Editor's note: Beginning in February 2026, I directly contacted Jamie Thomas, via his working, personal email address, to give him an opportunity to speak for this piece. Over the course of nine months and 3-4 emails, he never replied.

- Jamie Thomas creates logos resembling Nazi symbols for Zero & Mystery.
- Jamie Thomas exploits/coerces his team riders (most notably Chris Cole) to dress & skate in ways that will profit him.
