Mentioned it
“We wanted everybody to have a safety deposit box in the vault that they could use dynamically according to their needs. So obviously in a moment of crisis, you break the glass, you have access to all of it. But we wanted to build a tool that we lent to — it's fully independent — and it's operated by a fantastic executive chairman who's a veteran of the department of war who's spent his entire career focused on supply chain issues.”
