OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM 'FOLLOWER' MEMEBERS:
Dear Halo Community,
Today we'll be uncovering the scandal that has been surrounding Follower Interactive and Chris.
Back in December, Christian (the founder of Follower) decided that he wanted to return to folower as CEO despite his absence for almost a year. In his absence for a year, Follower grew by 400%, gainig sponsors that we had never had before. All of this happened under the leadership of Zach Denton, who Chris had appointed as CEO when he left.
When Chris returned, he essentially left Zach with no other option but to leave Follower due to significantly unacceptable malpractices. All of this despite the continued growth (which Follower still benefits from today), saying that he (Chris) would take over full control of Follower and start making regular content. For any of you long time subscribers, I'm sure this is horrible to hear.
Chris had made a contract for Zach giving him a large percentage of the company for being in charge and growing Follower for a full year. When Zach saw no other option but to dissociate himself from this scam-in-progress, Chris refused to give Zach his rightful percenage of the company, showing that the contact was in fact FAKE. Chris had conned Zach into a contract that gave him false security. What made this even worse was that Chris was not just conning Zach but all the members in the company. Chris didn't allow anyone to manage pay but himself, and had sole control over any PayPal business account, paying people himself. To put it simply, Chris stole the money of his employees, telling them fake percentage rates, and pocketing their hard earned money, stealing potentially tens of thousands of dollars off of owed employee pay, however, we presume he will deny this vigorously.
Its's easy to say here that Chris just made some calculation errors and that gifuring out accounting is hard, but an independent contractor named Seth was working on an automated tool which would allow producers and writers to manage and share projects internally, and management to automate payments. This system was named the Follower Interactive Management System (FIMS). Chris refused to give Seth special developer access tokens/keys which would allow him to progress development of administrative features, the most important of which being automated and truly fair payments. Seth has had to ask for months to acquire these access keys so FIMS could actually be continued, but he continued refusing to cooperate unless Seth handed over the rights to FIMS. If Seth handed it over, Chris planned on just using it to launder money even further, and when Seth made an official contract for Chris to ensure he was paid appropriately, Chris and his sister (the new "HR" of the team) told him he was essentially useless.
