Either a coincidence or karma, Abercrombie & Fitch market stock has gone down by 9 per cent just a day after the company announced that they would pay for The Situation not to wear their apparel. The stock hit a new low on Wednesday, August 17 in the first trading session after the no Situation policy.

A & F issued a press release, informing that they offer a "substantial payment" in return of the "Jersey Shore" star not to put on their product because he goes against "aspirational nature of its brand." Calling it a "win-win situation", the company suggests Sitch uses the money to wear other brands.
