The consistent detail about the store breaking the camel's back sounds rather specific. I guess time will tell whether more claims by this user hold up.
yeah, the new comments look like more of the same to me. A lot of not-so-subtle self aggrandizement, vague claims, and of course a "big secret" that they cant share.
They could still be some kind of insider, but they never added any new information beyond what was publicly speculated, and clearly have an axe to grind.
There is something about reddit that just attracts and promotes a lot of juvenile attention seeking behavior. My default assumption is that content is fictional unless it passes a pretty high bar.
Thats the point, it doesnt matter if they do or dont.
If you read through their post history, they have a comment or sentence for almost every possible reason:
Difference in vision
forcing development to fast
Didn't listen to safety concerns
Lying about finances
Making deals without the board
Hiding financial matters.
It is like someone is rattling off the top 10 guesses for the reason from HN or predication markets.
Now if they said something like Ilya Sutskever called Sam at 1215 on hangouts to tell him, That would be a be pretty solid proof.
