Fake Instagram account
Someone has just started a fake Instagram account under the Paceline nee Serotta name. It has some ugly stuff in just a short time. We have nothing to do with it just FYI.

Whoever it is, they appear to be carrying a grudge.

And?... Do you believe Beeatnik is some kind of idiot who would waste his time w/ BS like that? Anyone who would think that of a smart guy like him needs to grow up.

There are plenty of smart guys who are immature and do really stupid things. Who knows?

No idea who did it and not speculating.

Someone asked if anyone recently received a ban. I answered that question.

Nothing more.

Like Bruce said. We don't really know who is behind it. Beeatnik was banned and about three days later the account appeared. That is just the facts that we know.We're not computer savvy enough to know who started the IG account.

If you know who would do something like this we're all ears. For all we know it could be some disgruntled former Serotta employee.

Clearly though someone has an axe to grind.
