Scope & limitations
The agreement date is as reported. Annual Part 9 uses its own reporting cutoff, defined by the instructions as the original filing due date; this differs from the actual submission date and the prior calendar-year income period.
The filing is the source’s own disclosure, not independent confirmation of every underlying payment or balance.
The entry does not state the advance, royalties earned, unit sales, buyers or any payment date.
An agreement is not an additional cash receipt. Do not add it to annual publishing income or assign the entire $200,000 publisher payment to this title.
The book agreement does not establish funding of any similarly named political tour or organization.
The publisher separately announced Fight Oligarchy for September 30, 2025 digital release and October 21, 2025 paperback release. That published title differs from the literal filing title retained here. This is not a newly discovered book, and title similarity alone does not establish the exact contract or payment allocation.
