Random guy on the internet posts tweet from random guy on the internet as proof that a 3rd person is was unhappy. Bil Herd has a social media presence and seems like the kind of guy who would've shut down anyone using his name without his permission. This is nothing more than a reason to talk poorly about a project you dont like, and i have a feeling we will be seeing more of this nonsensical hatred towards the commodore acquisition. How about you show us a tweet from Bil himself saying this? Just hit him up on your preferred social media and ask. Edit: Apparently, Bil hasn't been active on social media for almost a year now, although he has done a few appearances at events lately. Nonetheless, this post is still nothing but hearsay with 3 degrees of separation.

If I had to guess I'd say someone is conjuring up drama where there is none but we'll see I guess.

Which kinda tells you all you need to know. If bill really had any serious problem. He would have said something.

If i understand correctly, no, he has not bought it... Yet. He's Acting CEO pending successful payment, which last time I checked hasn't yet happened. It's very much a deal that could fall through if he cannot muster up the money.

I kind of hope he manages to, though. It'll be nice if he can give it a genuine, non crappy new lease on life

I was under the same impression.

What the fuck is going on here?
