    Doesn't anyone else think that the interview with JAQ, with references to Superkid (yeah yeah) and her seeming to walk in a fairy dairy land, might lead you to conclude that she and her yankee backers would have no compunction about bringing Hex on board?

    Not that I'm as bothered as those with more up to date morals than me. But maybe this sponsorship (after I've got my memento shirt) is a step too far.

    So I make it about £2k.

    All done to try to illustrate the perceived success of investing in Hex and trapping a new breed of desperate investor to their scheme.

    Yep, a loss leader designed to pull people in. The bizarre comments from those donating show what's happening here. Most people would write something like "A great cause, good luck" or similar. Why mention hex at all, if you're genuinely donating to a cause you believe in?

    It is a very generous amount being donated. But somewhere along the line, it's still ill-gotten gains eventually that's someone at the bottom of the pyramid could lose everything they own.

    I don't think she will either. But yeh I'm sure she has reached out to contacts etc. I imagine the kid ain't feeling so super right now. I imagine he's hexing his bets. (Sorry)

    I prefer the hexibottoms when they're being nasty and abusive. The passive-aggression when they're attempting to be generous and nice is genuinely frightening. It's like stepford wives or invasion of the body snatchers. They're definitely not human.

    This is the tricky part- that account that’s been abusive about gay people is said to be the person behind the sponsorship, but it’s just a twitter handle - could be anyone.

    I’ve stopped looking at BFC updates or topics on twitter now, absolutely pointless with the Jim Jones coolaid chugging hexicans all up in our face.

    But the founder of hex posted this (below) from his verified account. It's irrefutable that he is associated with hex and it is allegedly homophobic so the club could definitely state Twitter accounts associated with our sponsor without fear of reproach. If any other homophobic tweeters assumed it was about then that says more about them than anyone else.

    Yes you are right, he’s using the word “gay” as a term of abuse on a public platform, and he obviously is the public face of hex so….

    How many more shares does chien Lee need to buy to get Conway back in? Maybe he wasn't doing such a bad job after all

    She might have ratified the thing. I know you are desperate for it to be Khaled and will probably show some sort of quote.

    You don't think the commercial director Andrew Clark hasn't had any input in this then? All I keep seeing is Khaled getting hammered but surely the commercial director was involved...

    He probably did but I know who has ultimate sign-off. Unless he’s slopey-shouldered this decision as well.
