the response I got was 1). in writing and 2. from their corporate headquarters marketing department and stated there was no association in terms of manufacturing, marketing, distribution with Koch Brothers or ANY Koch Brothers-associated intermediary/affiliate.

Are they lying? Well, I find it hard to believe they would put out something OFFICIAL and in writing that they know could come back to bite them, if it were not true.

If you find out otherwise, I hope you will let me know, because I WILL forward the correspondence to WSJ or other media watchdogs.
