Summed the situation and my thoughts in a very rational way, +1.
If Kris contacts you, please share an update here.
People are very upset and very hostile towards Kris, me included, but I hope he understands it's nothing personal and it's better to just come out and state how things are and what he is planning to do about this.
Prolonging this and remaining silent will only escalate things and make this a lot worse.
