Mr. Chair, if I may, I'd like to remind the committee that this group of fundraisers, and this fundraiser as a whole, was—and I believe we can all agree—an unprecedented event, in terms of the scale in which it evolved, the pace at which it evolved, the centralized nature of it and the complexity of the participants who were involved in the fundraiser.
When the fundraiser was created on our platform, as Ms. Wilford said, we were focused on KYC and understanding the fundraiser organizer herself—that individual. Over time, we began doing more extensive analyses on additional parties. It is sometimes not necessarily within our purview everything that anyone has ever commented on in social media and in their lives. Based on the information accessible to us at that time, in that portion of January, the fundraiser was within our terms of service. As a result, we deemed it—based on the information that Ms. Wilford also outlined—sufficient to be able to disburse those funds.
Of course, subsequent to that, things immediately and very rapidly changed. Communication changed. Information on the facts changed. The convoy itself changed. We responded to those changes, and we believe that was the appropriate action.
