EB, you said your source told you my passport was in the process of renewal and I "should get it anytime soon." Blatant lie. Maybe your source was referring to a different Cherno, not me. My passport is still in my possession; renewal is due in three months time. Your source telling you my passport is being processed for renewal is simply mind-boggling earnestness. Hopefully, you are not manufacturing up a "source".
