They did it back in the wild west days, and they continue to earn that reputation today. Don't believe us? Okay, but do your own research, I'm not doing it for you.Are they the only security firm to engage in such behaviors? Nope. But they have that earned reputation, and WotC stumbled even just in hiring that firm . . . considering all of the other blunders they were stumbling into at the time.WotC hiring a security firm to harass a YouTuber was an egregiously poor decision, regardless of the specific firm hired. The fact it was the Pinkertons was just bad PR on top of bad mojo.</blockquote>
