Unfortunately, there are always those who try to take advantage of the suffering of others and tragedies and this has also happened following Nicky’s passing. In fact, on social networks many illegal profiles have popped up to exploit the death of the American champion.
The family - who also received a visit recently in Italy from Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta who wanted to personally offer his condolences - decided to intervene against these jackals with a brief not on Nicky’s official Facebook page.
“Thanks everyone for your outpouring support during this difficult time. Sadly enough there are some fake donations accounts, go fund me accounts and people selling t-shirts and things under Nicky's name illegally.
The only official Nicky Hayden merchandise is on www.haydenbrosgeneralstore.com, www.gpracingapparels.com and Gabi Toy Limited Edition Teddy bear.
There will be an official memorial fund in the name of Nicky in the next few days.”
