The people in this group chat were all top-tier gossip accounts in the industry. Theirs was a mutually beneficial relationship: Justin Locke provided the material, and they were responsible for the exposé, driving traffic to their own accounts.
A seventy-thirty split meant the person who provided the dirt got seventy percent, and the person who published the leaks got thirty.
The fact that Boss Locke was willing to offer a bigger cut meant someone at Starmaker Entertainment had crossed him.
Justin Locke quickly sent the data package to these people, requesting that they not publish the articles until after midnight.
Most people would be off work by then, so even if they tried to do damage control, they'd be overwhelmed. After letting the story blow up overnight, he'd hit that scumbag Fulton with something even bigger tomorrow.
