Guys, this is mostly me paraphrasing, and I tried to get as much of it as I could. I tried to quote where I could, but they were moving fast. Enjoy
MJ - how did you end up doing this book?
Cady - When Powell showed up at the IBJ with her bag full of journals, they decided it was worth looking into, and they sought someone with the experience to do it, so my name came up.
MJ - when you first met with her, how long did it take to determine if the story was credible
Cady - when i firs tmet with her, I had already read her journals twice, so I felt there was something to it.
MJ - Are you 100% sure her story is true
Cady - I'm a 100% sure in my mind. It is accurate.
MJ - What are the things that aren't in the book?
Cady - I'm not sure what she's talking about, or anyone else. The book had limited scope, but we did leave some of the journal entries out. All the text messages that we had access to are in there, but said he believes there's text messages from other phones (McGee's) that do exist.
Cady - Every bit of info that confirms what's in the book is important (referencing JaQuan Lyle statements that the story is true).
MJ - What did you do to ensure that, that was in fact Andre McGee's phone #?
Cady - IBJ hired forensic analyst to go through and examine every phone # and date, and they turned over a rather lengthy report revealing some very detailed information.
MJ - so you actually took her physical phone?
Cady - Yes
MJ - I've seen her quoted as saying, "Rick Pitino knew about this". Do you have any factual basis to believe this.
Cady - If she said that, she is speculating based on the things McGee told her. She has no evidence of that, and I'm not sure that is true.
MJ - There are ppl on the UL side poking holes in this story. Asks about recreating the texts. What does that mean?
Cady - It's not a big deal. They were shown as text messages ... Not clear on this part.
Cady - She will eventually talk to the NCAA.
MJ - She won't avoid the NCAA?
Cady - I have no reason to believe she will avoid them, but right now is not the best time due to the atmosphere. Says some people are (paraphrasing) in too deep of denial that such a thing would happen.
MJ - Asks about IBJ creating the LLC. Is it relevant.
Cady - It is irrelevant
MJ - You feel 100% sure that the core of that book is true?
Cady - "ABSOLUTELY"
MJ - When you went to the former FBI folks, did you find or did they find anything in that process that you determined she had made up?
Cady - "Not a single instance"
MJ - Will it be available in hard cover?
Cady - Yes, next week.
