Trying to parse as I am not in the know. Nate is Nate Seidle, CEO of SparkFun Electronics?

I know SparkFun recently took over Paul Stoffregen and Robin Coon's Teensy production (I reached out at the time and Paul said it was cool).

I'm guessing Adafruit got a special deal in purchasing Teensy's from SparkFun but because of an allegation made by you against Nate, they are responding by dropping your entire product line?

Anyway, good luck to everyone involved. It's a small community of companies that provide for makers.

I have feeling it will only hurt PJRC in the end for trusting sparkfun to sell and manage the teensy "brand"

Can't say I blame them though. Paul and Robin are two people. Sparkfun (and Adafruit) are massive by comparison and have big stores that sell the same sort of stuff in much higher volume. The Teensys are popular. Sparkfun does (or at least used to do) board assembly in-house. It seems like a perfect match on paper.

		Paul and Robin were awesome to work with and it was disappointing to see them stop handling their own distribution, but I totally understand the desire to move away from even just the mental overhead involved.

I am completely out of loop here. I think I may have heard about adafruit once.

Your comment seemed the most information to me (and thank you for that) but can you please sum up the whole controversy from what allegations were made and everything because I was sensing that adafruit was in the right earlier but (now I am not?)

I feel like I would benefit a lot if you can tell me the whole controversy if possible. Thanks in advance!
