Hello Isaac,

Thank's a lot for your message. The affiliate I belong to has already
requested more details on that sanction. However, from the information
already provided, it is directly related to an AffCom resolution dating
back from 8 April 2018, without any relation to me.

For the moment I am not requesting anything to AffCom, as AffCom has not
even had the decency of informing me of the sanction, and I had to know
about it by 3rd parties in a very embarrassing and outrageous situation.
Also, after several situations where the AffCom was caught distorting the
truth, when not blatantly lying, as it is now, always failing to
substantiate their accusations when requested, I do not deem it to be a
trustworthy body - and the fact that AffCom was left unchecked and
unaccountable for years, even empowered to decide itself its own members,
certainly is not alien to this state of affairs. So I'm not presuming good
faith on AFfCom as well, and I'm requesting a formal investigation on this
and former similar situations involving AffCom.

I do not care much about the sanction itself, though it is quite annoying,
especially to my affiliate, but the fact that it was decided in secrecy,
and its blatant fraudulent nature, with false accusations involving my
person, is quite enraging and outrageous.

Best,
Paulo
