Investigation Continues into Misconduct Allegations
An independent consultant is heading the investigation into allegations raised earlier this year regarding misconduct on the part of one of our network hosts. Among other things, this adds a reporting channel independent of any Misdirected Mark Productions leadership, currently available and remaining so at least through Saturday, April 18th. For details, please read the full announcement here, currently also pinned to the top of the misdirectedmark.com website.
