    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.
