  On March 28, 2024, Inner City Press live tweeted his sentencing, to 25 years.

  On November 20 Inner City Press live "skeeted" on Bluesky here (it remains blocked from its main X account, having inquired with "chief of product" Nikita Bier) - Sassoon said she had made it clear, no deal beyond the four corners.
