OK, I actually knew most of what you wrote (but thanks for writing it anyway). I guess I'm confused as to LFC_Bitcoin's relationship is with Sportsbet.io and why he sent those PMs--and I might have simply forgotten. What was written in OP's post wasn't written very clearly--or I'm brain dead.
One thing I wasn't fully aware of was that LFC_Bitcoin denied asking for opposition to that flag, and whether he actually did ask for opposition (or just asked people to "look at the flag"). Is that the big controversy?
LFC is being paid by bitcasino, which shares common ownership with sportsbet. The common ownership is not obvious to the casual onlooker.
One thing that SM left out was that, in the PM that LFC sent, he asked bitcoingirl.club to lie, and LFC explicitly said in his PM that him sending a PM looks like shilling for sportsbet.
