Instead, I found a .pdf copy that also matches one posted on Medium. It matches even down to the immature-seeming notes and annotations put on the document after the fact by someone known as “Brooksie.” Since I didn't pay for this, I can't be 100% sure of its authenticity, but I believe the document to be real. Either that, or both Medium and I are wrong. I, a poor idiot, can be excused; Medium cannot.]

It's signed by a Jeff C. Hsu, who seems to be a real attorney. See: http://mpbf.com/attorneys/hsu_jeff.php the attorney's page.]
