I can't speak to the reddit threads, but several of the notes for the ZIGGAP loans used to start the business have come up for sale on the note trading boards. They're priced to move, but the payments come due today. If he's still making payments on the (very large) loan, I'd say that's a good sign of sanity.

If he throws up his hands and skips his debts, well, that'd be a good sign he goes off the deep end.

Next payment is due within the next 20ish hours.
