Yeah seriously. This is some wannabe mafia shit. Spiders? Funeral wreath? Tracking their car?

For real! I was like, “oh, they probably got some emails and calls that were a bit abrasive”

Wow, was I wrong!! Not only are these executives some real snowflakes, but they’re also psychopaths. Shit, i hope they don’t read this message, lest a fetal pig be delivered to my door 👀

Thank you! Surprised the report didn’t mention that (I was too lazy to do a search).

Two have been jailed. Cooke for 18m and Baugh for 5y. There is a third named person that has not been charged but was fired.
