what bums me out the most about the proxystudio thing is that he's an immensely talented marketer and founder, and there's another timeline where he took the honorable approach and accepted that he couldn't have the meteoric rise that was possible with a fake "clean" identity he still could have built up a wonderful project (maybe not Clanker), could have atoned for his past by doing good work honestly, with the understanding that some people would never trust him, and that he might have to structure the financial side of things differently

but it's so hard to own your shame publicly. in a sense I don't blame him for escaping into a new identity (though it was low to assume the name of a guy he left holding the bag... the empty bag!) I have a lot of sympathy because I've fucked up many times in my own past, both professionally when I was still getting my "sea legs" in the workforce, and certainly personally. I've betrayed people, I've lied and dissembled so there but for the grace of God go I, that my own failures were never at that scale, and never played out in the public eye. that I had the opportunity to grow and change and learn how to Be Good without being judged unredeemable

yes. it is much easier to process and learn from negative events (whether they were one's own fault or not) without scrutiny
