TOOOL Rules of Locksport:

1. Never pick a lock you don't own.

2. Never pick a lock you rely on (if it breaks, you're locked out!).

Ethics are the foundation of our community. 🔒✨

These actions are being taken seriously. #TOOOL still hasn't responded to my other public harassment claims against Hipu because they can't refute them like they tried to do over email to scare me away. #locksport

Shoutout to everyone who came up at #Defcon to show love and support ❤️ It meant more than you know.

Seems I got an unofficial response from #TOOOL about this.

Thanks to everyone for the support and sharing your experiences with #TOOOL. There has been no response. I fought against the don't talk about it and hope it goes away attitude while on the Board. We'll talk more at #Defcon!

Hi everyone,

I’m sharing this because I want the general membership and wider TOOOL community to understand what’s been happening and why it matters. I don't have a long history with TOOOL and have only been closely involved in the past two years. #toool #locksport
