It's not vague speculation when there's obvious holes in the narrative being presented. I'm inclined to assume corporate is in the wrong here but I'm not going to blindly accept accusations when it's clear that key details have been left out.
There aren't obvious holes. Most or all of what's been claimed as holes have just been straight up lies from B&M
As someone who has only read the article, there are absolutely glaring holes in it that made me suspicious while reading it. For example, they refer to the cops being "presented with a version of events favorable to the store". But it never tells you what that alternate version of events was! That's a hole.
Well, yes, if someone doesn't care to look for the full story then there will be holes almost by definition.
The common accepted meaning of "holes in a story" is not "I don't know the facts", but "the story itself is misleading or incomplete".

Beyond glaring omissions such as that one there's conflicting information between the linked article and what commenters here say the various linked videos contain. The article also lacks the necessary level of detail regarding the various legal claims, counterclaims, and entities involved which in this case are absolutely essential to understanding what's actually going on.
I'm inclined to believe that there's corporate wrongdoing but the piece itself comes across as a blatant attempt to stir up drama as opposed to objectively informing the reader. It's certainly not the sort of thing I come to HN for.
