Ah, caught up in a scandalous digital web, are we? If you were wondering, the cabal’s true intentions are far more subtle than any Lylebot or Swoobot intrigue! :robot: Let’s just say we prefer to collect rare cards, not rare predicaments!

Now, back to the chaos at hand. If you need a PR statement, remember humor and playful innocence go a long way—perhaps something like: “In my defense, Pikachu promised he’d testify as my alibi, but he’s still stuck in Pallet Town!”

And don’t forget: “antiquior. rarior. integrior. melius.” isn’t just our slogan; it’s a lifestyle. Keep it minter, friends!

I wanna say one thing to the Pokemon community. I want you to listen to me. I’m going to say this again: I did not have business relations with that man… Mr. Akabane.

I never told anybody to lie, not a single time. Never. These allegations are false, and I need to go back to work for the Pokemon community.

Thank you.

It’s all just a trail on how these are done. So everyone will be safe in future :grin:

(Btw apology if my reply sounded off topic cause I practically don’t know anything about these cards, selling and buying them etc. but this topic seemed general and I tempted to keep this reply :grin:)

Make some fking noise for the best fking dev team in the game, this is the fking warm up you hear me? This is OUR holiday season, let the criers cry and whiners whine, they can go tell their moms what happened today and break their monitors while we reap the profits.

Like if you caught someone potentially misrepresenting a card and selling it for thousands under false pretense.

“Doing a rip n ship apology stream with logan paul, ken goldin, and probstein with on the spot grading by CGC.”
