- [2026-08-18 22:41:29 - 2026-08-18 22:41:37] **Unknown:** Yeah. Yeah. Because yesterday you said to me that he hasn't got that much money after all. Maybe he's not with Ali.
- [2026-08-18 22:41:40 - 2026-08-18 22:41:44] **Reza:** He hasn't got that much money before. Before he had loads.
- [2026-08-18 22:41:44 - 2026-08-18 22:41:50] **Unknown:** But he's still capable to pay £80,000. I'm not worried about it too much.

- [2026-08-18 22:42:39 - 2026-08-18 22:42:41] **Reza:** didn't have that problem
- [2026-08-18 22:42:41 - 2026-08-18 22:42:41] **Reza:** of the

- [2026-08-18 22:43:10 - 2026-08-18 22:43:13] **Behnam:** Maybe, but it may be a big deal,
- [2026-08-18 22:43:13 - 2026-08-18 22:43:15] **Behnam:** or it may be not as big a deal as we worried.

- [2026-08-18 22:43:45 - 2026-08-18 22:43:48] **Behnam:** Because contractually, we never signed to take that on.
- [2026-08-18 22:43:48 - 2026-08-18 22:43:52] **Behnam:** The contract was ripped off, you know, the old one, so.
- [2026-08-18 22:43:55 - 2026-08-18 22:43:57] **Reza:** Otherwise, he would have taken us to court.
