Hey man it’s Brett. Um. I know you’re probably dealing with a lot of, a lot of crap right now. Or you’re not and you’re just, I don’t know. The full rat shit thing doesn’t matter anymore, Halvorsen bailed, it’s fine, it’s kind of a relief. I just. Your mom’s okay. She’s worried. She called me twice today, which she has never done in fifteen years, including the time you broke your collarbone in Cabo. So. Call her. Call me after. Or before. Okay. Love you man. Bye.

Not a normal post for me.
My best friend Marcus Reed has been out of touch for a week. Most of you have seen his face on the news by now. I’ve known Marcus since we were nineteen years old, and whatever they’re saying about him, he is the most loyal person I have ever met. When my dad was sick, he flew out without asking.
His mom hasn’t heard from him. Neither have I.
If ANYONE has seen or heard from Marcus, anywhere, even a random sighting, please DM me. Nothing you send me gets shared with anyone. I just want to know he’s ok.
Marcus if you see this: call your mom. Then call me. 🙏

Tess Morrow · Product @ Northfield Isn’t this the Bitcoin guy? Genuine question, is he going to give the money back?

Sam Pruitt · Basalt, Colorado Pretty sure he was in line behind me at the Whole Foods in Basalt a couple weeks ago buying like nine kombuchas and sushi. Nice guy, talked a lot. Hope he’s ok man
Brett Sasaki · Author @Sam Pruitt thank you!! that’s him lol. DMs open
Harper Lane · Independent Consultant | Crisis Communications So sorry, Brett. This must be awful. Does Marcus have places he tends to go when he’s under stress? A cabin, family, a friend’s house, a favorite town? It might help people know where to look. I’ve done this before and I’m happy to help you organize whatever comes in, so you’re not doing it alone.
Brett Sasaki · Author @Harper Lane thank you so much, that would be amazing. he loves hot springs lol and he’ll drive four hours for a good burger. DMing you now
Kyle Oyelowo @Harper Lane sorry, do we know each other?
