My take is that Anderton must be in living under a rock not to know about the Vertex thing to some level, even if not the gruesome detail.
My next take is that Vertex man has obvious contempt for the pedal buying public, playing on the hype-next-best-thing model that the pedal public can get caught up in.
My next next take is that Andertons have contempt for internet forums and the like, probably of the belief that they transcend the forum population - some of their vids are very dismissive of "forum types" and that skit vid they did recently did on YouTube Trolls was embarrassing in its transparent bitterness - despite their enormous growth being attributed to internet presence.
Mix it all up and you have a situation such as this.
I may well be way off the mark.
I'm sure anyone who see's the video will see the comments, the internet has done it's thing and warned people (who can now make an informed decision) but put the tin foil hat away.
The Vertex guy is clearly a huge bell-end, Andertons have probably clearly mis-judged the situation but not everything is a huge conspiracy. Sometimes, things are just as they appear.
You are entitled to your opinion though and I'm not saying you're wrong. I just see it differently. If, in time, Anderton's do as Lee said and drop the pedals then fair enough but at least wait and see before summoning the firing squad.
Not sure he needs to though
I know they haven't lied out right in the same public manner but the blatant cloning and disregard for everyone else's intellectual seems to be going unscolded
Edit - I don't think they have dropped bombs on anything

I stopped buying from companies supporting Masons come back - the guy continues to lie, he was demoing a certiatone amp as a "dumble" to prove his pedals worth and deleting comments of the guy who owned the amp before the guy loaning it to Mason and various others, basically still a liar still hiding it, deleting comments calling him out, deleting comments of people asking question that are not "wow looks mega" type comments,
I'll be buying from Peach all day long, I've bought from Andertons in the past, but this video isn't cool, I find it hard to believe that anyone who is about to consider stocking a brand and asks for demo's doesn't at least google them to see how long the company has been around, do they eat babies etc, first hits on vertex pedals are huge amount of complaints, so I'd expect that to raise questions or at least a minor dig into things.
I've known andertons where stocking vertex, but ignored it just out of being lazy and insignificant, but seeing a video like this pretty much allowing Mason to spread his lies, I'm done with them.
Every company will stock brands we don't like or have a problem with, but Vertex is on it's 9th chance and continues to be a lie based business and owner who continues AFTER being exposed (not coming clean) to misinform customers and hide that fact that he's misleading them, I just can't support Andertons using it's significant media profile to support this guy. Gutting as I've had good service from Andertons in the past and it's nice to support "shops" rather than the internet, but this is just not cool.
The way this has respectively been dealt with by Peach and Andertons says a lot.
I admire the way Peach is run. Just more my type of people.

it's very old. It was there when I bought my Fender amps from them, which was a good few years ago.

Worth trying if you can find one for sale !
However....
If you are absolutely convinced that he will repeat his past behaviour, then Lee has just offered all Vertex pedals for free. Buy one. Or two, three or four, you will get a full refund, it's there in writing!
If you think Lee is right and he has turned over a new leaf then don't buy one, but don't complain about Andertons selling them. Fair enough to raise this guy's past, but also fair enough to give him another (one last) chance?
Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.
He must have had a dozen last chances...
It's amazing the level of feeling about this guy; here and in the US and elsewhere I guess.
Fraudster full stop.
