I did not even want to read the rest of the article, since it is clear from the start that it is not factual, but rather the personal position of the author, which has no foundation in the truth.
Author of that article and the creator of this thread are most likely the same person. He got busted for dodgy behavior so of course he is salty now and ready to spread bs about bitcointalk.
At the same time, he obviously misses the forum so he decided to come back and maybe and give it another shot. It's love & hate relationship; he hates the forum but at the same he would like to profit from it.
