The investigation revealed some disturbing facts. It appeared that PKF Studios had been monitoring Huntsman's online activity and had been making threatening comments against him. Furthermore, a review of their social media accounts showed a pattern of behavior that suggested they were willing to use violence and intimidation to silence their critics.
