I believe this situation was handled in a way congruent with BiggerPockets values and ethos - information was discovered, we gave the user in question an opportunity to respond publicly to the allegations, other members of the community chimed in to make comments and ask questions of their own, I made the decision to close the post because I believe many of the top viewpoints were discussed and I didn't want it to turn into shameless trolling with no additional value, that whole thread remains up for community members to view into the future for transparency and anyone who reads it can form their own opinions with the information presented.
