Same really, and I'm going to apply
Hanlon's Razor on this particular case, until I'm proven wrong. I just don't think it would have made much sense to drop the facade now if he was scammer after putting so much effort on all his services, no matter how deeply flawed was their security from the get-go, and trying to build a reputation when he could have done it far earlier, probably get away with more money and when BTC wasn't at an all-time high so people would eventually forget about it.
