If you sit back and look at the details of his relationships in LV, it's pretty easy to figure things out. What seem to be big mysteries, the "Why didn't he do it this way?" or "Where did the money go?" or "Why is he living in an RV?" or "You mean nobody called him on it while in progress?" questions seem superficially baffling. They are actually what one would expect if you figured things out.

He pulled the classic Uri Geller on Alan Mendelson, which is the way these things always turn out.

It's a shame Mendelson pulled the "Singer" stories from the site, because it was crystal clear, whether "Singer" realized it or not, that "Singer" did not discover the double up bug. There are toes I don't want to step on here, so I'll let it go at that. Some of the older crowd can connect the dots and figure it out. There are reasons "Singer" would have executed this bug and now be broke. And yes, "discover" and "execute" are two different words.

Redietz you seem now to be conceding that Singer likely did exploit the DUP blog. You seem to disagree with how he came to know about it and how much money he profited by it.

But those latter points were not the focus of dispute back when we were all arguing about this some months ago (feels like a lifetime, lol).

I specifically remember you taking the line that we have no proof that Singer's professed method is the true DUP method, therefore we should not believe it.

Whereas I think the more objective of us realized that Singer's reported method was very likely correct. You can think he's a fraud in other respects but the method he posted here was either genuine or a very clever hoax that made a lot more sense than what was described in the WIRED article.

I don't really care and we're all allowed to change our opinions, but I do want you to confirm that you now believe that he was executing the DUP bug. Because a whole lot of his detractors were saying the opposite...

Again, the big controversy was about whether he was using the DUP bug at all. Not his whole surrounding story about how he discovered it and how much $ he made with it. I for one don't care whether he made $10 or $10M.
