When/Where is the official statement from CGC regarding their policy going forward on giving blue labels to unauthorized bootleg comics?

Legal angle that may not have been brought up yet, for all the people saying why can't CGC just own up to a mistake and unlist these, and maybe refund Black Flag the grading fees, etc.  

There is approximately a 0% chance that Black Flag commissioned this variant without getting an assurance from CGC ahead of time that it would get a Blue Label.  I'm not suggesting grade-buying or specific guarantees of any particular grades like some are also speculating, just, Blue Labels.  Were CGC to back out now and say, "sorry, actually we won't count these as Blue Labels anymore even though we told you we would," they would then be liable to Black Flag.  They'd have to pony up, not just the cost Black Flag paid for the commissioning and the grading, but for Black Flagg's lost profits too (and, as we have seen, these things are selling).   CGC is not going to go that much in the hole on this.  They just won't.   

They shouldn't of thought it was good idea in the first place. Cgc has gotten too cozy with online retailers and artists.

This thread has been around less than three days and is approaching more views and replies than the mycomicshop selling experience thread that has been around for 11 months and a front page staple since its creation. Just a tremendous cockup for something that should have never even been an issue and then the powers that be decided to double down on their stance when giving the option to pivot and correct their mistake early on. 

I feel like 3rd party groups that are profiting off of the hobby will always just double and triple down. They expect people to get distracted and forget about it. Don't forget and keep holding people accountable.

Terrible precedent set by cgc. This whole scandal will undoubtedly hurt the hobby.

I had a comic reholdered and the comic only moves within the holder when you tilt it 45 degrees one direction or the other. You can feel the shift of the weight when it moves. Has anyone else had this issue?
