I think vesperwillow is a smart investor.. he saw the badness coming and withdrew.. At the same time he's stuck around more so than Jaymes even.. and has contributed to the community. So to me.. he's just a smart guy that was into the concept of GPUC, wanted to support it, but didn't believe in the execution... which ended up to be the right call..
I've known Vesper for a while now, and I talk with him in chat daily. If he says something, listen. Dude is right about things like 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time he's listening to my hair-brained ideas and theories.
Seriously though, follow his advice if you can... he won't steer you wrong.
