500k a month to keep BU propped up,

You seem to be making a claim that some party is expending "500k a month to keep BU propped up". Care to substantiate this? Who is the party making this expenditure? In what way is this expenditure 'keeping BU propped up'? How do you know this to be the case?

In an interview, Charlie Shrem made the claim that Roger Ver is spending $500,000/mo to "keep BU propped up". No more details than that were given. Charlie Shrem was the owner of BitInstant, which Roger Ver was a large investor of. Roger Ver denies the claim.

So an unsubstantiated rumor. Got it.

Now that Bitcoin Jesus has been recast as Bitcoin Judas, with a huge contingent prepared to cast him through the gates of hell, should we not be suspicious of unsubstantiated rumors?

I see you've edited, so I shall also:

However it is known that Roger Ver is funding >90% of BU development.

No. The vast majority of BU development is pro bono. Roger made a significant donation to the BU Foundation, but most of that cash is sitting dormant.
