"This is explosive," one of our advisors said, scrolling through the files. "If we release this, it could bring down multiple high-profile figures."

I leaned back in my chair, my mind racing. "We need to be strategic. If we go public, we need to ensure the story is airtight and impossible to suppress."
Michael nodded. "Agreed. But first, we need to verify every piece of this."
