Chess.com put out a statement refuting Hans' claims that he only cheated twice and Hans has not responded yet.

Then again I would put less than zero credibility to entity that has financial investment on the accuser in this case. Ofc, they will tow that line.
You're saying Hans only cheated twice, and chess.com is falsy accusing him of cheating more often than that because they're working on a takeover of Magnus' company?

That's straying pretty far into conspiracy theory territory.

I think they were probably pressured by Magnus who out of malice after losing a game is targeting promising player... Which I think is entirely reasonable reading of situation after seeing actions take by a player.
Chess.com ( magnus carlsons sponser) put out a statement refuting Hans' claims that he only cheated twice and Hans has not responded yet.(and chess. com have yet to show any evidence of said cheating)
