Paul Christoforo, best known as the man who set off an internet firestorm after a spat with a customer went public last December, has filed a lawsuit against the company he worked for them.
Some good may be coming out of the “Ocean Stratagy”/Paul Christoforo customer service debacle. N-Control, the company that makes the Avenger controller formerly repped by Christoforo, announced that they’d be making a large donation to Child’s Play.
Halfway into the internet’s #1 white-hot outrage of the now, it is easy to spot the bully. But it’s not Paul Christoforo.
In a statement just released, N-Control, maker of the “Avenger” accessory linked to marketer Paul Christoforo, has promised a $US10 discount coupon for everyone as an apology for Christoforo’s conduct toward a customer in a widely publicized email thread earlier this week.
“I want to clear my name. I want to get these people to stop bothering me.”
The PR tempest in a teapot born of one misused gamer and shockingly bad customer support seems to have mostly run its course, leaving a one-man PR firm in apparent shambles and a unique video game controller accessory struggling to survive.
