Man. Monster comment thread on Colin’s last Insta post. So much Colin hate and calls to his sponsors to cancel him.
Allied bikes and Specialized have dropped his sponsorship.
Still no actions from Red Bull, Rapha, Enve, The Meteor Cafe.
Velo News - Sponsors cut ties with Colin Strickland in wake of Moriah Wilson murder case
If that’s the case, the feds are gonna be all up in his shit. That’s what you call a straw purchase.Quote:

He was probably shitting his pants scared and wanted to make sure the cops knew the murder weapon was the gun he gave to her and not really his gun. Saying he had two guns and she stole one might have been better, or might have looked even more weird..Quote:

Is that what you were doing when you were speculating about soap opera-like twists and turns? Was that your way of "wait and see how it plays out" or your way of supporting the folks that lost someone dear to them? Are you bi-polar or do you just say whatever fleeting thought runs through your head without regard to what you may have said previously?Quote:

Until I walked it back after getting called on it and agreed that we already know what we need to know..Quote:

Enve: "After speaking with Colin, we’ve mutually agreed to end the contract and partnership"
Meteor Cafe: "as of today, the Meteor and Colin Strickland have parted ways, and he is no longer affiliated with our brand.
Redbull is the only one left..... VeloNews received an email from a senior communications manager that read, “thank you for reaching out. This is a matter for the authorities,” and the company refused further comment.
She’s innocent! According to Dad. Not my little angel. https://goodwordnews.com/the-father-...on-speaks-out/
That’s why she’s on the run. She flew to NYC apparently.
Unclear why cops weren’t tailing her when they had to let her go on the expired warrant.

I’ve been reading up a little on fugitive strategies and capture rates. Sounds like her chances might be ok if she doesn’t commit anymore crimes and keeps a very low profile. Moving to a big city like NY is probably a good move. Also looks like law enforcement resources are limited for all the fugitives out there.
But in todays connected world it’s gotta hard to drop off the radar vs the 1980’s. Somehow she’s gotta establish new identification and grow out a new life from life. Not that I’m rooting for her!

Where's the background checks and due diligence?Quote:

Big corps have figured out how to do background checks of social media, it's not rocket science. It's outsourced because it's such a commodity.
Maybe these contracts are on the low end, and it's not worth it.
