I was in one or two of his campaigns and he was always on the ball, which is why it sucks that he let greed get the best of him. He's not a stupid person, so it wasn't that.
I don't think aTriz did it for a few bucks. There's probably more to the story than what it seems. Would he risk his reputation for a few hundred bucks? Maybe not, but since a lot of people are jeopardizing their reputation for a few bucks, it doesn't seem to be a new thing now.
I noticed that at the time as well, but nobody seemed to say anything about it as it was happening. It was definitely kind of weird.

I think a few people were talking about it, not directly but people were talking.
If I recall correctly, before he got busted for his shenanigans, he applied for a relatively low-paying signature campaign, which I found surprising at the time. I can't remember which one it was, but I remember wondering if his campaign manager days were over at that point.
Don't know what happened to him, but it's possible he just gave up the forum and moved on. With the merit system nowadays, it would be pretty tough to rank up a new account to the level he had the aTriz one at. I'm sure he could buy an account, however, but who knows if he did or not.
aTriz shouldn't have any problem earning merits, he was naive but he wasn't a shitposter (until now). But he'll most likely buy another account, if he has done the same before.
Honestly, aTriz should have come clean the moment he figured out about the bitblisscoin scenario, and he would have still been around. People started getting really hard on him after the alia con-attempt. Even if he is gone, he shall not be forgotten. That's all I have to say.
especially based on this one thread post and the 3 PMs... It's just nonsense.
