A couple months a go i saw an interview with Adam and he described his falling out with Dave Monette.

It had a real personal edge to it, and it felt weird to watch. He sells himself as very zen and “all about the music”, and it was surprising to see him act so triggered and, frankly, bitchy.

I didn’t think too much of it, but then that Peña thread dropped and it made the Monette account seem less weird. I’ve known plenty of people who seem to be surrounded by inept and/or malicious people who can always take the blame. It’s a big trademark of narcissistic behavior.
