Subject: helloGuys,
This is ****(real name), the creator of homeostatic. I am writing you three out of all the people in this insane shit because I am hoping you'll understand me. You're all smart guys and creators in your own way.
I am a complete wreck right now. Really paranoid so bare with me ok? Since 2 days ago I have been in hiding because of what's happened. My employers think that I have had something to do with leaking information to people on net forums. This is more of a deal than you think because these aren't regular bosses. They are extremely POWERFUL movers who don't normal people like me or you get in their way. I am honestly scared shitless and I am not really sure what I can do at this point except lay low. Somehow somewhere one of my friends must have leaked what I was working on at least one person (Leigh in England guy) published some details. My bosses fucking want my head. And so have been reading a lot the last few hours but stuff is going way too fast with seemingly way too much bullshit for me to understand exactly what is happening. Who exactly have you been contacted from as far as the Russians? I really need to know WHO and WHAT they asked.
I am out the door as soon as I rest an hours. I just feel like I need to lay low to clear my head and decide what is next. But if you guys are generous enough to keep a line of communication open with me I would appreciate it. I am not absolutely sure, but I am pretty sure those girls calling themselves Junsui are putting up a huge front.
Best,

Well, first off, I was one of the people that "discovered" you, and I'm sorry that this is the result. Being a designer myself, I know that it's hard to hide stuff on the 'net once it's out there, especially with things like Google cache and the Internet Archive logging everything in history.
After the discovery and the revelation, I kind of figured this was due to you signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement. I myself have signed many of those in the past, and understand the fear associated with potentially breaching that. But this email sounds to me like you're worried much more than that.
It was not your fault, and I am willing to take responsibility. If you wish for me to talk directly to your superiors in an effort to clear the air and remove any blame you may have, I will be more than happy to do so. Is there any way I can contact them on your behalf?
P.S.: Just for my curiosity, as I'm not sure how much worldly exposure I have myself… How did you get my email address?
Tnx & Rgds…

Hello***,
Thank you for trying to understand my situation. It IS definitely much more than any NDA that I am worried about. I don't blame you personally for outing me, but I do admit that I am now leaving everything I know because of it.
When these guys hired me for the first project a couple years back, it seemed like a great opportunity to do things I always wanted to as a designer. They had very specific briefs, but they let me have a ton creative license during IE and development. They actually trusted my expertise, imagine that! The biggest change though came in my work environment. The money and scheduling allowed me to have an amazing freedom with my lifestyle. These people aren't stuffy bureaucrats. They have large wine estates in Bordeaux and residential compounds in Meguro outside Tokyo. Money is just not an object. Once as a bonus just for turning in a rushed mid review, they sent my girlfriend and I to the Monaco GP with a room at the Metropole and said I could stay there and work for the next week! It wasn't until I quit all my other gigs and went to go work for them full time that I started to have any doubts about what I was getting involved in.
This whole affair with the NSE site is beyond my knowledge. I did the design and production on that project many months ago but none of this crazy shit was in the brief. I have ideas about why they're doing what they are but not exactly sure of the scope (hell I don't even know as much as you guys it seems). All I know is that my former employers are not the type of people who will listen to something as rational as an explanation. While they might have treated me well, I now fully realize that I was always a nobody in their world. To them I'm completely expendable. and that's why I am leaving the country today, possibly to a place where they don't have internet. I fucking want nothing more to do with any of this insanity or evil shit. Besides I have other worries to contend with in my own personal life.
You can relate the basics of this to others. I've decided to close the door on it and never look back. In reference to your e-mail that wasn't hard to find at all. Alfa-Tsentr gave it to me in reference to questions they were asking me. They wanted me to forward all mails related to a long listing of addresses. But I had never written to you so there were no mails to forward.
Thanks for reaching out friend. Take care of yourself.
Best,
