Did Team Internet Group sell a subsidiary or something in the last 12 months? They’ve had a decrease of almost 40% of their DUM over that time?!…
Andrew Allemann says

No, I put the wrong number for last year. I’ll have to check on it and update it later. Sorry about that.
NicTraders says

No worries! Thanks.
Andrew Allemann says

I updated the number. They did have a substantial drop at Key-Systems (about 500k) names. That’s a reseller platform so maybe one company left or got its own accreditation. I’ll look into it.
NicTraders says

Thanks Andrew!
