 		Summary of clip 5 of 9:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Gary Troup alleges that even within the Hanso Foundation, the Valenzetti Equation is one of the most closely-guarded secrets. At every turn, Alvar Hanso and the Foundation tried to stop Troup from writing The Valenzetti Equation; for whatever reason, they want to keep Valenzetti and his work a secret, especially from the public. The Hanso Foundation promotes itself as... and then the clip runs out.


But he's really here to talk about Bad Twin, you know. People ought to cut the man some slack. ;)

 		transcripts of interview clips
The first 3 clips were transcribed in an above post. Here are clips four, five, and six transcribed below. Each clip begins with the same countdown 'slate':

GT: And allegedly, now I emphasis 'allegedly', Alvar Hanso bought up all of the available copies, and he bought the rights to reprint.
LG: Why would he do that?
GT: That's a good question.
LG: Your book was critical of him?
GT: No, but as I was doing my research, I discovered that Alvar Hanso is the only guy in the world who has an actual copy of "The Valenzetti Equation". Now, despite repeated requests, I was categorically denied access to it. In fact, no one outside the Hanso Foundation has access to it.
LG: And what about inside the Hanso Foundation?
GT: From what I've been able to learn, even within the--

GT: From what I've been able to learn, even within the Hanso Foundation, the Valenzetti equation is one of the most closely guarded secrets.
LG: That must have made it hard for you to write the book.
GT: Beyond that, look, at every turn, Alvar Hanso and the Hanso Foundation they tried to stop me from writing it. I mean, for whatever reason, they wanted to keep Valenzetti and his work a secret. They don't want the public to know anything about it. You know what? We're here to talk about "Bad Twin".
LG: Sounds like you've got your next piece of non-fiction in the works here.
GT: Look, The Hanso Foundation promotes itself as--

GT: The Hanso Foundation promotes itself as bettering humanity. And that's all I'm gonna say about it right now, because I am going to be writing a book about this. And I'll tell you this, as soon as people find out what's going on inside this huge, famous, supposedly benevolent Foundation, you know, it's gonna shock you.
LG: Tell me about Cindy.
GT: (laughs shyly): This isn't gonna air until after the book's published, right?
LG: That's right.
GT: Alright, well, I'm an inveterate bachelor. I never even thought about coming close--

 		A fun exercize, I just put "Bad Twin" into the eBay search box and selected their Books category.
23 items found for "bad twin" in Books
Some of those will expire within the next 24 hours, more will surely take their place.

As for "peterHthompson" and his charity, I can't be sure. MissionFish appears to be a legitimate partner for organizations raising money thru eBay, and NamasteDirect appears to be certified just as is claimed. Perhaps a real charity taking advantage of the publicity they could be feeling from their name?
