#PeakDesign CEO is Peter Dering: “Of course, my instinct would be to do whatever is possible to help track this person down.”

They are headquartered in San Francisco with a brick and mortar in the Hayes Valley neighborhood.

I own an obscene amount of their stuff - apparently it’s all serial-numbered to me so the CEO can exercise his class solidarity instincts.

"we tried to snitch but didn't actually have any useful information" does not clear your name, #PeakDesign.

If anyone wants to send #PeakDesign a message (no threats or other misbehavior obviously) letting them know that WE know and won't forget about that the company is run by a snitch, here's their contact page:

I just like to directly inform companies when I'm putting effort into negative word-of-mouth about their brand—it's important to me that they know I am personally doing my part to damage their sales if at all possible.

#PeakDesign's statement about it really boils down to "Dering didn't *actually* give away customer information—he just proactively called the cops to ask if they wanted him to try to find customer data." The data either didn't exist or he was told it violated their privacy policies, but he really wanted to be a collaborator. Very reassuring: in this case there wasn't even any useful info—he just wanted to reaffirm his loyalty to the pigs and then brag to the press about it for some reason.

If the #PeakDesign CEO called up the cops to tell them that if he could find a way to snitch on the owner of the backpack, he would, then that's enough. He's a snitch, don't buy his products.

So it's unclear if #PeakDesign provided any info to the police that may have led to #LuigiMangione's arrest, but we do know this:

>> [Peak Design CEO Peter Dering] told the Times that he called the NYPD tip line to share what he knew and vowed to do “whatever is possible” to identify the shooter, including consulting Peak Design’s legal team to see what he could share with police.

Don't do business with this company.
