    Dude where have you been these last 3 years.

        He gave up on Scam Citizen ~5 years ago.

        He has mostly been involved in ApeCoin/ApeChain which is a phase 2 scam of that monkey JPEG scheme.

        He got suspended from their forum for arguing against some insiders who were scamming the marks.

          Sorry, I have not kept up with the guy, and that is why I made the silly joke. Thanks for pointing out what actually happened. And hey, at least star citizen is still trying to chug along (despite my own reservations. feels weird to agree with Smart), so those non-nft pictures of spaceships will prob outlive the nfts.

      The comment section seems to be 50% that dude by word count. He must be a perfectly healthy amount online.

        Yeah thats Derek allright, the man has a bit of a reputation for being argumentative and opinionated. And well with his extensive resume ( he made Battlecruiser 3000AD in 96) he has the right to speak on things, and we should be silent, listen and be in awe of the wisdom he bestows upon us. A living Prometheus, slowly back away, do not make eye contact or he will start a flamewar.
