HBRK Associates Inc. was in communication with Apple Business regarding a potential order for Apple Watches in Europe [1] [2] [3]. The company was introduced to the Apple Business team by Martin O'Brien, Apple Business UES, and was working with Lesley Groff, Rich Kahn, and Bella Klein to place the order [3] [4]. The order was for shipment to various addresses, and the team at HBRK Associates was trying to determine the best way to complete the purchase, considering the lack of a French credit card and the potential for the watches to not fully function in France [5] [6]. Lesley Groff suggested using Jeffrey's French address for invoicing and shipment [2]. The team at HBRK Associates was considering alternative payment methods, such as providing a check for the total or buying the watches in the US and shipping them to France, despite the potential functionality issues [5] [6]. The communication took place in December 2018, with emails exchanged between December 3 and December 6, 2018 [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6].
