I wonder what the plan was for BAS if he didn’t have this guy bail him out. It is much easier to just screw over one guy in private, than a bunch of contest winners constantly complaining on a public forum. If BAS had this guy in mind to bail him out from the start or if it was just a fortuitous occurrence? The pressure must of been great and was essentially totally alleviated by the “loan”. The fact this was kept quiet for 3+ years while this guy was continuing to moderate on the site is pretty absurd.
