Probably shouldn't rehire someone you probably fired over sexually assaulting his sister...
There is none. There are some rumors and past allegations but no evidence or confirmation on why he was removed. Not sure why so many people go around spouting random things as facts.
People love that endorphin rush that comes from being part of a Two Minutes Hate on a "deserving" subject.
Take Sam's dick out of your mouth and maybe you can find the source
I don't think he wants to fight you for it.

I had never heard this before but googled it.
That's kind of fucked up dang.
Not just the abuse but the disconnection afterwards is fucked. And when there is smoke like this and that sort of disconnect there is bound to be other shit lurking in the background.
Part of what makes this particular story noteworthy is the lack of coverage for so long by news outlets, so turning your nose up because of the news outlet that wrote the story kinda misses the point.
If you’re so critical of The Mary Sue that you’re not even willing to read the article, that sounds like a self-enforced echo chamber. You’re always free to find coverage by another news outlet or even write to a news outlet you respect asking them to cover this story.

I love the jock riders down voting me. Maybe if you kiss Sam's ass enough he'll make you rich too 🥺
We aren’t downvoting you because we assume that didn’t happen. We are downvoting you because there is zero evidence that that is why he was fired.
Great! I'm being down voted because you lack reading comprehension
Ironic that you are accusing us of reading comprehension issues considering your link says the following:
Your conclusion is based on nothing more than speculation, so you might want to work on your reading comprehension before going around accusing others of the same problem that you clearly are suffering from.
Homie I'm not the one coming to the rescue of a dude that sexually assaulted his sister.
Lol I’m not rescuing anyone, just pointing out the factual innacuracies in what you are saying. I have shown you where your evidence did not say what you were implying, but please, show me where I’m wrong with evidence.
ETA: also, you’re wrongly assuming I wouldn’t want him to be fired for sexual assaulting his sister. I do want that, but at the current time, there is nothing other than speculation that would imply that is why he was fired, so I’ve downvoted you for spreading misinformation and for doubling down on your misinformation once that fact has been pointed out to you.
Ahem
Now go fuck yourself, sex assault sympathizer.
Now it seems you’re confused as to what I wanted evidence of. I didn’t imply you never said “probably.” I read that part, but you provided a link as evidence that it was “probably” why he was fired, and it turns out the “probably” is all your premature conclusion while your link is careful not to draw the same conclusion.
And FYI, calling anyone who disagrees with your premature conclusion a “sex assault sympathizer” is straight up slander and only further shows that you have a habit of jumping to conclusions prematurely without evidence, so congrats on weakening your own conclusion even more.
No, and no.
This is why you're being downvoted, and then you decide to double-down by insulting people. I would say that reflects an ideological perspective.
You’ve been downvoted, but the posts from his sister definitely don’t look great, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that was why the board kicked him out.
I'm getting downvoted by embrassed billionaires 😂
You're getting downvoted for slinging homophobic slurs and insults at people who are questioning your unproven allegations.
It's hilarious that people think this had anything to do with ethics. Money. It's always about money.
There is a post on lesswrong which compiles the accusations made by the sister. Having worked with many incest victims, family scapegoats and Cinderellas I'll say the story is familiar to what I've heard before and therefore credible.
Please link that.
