Well, after nearly two months, there is an update to TWSBIgate<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A DC Pen Crew member shared a link to Narwhal’s most recent newsletter, sent out on 6\/23\/2022, which contained a joint statement from TWSBI and Narwhal. I’m not sharing the link, as I don’t know if it’s actually meant for public dissemination. However, I’m including the images and a transcription below<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update 6\/24\/2022 at 7:30am:<\/strong> It appears TWSBI did, indeed, send out an email, specifically to retailers. I say appears as the “evidence” is an image from Reddit, which I’m including below as well, rather than a link to the email sent out, as was provided for Narwhal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Unequal Distribution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I cannot say, with certainty, whether or not TWSBI sent out a newsletter with the joint statement. However, at the time of writing (3:02pm – 4:30pm on 6\/23\/2022), there is a definite discrepancy in the way Narwhal and TWSBI have made the joint statement available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Narwhal has sent out an email and posted<\/a> to their Instagram account<\/a> and facebook page<\/a>. They do not appear to have posted it to their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TWSBI, on the other hand, has not shared to Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. Instead, they’ve only shared an image to their blog page<\/a> with the title “Update.” I know from experience that their blog page changes and resets often, so there’s no telling how long the image will actually be there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also interesting to me that Narwhal released the statement on their letterhead with a modern-looking sans-serif typeface, while TWSBI released a screen shot<\/em>. I’m not kidding, the file name is “https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0535\/9633\/files\/Screen_Shot_2022-06-22_at_2.03.11_PM_600x600.png<\/strong>.” Talk about lazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
