I thought we were waiting for the trademark to go through so we could legit slam them with a C&D, but I’m not 100% sure on that.

Use proceeds to fund the FBM - Endpoint Red Hook team. Hire some fast dude to race on possibly upcoming TAF musa tarck racer. Sell lots of frames. Put them out of business.
