Anybody remember that insane Monero article Mallardshead wrote on Reddit about the conversation overheard by the voyeur on sexsoundlovers? I think it was taken down and he was banned. But all the Monero news of the last year is making sense.

Here's more info on the backstory:
He is accused of defrauding Cape Town cookie company Cape Cookies over a decade ago of around R1.4 million by submitting falsified and inflated technology invoices. He has denied the charges against him.
Spagni has previously said that he intended to return to SA to "address" the accusation he defrauded his former employer and "get it behind me once and for all".
The court also ruled that Spagni's passport could be temporarily released to his legal team so that he could apply for a social security number, indicating he intends to return to the US.
