I don&#8217;t want to be linked to these people, neither their projects: I saved the day, I got the money and that is all I want&#8230; their project will probably crush on the long term due to cultural issues and I don&#8217;t want to be linked with that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
