Here's how to use the code:
Block and copy the code from the word "begin" to the word "end." Paste into WordPad and save as a text file.
Go to this website: http://www.webutils.pl/index.php?idx=uu
Browse to your saved text file and hit the decode button. The online program will tell you the file is too big to display, but you can hit the save button to save it. It will save as a PDF file.
The resulting file is a 2-page letter from the SEC to:
Justin Bailey, Chief Executive Officer Fig Publishing, Inc. 715 Bryant St. Suite 202 San Francisco, CA 94107
The letter is about a stock offering.

Added explanation: uuencode and uudecode are old programs to encode and decode binary files for posting on Usenet newsgroups. Back in the days before automated software, such as NewsRover, one had to download all the parts of a file, put them together manually, and then run uudecode on the saved file. Usenet only allows plain text, and there is a size limit to messages. That's why the code is seemingly random ASCII characters and is broken in parts for larger files.

Thanks!

Looks like it might be a base 64 mime encoding. Look up Base64 decoders, should convert the bits back into a binary.

It is not base64. It's uuencoded mail message.

This is in that building suit 301. No idea what it is or means, but it is interesting. https://opengovus.com/new-york-state-corporation/4729804

There's a PDF file attachment. It's a uuencoded message (like for Usenet groups). These are to send binary files as plaintext.
begin 644 (some file name) . (file ext) is the dead giveaway.
You can use uudecode on a linux system. install/update sharutils (apt-get install sharutils or yum or whatever your packman prog is) if you don't have uudecode (should be included in sharutils--might have to add a repo)
I'll encode the PDF and post it on my twitter or youtube.

Have you tried opening the block of text as a JPG? It kind of looks like what an image looks like if you change the file extension to TXT and open it. Not the entire thing. - AFTER the file name, and before “end”
Just a thought.

It's uuencoded.. there are plenty of websites that will decode it, as well as programs.. it used to be very common on newsgroups. Actually probably still is.. it's a PDF file..
[–] 17281676? ago
it says it's a pdf...
[–] 17288121? ago
yes, a pdf encoded with uuencode

While this search result is a coincidence, Fig is part of the swamp. They came up during Gamergate.

Looks like an SEC report with an embedded PDF doc.

I don't know why a search result pulled this up. Fig Publishing is a video game publish..ing...company... Wait, "Shall we play a game"?
Too crazy?

Kek who knows...maybe you're indeed onto something.
