>>9709413>>9709756Here's a quick rundown on this feud, which began in 2020 and involved Michael actively involved with being a toady for Krahn.
Included here is an open letter posted by Justin Berger in order to clear his name after being stalked and harassed by Michael French and his fellow youtuber friend Thomas Guerra(aka LioConvoy), which involved them trying to get Berger fired from his job. Berger is a Star Wars fan and author who worked for Kim Simmons a former Kenner toy photographer who worked on their Star Wars line of toys and was crowdfunding a book entitled "The Man Who Shot Luke Skywalker." Berger wrote a lengthy letter which included screenshots and chat logs regarding how Michael and his friends Chris Krahn(who was running The Fans Strike Back), and LioConvoy were deliberately slandering and harassing him and Kim Simmons because his hero(Kim Simmons) didn't think the same as he did regarding reproduction Star Wars figures and wouldn't publicly promote or advertise illegal counterfeit toys(that's what the letter refers to the reproduction figures as), which Chris Krahn was selling(The Bantha that Michael later reviewed). To this Michael French and Lio repeatedly accused Justin of being a middle man who was tainting information that Kim Simmons was hearing, since Berger worked for Simmons and relayed information to him regarding the production of a book they were working on, and also Simmons had been friends with a big name anti-toy repro collector, who Michael despised.
This whole drama began when Chris Krahn tried to hijack the kickstarter to advertise himself.
