"His attitude offended several regular posters and they pushed back, eventually resulting in his leaving the hobby."

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!! Let me think!!
Maybe lying to everybody and losing customers had something to do with it?
He also had 3 casinos making limited Editions and selling the whole run to him?
He brought gaming heat on at least one of them, maybe all 3.
Might have had something to do with him leaving the hobby.

He got married, had a kid and moved to I think San Diego.
