The issue here is that most of his mistakes are after returning the funds. Sure, he closed down the site and returned funds but are we praising him for just giving people their own money back and ignoring everything bad he has done and will possibly do in the future?
Also sure he's trying to make it all seem as good as possible again considering how bad image he's managed to make for himself. Of course it might benefit the investors but let's not forget it will obviously benefit himself if it manages to salvage his reputation. So is he really doing this for anyone but himself?
Thats the hardest part when you do already realized when its too late.You already messed up your reputation even you do already trying your best to rebuilt it but the trust wont really be the same for sure.
