"For me this cooperation was absolute waste of money as I asked for specific things and was said that it was possible. However the result was rather generic: a tax optimization technique which I've seen online a lot of times and not what I've needed and asked at all. Moreover it can't help me at all which I stated in the initial job description and private conversation with Allen. The communication was not very friendly but prompt enough."
