Our offices are being searched by law enforcement officers. Do
not obstruct the search. The officers have a legal right to certain
items and documents related to the warrant.
We are complying with the warrant. You should be cooperative
and assist law enforcement in locating relevant files. However,
please do not "consent" to any search or sign any
documents on behalf of the company.
For example, if an officer asks where documents are located,

how the documents were created or what they mean, you are under no
obligation to answer. Merely show the officer the documents without
comment.
Please refrain from using social media (Twitter, Facebook,
etc.) to disseminate any information about law enforcement's
presence at our Company.
Any questions from the press should be immediately referred to

about this matter."
Law enforcement officers may ask you to answer their questions.

If you do grant an interview to the investigating officers,
anything you say can be used against you in a criminal prosecution
or in a civil enforcement proceeding. If you decide to be
interviewed please inform the agents of the company's request
for its lawyers to be present.
