Re: AFE Communications
Jim, I need to follow up with an important detail.
I respectfully request that the tax documentation and all future communications from AFE be sent to me via email, and not through the U.S. postal service, UPS, FedEx, or other means of hard copy delivery.
I will confirm email receipt promptly.
This is a security precaution, and I appreciate your honoring this request.
Thank you very much,
Lane MacWilliams

Re: AFE Communications
Jim, this is a quick reminder that I have requested emailed delivery only of tax documentation regarding the sale of AFE shares.
Again, due to security measures required of me at this time, I request that AFE not utilize U.S. postal service, UPS, FedEx, or other means of hard copy delivery of tax documentation.
All communications from AFE now and in the future should be extended by email only.
I ask that you convey this request to all AFE personnel in ensuring that my security be adequately safeguarded at this time.
I have not yet received emailed tax documentation of my sale of AFE shares, but I would appreciate your forwarding this electronic communication to me at your earliest possible convenience.
Thank you very much for your support in this matter,
Lane MacWilliams

Re: AFE Communications
Lane,
I received your request. Our attorneys are reviewing the legality of the request. The federal government has regulations for corporations to follow. Nothing has been sent in any manner yet. The document is not expected until 1/31.
I did inform the CPA and Attorney of your request. I don't think it will be a problem.
Jim

Re: Lane MacWilliams' Consent to Receive AFE's 1099-B Electronically; Preceding Statement Requirements of AFE
Jim, as you can see from the IRS information below, form 1099-B is allowed to be furnished electronically. In order to do so, AFE needs to comply with the requirements listed here from "Electronic Recipient Statements" on p. 17 of the IRS publication "2022 General Instructions for Certain Information Returns." https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-
This email constitutes my formal consent to receive there 1099-B in electronic format from AFE.
Please provide me with an email by 5:00 p.m. on January 27, 2023, including all statements which must precede the provision of the 1099-B via email. These requirements are delineated below in detail.
Again, I ask that all communications from AFE take place through email and not through U.S. postal service, UPS, FedEx or other hard copy delivery address.
This is a security measure that is necessary due to my stance as a whistleblower of FBI engagement in knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting on a broad scale through the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative and the agency's affiliated "target of interest" program.
Please be apprised that I am aware of AFE's signatory status to Infragard, the civilian arm of the FBI.
Due to the fact that far right segments of the FBI have recently appeared to tamper with mail sent to me from those signatory to Infragard, and to do so in a manner intended to falsely implicate me of wrongdoing, I am unable to accept any hard copy documents sent to me from AFE.
If any form of harm were to befall my family or me due to AFE's failure to honor my request for electronic communications only, please understand that the liabilities for AFE, including specific AFE personnel and their FBI handlers, would be extensive.
Let's avoid that possibility, please, by ensuring that AFE honors my request to receive the 1099-B electronically, and further honors my request to receive all statements which must precede AFE's electronic provision of the 1099-B also in electronic format no later than January 27, 2023.
Please be aware that this communication will be shared with the Investigations Division of the Office of the Inspector General Hotline of the U.S. Department of Justice.
I appreciate AFE's cooperation in this important matter, Jim.
Sincerely,
Lane MacWilliams
