    Glad to see second wind is doing so well. I haven’t been back to the escapist since the exodus.

      There was bad drama last year that cost them some goodwill and support, but that’s over and done. Overall they seem to be doing well.

        Was that when Frost left? I know there was some disparity between his and SW’s accounting of how the company was run but I didn’t look very deep into it.

          Yeah. A lot of accusations around misconduct, abuse of power, and misuse of funds. And though there was a kernel of truth, the serious / deliberate stuff did not check out, the evidence was presented in a manipulative manner, and the whole thing was clearly personal.

          The other creators and co-owners of SW eventually came out with statements on the situation. And I don’t see how all these smart folks that had just struggled to depart a terrible management situation and do have access to SW’s financial records would let themselves get duped like that.

          Anyways like I said, over and done.
