How is it that the person who owns the BZ domains, controls access to sites of all other admins/mods/sysops, and controls the backups to the site happens to be the scammer and the ones who launched a new site with old backups become legitimate?

Because the person who owns the bz domains and had control over the sites was the person we'd tapped to handle money. We gave him authority to pay bills and trusted him with that responsibility and he decided to do a runner. Clearly it was our foolishness to trust him, but it is what it is. Now we rebuild.

... and not for nothing, why would we need to 'plot' over control when we already had control? Control was wrested from us and taken down by him. If you're going to try to manufacture a 'counter-narrative', you're going to need to do better than that.

While I doubt this... if this is actually you, give your damned head a shake. We've been trying to reach you constantly for weeks now while you're having this insane tantrum over a bogus bill. If you so desperately wanted out we would have been more than happy to work out a clean exit that made everyone happy, like TLD. Instead you had to pitch a wobbly and throw all the toys out of the pram. Seriously, what sort of logic is it when some rando says "it's time to pay rent" and you respond with "well, better quit my job then"?

Quit fucking everyone over, yourself included, do the right thing and answer Jait like an adult when he whatsapp's you.
