Main complaints summarized from screen shots:
- Undercutting/Not compensating for travel
- Not paying full amount promised
- Filming and photographing participants without knowledge or consent, then using that for self promotion and her various fundraising
- Theft of Mermaid Linden's website/images and monofin pieces
- Misleading people into thinking she's selling silicone tails, when in reality she has convinced new silicone tail makers to give her a large percentage of their money in exchange for her acting as middle person - this results in large markups for the buyer, no communication with the actual seller, and exploitation of new people in the industry
- No training provided for mermaid school instructors
- No standards required for mermaid school instructors
- Buying knock off items to promote (Finfolk)
- False claims
- using branding of others mers to get traffic (SEO, hashtags etc)

Applicably news links: ""The mermaid world is still a very small pond. Chartier Hénault initially stepped on a few fins after she used photos and texts of established mermaids to promote her business. Mermaid Linden Wolbert was one of them."
This touches on how she stole Linden's content and used it to promote herself in Canada: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts...wbhW41GiMmryXY
