Pinkerton agents have been used to track down leaks and stolen Magic: The Gathering Cards “multiple times” before.
According to Cannon, the Pinkerton agents said that they “didn’t want to call me before showing up because they didn’t want me to have time to react and get rid of the cards.” Additionally, Cannon says he had no interaction with Wizards of the Coast before the incident on Saturday morning. Cannon was given a number to call, and he did so while the Pinkertons were in his home.
“A simple email or phone call from Wizards of the Coast and I would have cooperated,” Cannon says. “There was absolutely no need to send such a notorious agency to my house to frighten my wife and threaten us.” He also said, “I do really appreciate all the support from the Magic community during this. I’ve loved the game since I started playing it back in 1994, and I do intend on continuing the channel and opening more products.
One of the shocking details of this entire incident is the fact that Cannon is a hobbyist, not a full-time or even part-time content creator or influencer, and until this weekend he had less than 4,000 followers on his YouTube channel. Sending bullish private investigators to Cannon’s house in order to retrieve product is a massive over-reaction to a problem that is typically solved with a letter from a lawyer.
