Does he still work there? Is he getting paid?
"It's 100% confirmed that Merber deserves a lot of blame for GST's failure."
Okay pump the brakes. Let's get real here about Merbers role in all of this. He was basically in "charge" (to some degree) of assembling fields and signing athletes. That's it.
He didn't decide the format, he was basically given numbers (that he had no way of knowing the validity of) and told to get fields - and he did. But GST's issue wasn't it's quality of talent - it was what they forced their talent to do, how they marketed it (they talked a massive game but did f-all in that respect) and how they blew money on unimportant things.
Look full transparency - I don't even know Kyle Merber and hence have zero reason to defend him, but I struggle to see how deserves any blame for this at all. It's not like Johnson went to him and said "you've got an athlete budget of 200k" and he spent 4 million. Kyle Merber didn't decide on the crazy prize structure and even more idiotic format that translated into insane operating costs. Whatever his compensation was wasn't anywhere near what the "executive board" and that lineup of shisters bled out of the coffers.
