this assumption is invalid.

then that needs to be sorted, because there are in fact two separate payments,
and we are (effectively) lying - very publicly - about who has received what.

can you please revert that change because it is a PUBLIC declaration,
"this is a totally non-existent totally separate person, who has NEVER
received the funds".

given that NLnet use the CSV files to compare against their records,
and that NLnet (and we) are under Audit conditions it is EXTREMELY
serious and effectively a false declaration.
