If we are already dealing with assumptions, it seems that 1miau got into a similar situation after the drama against him. He previously started several competitions, but he decided to cancel them all. (He also left the signature campaign.)
However, perhaps a different interpretation of the withdrawal of sponsorship by Ratimov influenced him to change his decision once again.
1miau returned the funds he received from sponsors and the rest funds his own funds. I don't think he was motivated by Ratimov in anyway. Moreover, 1miau decided to continue the giveaway and he edited his posts already as he said in another thread;
Regarding the giveaway: topic is already edited and prizes will be paid out to the winners as promised.
I was one of the sponsors and I received the funds. Since he decided to continue the giveaway, I will send the funds once again. This should prove that a person like 1miau cannot be motivated by
"Trick".
