Ya, those were fun times. I always thought Lauda was a friendly, even when he got caught trying to blackmail someone as retaliation for supporting NastyFans which cost him his job here or when he pulled an escrow scam with MJ and Blazed (obvious scam, but they will tell you they just mismanaged it by lying about holding funds on an exchange and releasing escrow without client consent). I think Lauda was probably a good person deep down somewhere, but became obsessed with the idea that he could profit by justifying scams with technicalities while tormenting others online and getting away with it. Considering his hasty exit, it appears that could only last so long.
