1. Response to backlash from CEO Brandon Howard

Howard denied that his comments were abusive or aggressive, and said they weren’t enough to justify receiving thousands of phone calls, emails, texts, spam signups, and death threats.

“I’ve already apologized for the original comment but it just seems like it’s a huge joke for these ‘influencers” who have no idea what it’s like to actually create economic value yet throw a huge negative media storm to make somebody elses’ life worse,” he added.

“Never would I set out to negatively impact the ability for somebody else to feed their family, pay bills or damage something they have worked years and years towards not to mention the several hundred thousand dollars being risked.”
