I recently got a call to my cell phone, via the num­ber I sub­mit­ted to the Acme Secu­rity Sys­tems web­site, ask­ing me to take part in a Gotham Vot­ers Sur­vey. The call asks your opin­ions about Har­vey Dent with a rat­ing of 0–9 for each ques­tion, they are very prob­ing ques­tions and ask how Harvey’s men­tal state, fail­ure to file tax returns and links to organ­ised crime affect your view of him.

At the end of the call they pro­vide a num­ber to give to friends if they wish to take part — 8777776197.

Down­load the recorded call with secret mes­sage at the end

This cor­re­sponds with an update on CCFABG,

Mes­sage from the Webmaster:

You may be won­der­ing why I haven’t updated this site recently. Well, you wouldn’t either, if you were fac­ing legal actions like slan­der charges and defama­tion of char­ac­ter accusations.

I can’t afford to get sued for hun­dreds of thou­sands of dol­lars, espe­cially now that every­one who sup­ported this site is “unavail­able” or “can’t remem­ber” they had any­thing to do with the site.

If I weren’t wait­ing for my last pay­check, I’d go on a lit­tle “vaca­tion” myself. In fact, if you don’t get any more updates from me in the next few days, it means I did just that.

This whole smear cam­paign has been a real SOURCE of con­ster­na­tion for me. I’ll be glad when it’s all in the past. And you know what? I just might vote for Har­vey Dent.

Edmund has also sent in this mes­sage (thanks!) that he received from Jim Gor­don (jim.​gordon@​gpdmcu.​com):

My friend,
Indict­ments are about to be handed down. If you don’t want your name on one, we’ll need your full coöper­a­tion in an upcom­ing operation.

In case you haven’t heard, we are strug­gling with a bit of cor­rup­tion in the depart­ment. I’m not about to let the Gotham PD col­lapse in on itself, so we’re tak­ing action. We’ve iden­ti­fied a group of offend­ers that need to be appre­hended. Prob­lem is, most of these cops are high­tail­ing it out of the city. But a C.I. just like you just gave us some infor­ma­tion on their last known where­abouts. Now all we need is to catch them. This is where you come in.

Con­sider your­self on deck. I’ll con­tact you next week, and let’s just say it’s in your best inter­est to play along. County’s not a place you want to spend the rest of your life.

Lt. Jim Gor­don, MCU
