They are getting banned, even paying members. And as far as him being a scammer goes, I have been torn on whether or not he's incompetent and trying to cover for himself or he's just trying to see how far he can pull his supporters without a rope. Either way, he's lying to his supporters. So one way or another, it's a scam. That much is certain, especially in light of recent events where everything was done a month ago, followed by 6 days of "compiling errors" and then saying that it would be released by the end of the month. There's no way he had ready what he said he did and he tried, unsuccessfully, to catch up before he was found out, but failed at that. It's a huge mess that is snowballing out of control. Has been for years.
