Lots of claims and counter claims. Thus far and having seen their (Vydex's) open letter yesterday the big issue of the day seems to be that said raid may NOT have taken place and the person claiming it did could be getting a solicitors letter soon. The lesser issue of the Dextralose (TM) not containing asartame but being included in word for word identical product descriptions of a few supplement companies protein products is still on the table.
I've just seen Vydex's letter has been made public so here it is:
Open Letter in reply to the Malicious Attack on Vydex and Others
17th May 2010
You may well, by now, have read the malicious false attacks on Vydex and Others in a number of Chat forums over the last few days.
We have already informed the Trading Standards Office, they are keenly interested in anyone abusing their service and Office to spread defamatory false rumours. The OFT (Cardiff) will confirm that no such action has taken place against Vydex, nor is there any such action pending.
We can, if required to do so, demonstrate that we do not use nor do we hold in stock the sweetener Aspartame®. We can also confirm that the Sweetening agent Dextralose® does not contain Aspartame. Brands such as Coca-Cola®, Red Bull®, and a number of Top name American Protein brands do however contain Aspartame®.
The character assassination attempt on me personally, only leads me to conclude that there are a number of individuals that have failed reach up to my standards of achievement so their only option, as they see it, is to attempt to drag me down to their own shallow standard. I find this quite saddening to be honest, and whilst I feel contempt for their behaviour, I also feel rather sorry for them.
We already know the identity of the instigators of the malicious, false attacks. We know the origins and we also now believe we know the catalyst for them. It appears obvious to us that our business strategy, customer service and high quality products has had an influence on the down turn in trade for the Brands owned by these individuals and their co-conspirators, two of whom, are in the Bristol area! (Nothing whatsoever to do with Prolab, I hasten to add!).
All involved in this spurious plot were indiscrete and even egotistical enough to leave a trail behind them that was so very easy to follow and link up that even a moonshine soaked, old bloodhound could follow!
They set out to cause a chain of libellous and false information to circulate within the Supplement / Forum scene, which they hoped would result in severe damage to out reputation and that of others. These faceless but not so anonymous individuals appear to be under some illusion that they are “clever”. Well it appears that they are not!
What they achieved is the exact opposite. There is now a wave of discussed and appellation building against them, which may well result in a further loss of confidence and thus, demand for their Brands.
There is a very strong possibility that legal action will follow against those involved. If however, a public written full retraction and apology is published in all the forums the malicious attacks were published, we will accept this and move on and put an end to the matter.
