You can be a bad person and better at your job than a 'good person'. The 'good person' in question is ex riot employee who pioneered a skins gambling ad with underage m0nesy to feature as the star of the ad. I understand you want people to think you are seeking truths of the world but you are just a delusional virtue signaler.

Yes it is. He makes it very clear that it's still his company. He's just not publicly involved because he hangs out with a known sex trafficker.

I know he still owns it, I was talking about the decisions. He doesn't make any exec level decisions on G2 for a long time, he had interview about it 1year ago.
