@farq, I've found your post to be worthy of a resteem and upvote from me. I'm an actual person and I am doing this on behalf of the Resteem - Upvote movement. Join the movement, read about it here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@jackmiller/the-resteem-and-upvote-movement-teamwork

As for the truth about "what exactly happened", the answers may one day be found out once the doors to the archives are opened up to the public. Who knows, maybe even then it will be conveniently "lost".

All in all, it seems that not many people care too much about it, because if they did, then there would be a lot more out there for people to read.

In any case, what ever the case may be, may he RIP.

Good read mate.
