step 1 of crisis management - become the victim

While yes, frequently this is true, there are a lot of unhinged people that will make death/bomb threats against people/organizations they have beef with.

Most of the time, these threats are completely meaningless with no intent of follow-through. But can you take that chance?

There are a lot of rich people that believe they have impunity to screw over whoever they want to with no repercussions.

Solve that, and the rest of the problem goes away.

This is why crisis management firms recommend step one so frequently. It works.

Are you saying that they made up the calls? Or that they made the calls themselves?

It’s really impossible to know unless the cops arrest the people who made the threats and get a conviction.

I think it’s much more likely they the threats are overblown to benefit Unity from a PR perspective than that anyone is actually planning violence against Unity employees.
