– I called the judge just a couple of hours later, I apologized – he accepted them. I want to apologize again – a very ugly act on my part. There are no excuses. It was said with emotion.

As for the submission of this episode to the FTC, then there is no comment. I understand that I did wrong and acted ugly. It was on emotions, as it was a shame to lose.
