Against my thoughts and wishes to make this post in a more public thread, I'm now posting everything here. If possible, I would like this post to be opened up as this is a discussion involving 18+different people and I would like every one of them to be able to post freely. Transparency can only be a good thing for the righteous.
Not even a day before this investigation started, I found myself in an OOC argument with the CWU leads and the MoC Co-lead about filling out an OOC form in relation to my shop's activity level. I refused to comply with varus reasons not relevant to the matter at hand but, what is relevant is the fact that I argued quite heavily back and forth between them both in DMs and on the main Discord in #business-owners chat on 08/19/2021 around 7:00 PM CST. During the argument, varus passive-aggressive statements were made to me along with a threat or two. Over the course of a day or two I believe, I still had disagreements with the CWU lead about other topics regarding shops SOPs. With a hostile OOC environment being created so soon to the start of the investigation, it begs the question if the situation was created out of OOC malice. Seeing how I had no real prior run-in or issue before this point both ICly and OOCly it is at the minimum, suspicious. Especially after the fact you discover that the investigation was all started over as something as little as x5 vinegar and x3 flour. Not to even mention how the first thing you see in the Google Doc is a picture used as BM or how the whole document is written in Comic Sans font.
The entire document of evidence and investigation as a whole is skewed and could only be found suspicious if it were known we were Rebels in the first place, but that's not the case. They knew OOCly we were Rebels and they came in with the intent to uncover us if they found evidence to it or not. They would not take it any other way and the proof is quite clearly within their own evidence against us.
All of my group members have gone through the provided document and made comments in sections highlighting red flags. We also call every witness testimony into question with how they went about finding such information about us as we find it unlikely that they could do so without foul play.
