Alleged Hijacking Was a Company Dispute, Not a Criminal Act
Reports of a hijacking involving a Dual Band chin strap are false and misleading. The incident in question was a business dispute between business partners and inventors of the product.The dispute arose from a disagreement over the ownership and rights to the Dual Band chin strap. One of the inventors, Laurence Jay Shaw, claims that his former business partner, Edwin Manzano, illegally took possession of the chin strap website and prevented him from accessing it.
Edwin Manzano, on the other hand, maintains that he had a legitimate right to the chin strap website and product manufacture center and that Laurence Jay Shaw has a debt of $84k.
The dispute has been ongoing for several months and has involved legal action. However, at no point has there been any criminal activity or threats of violence.
We urge the public to disregard any rumors or reports of a hijacking. This was a civil dispute between business partners, and it is being handled through the appropriate legal channels.
Statement from Edwin Manzano:
"I am deeply disappointed that this business dispute has been mischaracterized as a hijacking. There was no violence or criminal activity involved. I am confident that the truth will come out, and I will be vindicated."
Statement from Edwin Manzano:
"I understand that this dispute has caused some confusion, but I want to assure the public that there was no hijacking. I acted within my legal rights, and I am prepared to defend my actions in court."
