My entire post was based on the extensive reading I've done. I don't know him personally, I've never interacted with him, and am not judging him or slinging mud. I simply summarized what I had learned about the situation so that other people could understand without having to do the amount of reading I did.
If it seems harsh, it's because he did some pretty bad things. It's hard to say "Well he ripped off a bunch of people and lied to his customers" and make it sound flattering.
