Obviously given the lack of information (maybe for the best?) there's nothing really to comment on when it comes to the allegations

However, I do wonder what this will mean for Adafruit product availability in Europe, as most stores I know of that sell Adafruit products here are Sparkfun distributors.

One of four possible outcomes:

- This blows up in Sparkfun’s face and they lose sales for not having Adafruit so they invite them back. Or Adafruit apologies and comes back.

- Adafruit is forced to become their own distributor and be a Sparkfun.

- Adafruit finds another distributor willing to go to battle with Sparkfun.

- Adafruit is no longer available in Europe.

Maybe I'm missing something, but the big players that I know ship and sell globally like Digikey, Newark and Arrow are all Adafruit distributors, and presumably that wouldn't change. Do you mean brick and mortar or something else?
