Magnus owns a decent stake in them (20% maybe?) and has been very publicly making accusations as well.

Its not that much, but the article ignores the fact that chess.com knew all of this and invited him to their tournaments. Then once the Singfield cup event happened and Magnus got mad they banned him.

They have been selectively releasing information about him and his one time coach for a few weeks now. While in the past they have never, not once, released any of their cheating information. Why now?

If they dont release the report they are talking about then this article is nothing.

Apparently they have a policy of only dealing internally, with their own online systems. Basically they just quietly ban players caught cheating, and don't report it anywhere normally.

Even now, they haven't released this publicly yet.

Their deal with Magnus hasn’t closed, but yes, they are purchasing his company.
Oh, I didn't know that chess.com wanted to buy chess24. That does make it more difficult.
