Hey Sloan, I would also like to express my gratitude for your detailed reporting and I look forward to reading more of your copy on the subject as it is quite a gripping tale.
I must say, I'm a bit torn -- I was a big fan of the old Aero and then a big fan of the new (old-old) Aero but I was also a fan of Alexander Leathers, and I have great jackets from all of them. When I discovered Aero all those years ago it was the old management at the helm, and I had nothing but positive experiences with them. I stayed out of the whole storse saga simply because I -- forgive the pun -- had no horse in that particular race. As more and more information comes out about what looks increasingly like thievery and deception, I can't help but wonder what this all means for Alexander Leathers. I wonder why, if it was just one person, one manager, doing something wrong, so many employees would stick together in what appeared to be a clear sign of loyalty and solidarity as they set off and started their own company. There are a lot of questions still open that we'll probably never hear the answers to. It just makes me wonder ... Did no one know what Will was apparently up to? Were they all in cahoots? Did any of the old Aero/new Alexander gang come to his defence?
I'm thinking this would make a great miniseries -- A jaded alcoholic Selkirkshire detective investigates the dodgy activities of an enigmatic leather company boss ... with David Tennant or, better yet, Iain Glen in the lead role as the inspector with the troubled past ... and financially crippling leather jacket addiction.
