Let's keep this thread on topic. Testboner, you've provided info as you have it. FD, chill out.
Emotions get high on the topic of Dred, as many here are vets that were well aware of his actions back in the day. It does appear that he turned the corner a few years back, in terms of screwing people, but his actions in light of poohbear's bust is extremely dangerous. He put a bunch of his big customers at risk, IMO. I don't recall any announcements telling people that poohbear had been busted. Just that his service was pulled from Dred's site. That's not taking good care of the community, IMO.
Those who liked him, you do, and that's fine with me. Those who don't, I understand that as well. Most of us have long memories, and he never made good on all the funds he stole when he was reading people's PMs over at IL about a decade ago. He took a heck of a lot of risk after poohbear got busted, obviously that finally caught up with him.
