: He shot himself.”
He known as Buta. It was simply 9 minutes after she had texted about their son. She’d been staring on the cellphone, attempting to will it to ship some excellent news: an oversleep, a flat tire, something.
John one way or the other blurted it out.
“He is gone.”
JENN BUTA SAID she would not bear in mind a lot from the following days. She paced backwards and forwards in her home, unable to eat, unable to sleep. “I nonetheless do not sleep,” she mentioned.
The funeral was a large affair, possibly 2,000 mourners, stuffed not simply into the pews of Lake Superior Christian Church however watching on tv in each workplace, hallway or accessible inch of the place. Others merely could not get in. Automobiles stretched up and down State Freeway 553. Mates choked out speeches. Tears have been in all places.
The group measurement was each beautiful, but unsurprising. Jordan was widespread but approachable and self-deprecating. “The All-American child,” Jessica DeMay mentioned. When he received his driver’s license, he proudly purchased an previous, crimson 1994 Dodge Ram with greater than 200,000 miles on it.
“Crank home windows, cassette tape,” his mom mentioned with fun.
“Whole rust bucket,” his father added.
He drove it round prefer it was a Bentley.
He cracked fixed jokes. He impressed by not needing to impress, drew in associates by wanting outward to assist others, led via actions.
He was a well known athlete throughout the Higher Peninsula. He had performed every little thing, together with on journey baseball and basketball groups that might scoop up expertise from tiny, previous lumber and mining cities earlier than heading off to characterize an often-forgotten area. It is the bond of the UP; distance breeding togetherness.
Teammates and even rivals confirmed up at his funeral — typically of their staff jerseys — some coming from greater than two hours away.
His athletic profession had been marred by accidents, however it additionally sparked an curiosity in an actual profession — Jordan deliberate to review to turn out to be a bodily therapist.
It felt like he was simply beginning life. As a substitute, he ended his.
LOWELL LARSON WAS then a detective, however now the undersheriff, for Marquette County. He had been one of many first to reach on the DeMay residence that morning.
“We knew that we had a suicide,” Larson mentioned. “We did not know why he did it.”
Suicides are practically at all times cloaked in confusion. They are not often the results of crimes. Larson mentioned he knew John DeMay from a lifetime of each residing in Marquette — inhabitants simply 21,000, however the greatest metropolis for practically 200 miles. He was pained by the tragedy. He mentioned he did not assume it will turn out to be an investigation although.
Jordan’s cellphone was passcode-locked (state police would later crack it by combining Jordan’s jersey numbers in soccer and basketball). Even when Larson had been in a position to achieve entry, Jordan had deleted the Instagram messages.
“I can not simply write a bunch of search warrants for each loss of life investigation to get all people’s social media for a fishing expedition,” Larson mentioned. “We’ve got to have possible trigger {that a} crime has been dedicated.”
The primary clue got here later that day. A devastated Kyla drove with a good friend to close by Presque Isle Park. It is the place she and Jordan would go after hitting Dunkin’ for an iced espresso or a strawberry dragon fruit refresher. “We had so many conversations, simply sitting on the rocks, watching the solar set,” Kyla mentioned.
Now, she was attempting to make sense of all of it. “I used to be in a state of shock, however I simply saved saying: There is no approach,” Kyla mentioned.
Her cellphone buzzed with messages of condolence. Amid the flood, she opened Instagram and found a direct message from 3:38 a.m. It was from a reputation she did not know — Dani Robertts.
It contained the image of Jordan.
“I instantly knew this was the rationale,” Kyla mentioned.
She went residence and wrote the account again: “what is that this about?”
To Kyla, this was a thriller. To the Nigerians on the opposite finish, this was one other potential alternative.
Regardless of Jordan’s last “kms” messages, they did not but know he was useless. They put collectively screenshots of all of Kyla’s household and commenced bullying Kyla, in accordance with an change that Kyla supplied to Bloomberg and confirmed with ESPN.
dani.robertts: “I swear I’ll destroy his life with this”
Kyla: “He killed himself final night time. Please do not”
dani.robertts: “Would you like me to destroy his life?”
Kyla: “He is gone. No”
Dani: “Would you like me to destroy his life? Sure or no”
Kyla: “He is already ruined. WDYM? [What do you mean?]”
Dani: “He [is] going to be in jail”
Kyla: “HE’S DEAD”
Dani: “And this may go viral”
Kyla: “HE SHOT HIMSELF”
dani.robertts: “Haha. Would you like me to finish this. And delete the pics?”
dani.robertts: “Sure or no…”
dani.robertts: “Cooperate with me and this may finish…”
dani.robertts: “Simply do as I say and all this may finish.”
Kyla went to her mother and father, though that wasn’t straightforward. “It’s embarrassing,” Kyla mentioned. “It is like, ‘Dad, Jordan despatched a unadorned picture to a different woman.’ You do not need your mother and father to assume badly about your boyfriend, who I used to be nonetheless head over heels in love with, regardless that he simply died. It was exhausting for me to even say.”
Phrase rapidly received to Larson, who quickly obtained an emergency order from a Justice of the Peace to compel Meta, the guardian firm of Instagram, to show over data.
Meta despatched over 700 pages, that includes conversations the scammers, posing as Dani Robertts, had performed with over 100 accounts. Larson rapidly realized the conversations have been a part of “a script” utilizing related language and grooming patterns.
“It was virtually the very same textual content,” Larson mentioned. “It was clear they have been doing the identical factor again and again. You discover out what works, and you retain doing it.”
To Larson, this wasn’t a suicide. It was homicide.
META PROVIDED IP ADDRESSES that allowed him to verify he was coping with criminals abroad. That was backed up when he obtained a warrant to look the native newspaper, The Mining Journal, for the IP addresses of anybody who had learn Jordan’s obituary. He suspected that after Kyla informed them Jordan was useless, they’d have sought extra details about it.
“I used to be attempting to place myself within the thoughts of the felony,” Larson mentioned.
4 IP addresses got here again from Nigeria. One among them matched with an tackle from the Dani Robertts account. The FBI would later journey to Nigeria the place, with authorities assist, brokers discovered searches on the Ogoshi pc that included “Michigan suicide” and “Instagram blackmail loss of life.”
Scammers have lengthy used the web to focus on potential victims, particularly the aged. In recent times, they’ve turned their consideration to youngsters.
Considerations about organized sextortion started mounting in 2021, when each the FBI and the Nationwide Middle for Lacking & Exploited Kids, which screens these crimes, started listening to the identical phrases — significantly “destroy your life” — being reported by victims by way of their tip line.
“These crimes had been sexually motivated,” Lauren Coffren of NCMEC mentioned. “However this was totally different. Now they have been financially motivated.”
The crime is widespread, the FBI says, due to its ease and the truth that it’s low cost to determine. Samuel Ogoshi, for instance, made up the “Dani Robertts” account after paying one other Nigerian $4.80 for some photos of an precise woman from a hacked American account, in accordance with court docket data.
“Our victims’ subset actually started to shift,” mentioned Beccaccio of the FBI. “As a substitute of getting a excessive variety of females focused, our male inhabitants between the ages of 14 and 17 actually began to get focused. We additionally discovered that the suicide threat in that inhabitants was additionally a lot larger than that in our conventional sextortion.”
In 2022, NCMEC obtained 10,000 reviews of such incidents. By 2024, it had risen to greater than 30,000. However as a result of victims are reluctant to report, regulation enforcers say the actual numbers are most likely a lot larger.
“We do not know what we do not know,” Coffren mentioned. “And that’s extremely terrifying. There stays a lot stigma and disgrace, particularly round male victimization, which is why they’re concentrating on younger males.”
That underreporting contains potential suicides. Although NCMEC says a minimum of 36 have occurred since 2021, the actual quantity is unknown.
On this case, for instance, if the scammers hadn’t contacted Kyla, there would have been no trigger for a police investigation, and Jordan’s loss of life seemingly would have been simply one other inexplicable suicide.
“It is a guardian’s worst nightmare,” Coffren mentioned. “There’s nothing to look out for. A child can go to mattress of their bed room, and also you won’t see them the subsequent morning.”
THE KNOWN SUICIDES, although, are in all places and persevering with, every as heartbreaking as the subsequent — an unrelenting crime wave in plain sight however with little consideration.
James Woods, 17, a monitor sprinter from Streetsboro, Ohio, died in 2022 after sextortionists wrongly informed him he would go to jail for sending a nude picture. Carter Bremseth, 16, a golfer from Olivia, Minnesota, died in 2021. Riley Basford, 15, of Potsdam, New York, an avid outdoorsman who performed lacrosse and soccer, died in 2021.
Eli Heacock, 16, of Barren County, Kentucky, a monitor and tennis athlete, took his personal life final February. He had been pressured after extortionists used AI to show a clothed image right into a nude earlier than threatening to launch it. Bradyn Bohn, 15, of Kronenwetter, Wisconsin, a baseball participant, died by suicide final March. His last notice included a line referring to his sextortionist: “Be certain he will get caught.”
“We have seen the chats,” Coffren mentioned. “The societal strain, the strain these offenders are placing them beneath, the worry, the disgrace, the guilt, all of that mixes in such a way of urgency and rapidness. It’s relentless. They’re terrifying these children into believing they haven’t any recourse, they haven’t any out. And the children are believing it.”
Maybe most regarding is the velocity. The entire victims died inside 24 hours of preliminary contact, most inside hours, NCMEC reviews.
In 2021, Braden Markus, 15, a soccer participant at Olentangy Excessive College in Ohio, for instance, took his personal life simply 27 minutes after he was first contacted. It took 10 months for his mother and father to entry his cellphone and uncover why.
“There isn’t any superior warning,” John DeMay mentioned. “Somebody got here into my home and murdered my son whereas we have been sleeping.”
“This was pure torture,” Larson mentioned. “They tortured him from 5,200 miles away.”
John DeMay and Jenn Buta say that since they’ve made Jordan’s story public, they’ve heard from lots of, maybe hundreds, of people that have been victims of sextortion at some stage.
“Simply this week I had 4 attain out in a 24-hour interval,” Buta mentioned.
The mother and father’ recommendation for teenagers getting focused is straightforward: Shut off the pc as quickly as a questionable message pops up, stroll away after which go inform a trusted grownup. The criminals are in search of cash, and in the event that they assume an avenue has dried up, they will seemingly transfer on. It is like a fish wiggling off the hook. But when they consider a fish remains to be on the hook, there is no such thing as a quantity of appeasement — or payouts — that may cease them from pushing for extra.
“When you do not have interaction with them, they are going to cease and transfer on,” John mentioned.
In the meantime, NCMEC suggests instantly reporting the account to a social media platform and reaching out to the group’s hotline: 1-800-843-5678. Legal guidelines and insurance policies will help hold the picture off the web.
“We will help,” Coffren mentioned. “We are able to deal with it.”
A slew of latest state legal guidelines — typically pushed into passage by sufferer households — have made sextortion a felony. Legislation enforcers say that since many of the worldwide criminals do not consider anybody will truly take their very own life, they will not truly face felony penalties for what they consider is only a minor monetary crime.
It is why a message needed to be despatched.
MARK TOTTEN BECAME the U.S. lawyer for the Western District of Michigan in Might 2022. He mentioned it was his second day on the job when he was briefed on monetary sextortion. He had had a imprecise consciousness of the idea however was surprised on the sophistication and callousness of the operation.
“You’ll be able to see why that is engaging to fraudsters as a result of this sort of rip-off solely takes hours, typically not that lengthy,” Totten mentioned. “With a senior citizen, it will probably take weeks and months to construct that form of belief.”
He described Jordan’s case as a very powerful prosecution of his tenure. He left the publish final January and is now operating to be Michigan’s lawyer basic.
The important thing was not simply discovering the Ogoshis and Robert. It was charging them and extraditing them to america, which is uncommon.
“There was an actual must create a deterrent in Nigeria and in all places abroad,” Totten mentioned. “We would have liked to make it clear that this was a criminal offense with actual penalties … together with imprisonment in america.”
The FBI’s Beccaccio described native Nigerian regulation enforcers as “nothing however cooperative with us.” It took over a yr, however the Ogoshi brothers have been delivered to america in August 2023 the place they quickly pleaded responsible to conspiracy to sexually exploit a minor. Robert remains to be in Nigeria, combating extradition. 5 American males — one from Alabama and 4 from Georgia — pleaded responsible in April to having helped the scammers launder their extortion cash.
On Sept. 5, 2024, within the U.S. District Court docket in Marquette, full of Jordan’s household and associates, the brothers have been sentenced to 17½ years in jail.
In court docket, the Ogoshis mentioned they seen their extortion operation merely as a small monetary rip-off — to which Totten took sturdy exception.
“There was an utter disregard for human life,” Totten mentioned. “They have been simply casually telling this sufferer that he ought to kill himself if he wasn’t going to pay.”
Locking up the Ogoshi brothers does little to cease the hazard. Samson Ogoshi ominously wrote in a authorized submitting that “blackmail is prevalent in Lagos,” stating he knew of “lots of of individuals [my] age … engaged in related scams.”
It is why Beccaccio notes that “arresting our approach” out of the issue just isn’t possible.
Consciousness, particularly in america amongst potential victims, is the one answer, she and others mentioned.
TIME MOVES ON within the Higher Peninsula, though by no means fairly the identical. Jordan, gone in the course of the night time, won’t ever return.
All that’s left, approach up right here on high of the nation, is to scream out warnings.
The DeMays and Jenn Buta contend that one thing like a serial killer is on the unfastened — worldwide crime rings raiding American properties to blackmail, emotionally torture after which kill American boys — and that nearly nobody is noticing.
John DeMay and Lowell Larson have given displays throughout the nation — together with excessive faculties and regulation enforcement conferences. Buta operates social media accounts to boost consciousness to teenagers and their mother and father, all whereas attempting to boost youthful two daughters of her personal. They reply messages. They foyer politicians.
John and Jessica DeMay by no means spent one other night time in the home the place Jordan died. John, who works in actual property, cleaned and stuck it up (even personally patching the bullet gap within the drywall of Jordan’s bed room) earlier than promoting the place.
Nonetheless, the reminders of Jordan are fixed and crushing.
Within the good climate they like to sit down on their boat — DeMayflower — in Marquette’s Decrease Harbor, subsequent to an previous ore dock that after made this city an industrial energy and now serves as a hauntingly stunning testomony to the area.
But that is additionally the place Jordan, as a center schooler, cherished to leap and spin into Lake Superior. John, in the meantime, thinks about Jordan’s not too long ago handed twenty first birthday and the way they could have celebrated with a day of fishing earlier than hitting a downtown bar for a authorized beer, an at all times highly effective father-son relationship morphing into an grownup friendship.
Largely they surprise what Jordan may have turn out to be, what Jordan would have turn out to be.
“He was going to sort out the world,” John mentioned.
Kyla, in the meantime, will quickly start her senior yr at Northern Michigan, attempting to unfold the phrase as effectively. In one in all her lessons, she made a presentation in regards to the crime that uprooted her life.
“The very first thing I requested the category was: ‘Has anybody heard of sextortion?'” Kyla mentioned.
She was hopeful that her friends have been aware of it, that consciousness was spreading, a minimum of right here in Marquette.
“Just one hand went up.”
