Do you care to disclose your relation to the leadership of Bricks and Minifigs? Did you go to the same university as those involved from the company? Are you affiliated with any of the same organizations?
No affiliation, other than being a fan of building bricks in general, and making a couple small purchases from one of their franchises (not in Portland, OR).
Is there value to copy/pasting a Press Release that is known false?
How does this lead to interesting discussion?
Is it right to just parrot lies? Because B&M is very clearly lying in these statements, knowingly so. The CEO himself is part of this and is on camera talking to the people in this situation demonstrating that he knows there was a consignment agreement and they refuse to respect a matter of extremely clear law. There is literally video of the new franchise owner and a person from corporate saying "We will take over the consignment"
I believe people have a duty to not just thoughtlessly repeat things like this. I feel it is a serious issue on this site specifically, that people think it's valid to copy/paste known falsehoods, whether they themselves knew about it, and then defend the act when faced with evidence that they parroted known falsehoods.
Shouldn't you have taken any effort to ensure you were relaying good or accurate information?
