I don't understand what you mean here; I suppose he made it clear to everyone why he decided to quit? Leo wasn't wearing any paid signature for a long time after chipmixers left the forum so what are you talking about?

Yes, he said that he had an illness but I think that was an excuse to leave this forum. He was a very privacy-oriented guy, that's why I think it was not actually true.

I don't want to believe this... Before o_e_l_e_o left, a campaign was still paying upto $150, that would still be manageable for him. Besides, he could just leave without mentioning health issues. I am having a mixed feeling because of this post. Well, it will be nice if Leo is actually sound and healthy somewhere as you opined.

o_e_l_e_o was probably one of the most knowledgeable member of this forum. He was in chipmixer campaign for a very long time that was paying a serious money, then slowly payrate significantly decreased and soon mixers got banned and then he left. I think, he understood that pay rate would never be the same and he was such a smart and talented guy, he would do 1000x better outside of this forum.

This is a stupid thing to say and you should be embarrassed about it.

It is shameful that you insinuate that Leo was not honest with his reasons for leaving the forum and that the real reason is that instead of $150 a week, he could only earn $120. At the same time, even though you don't trust him, you end up showing that you respect him. Who is the hypocrite here?

Oh c'mon, not really. What he has done is amazing and I truly miss him, I just don't believe that he was dying or is dead, in my mind he is alive, getting 150K USD annual salary and doing a happy life. He was the person who was truly valuing privacy and I believe he wouldn't reveal such a sensitive information if it was actually true.
The fact is, we will never 100% what is true and I want to make myself believe that he is alive and doing well. I didn't really want to upset anyone but I can't do anything with this thought and I wanted to be absolutely honest.
