Firstly RIP Frank
Rod, you in particular have no reason to be sorry. You started the thread believing in Frank as the hero he manufactured himself to be.
On numerous occasions Frank was implored to come clean, it would have blown over and he would be able to rebuild his reputation, he chose not to but instead double down and continue to lie, to us, to his team, his followers and his loved ones.
His times and accolades, that he used to sell his reputation clearly could not stand, and he forced LRC and MI to dig deeper to counter his denials.
Do not blame LRC nor MI. Without cheaters there is no MI, and Derek does not make money from doing this, but even if he did, so what, most internet businesses make more for less. I will be contributing so Derek can continue his work.
To the end Frank cast himself as the 'victim' and through his death force his followers and family to believe his story.
There are others involved in his charade, and rather than blame the 'internet', they as his co conspirators and confidantes should have taken some responsibility to help him come clean.
My role was minimal, but even though I posted, I rest easy.
Once again, RIP, but my thoughts are more with his family that have to live with his memory, knowing that only belief in his denials can preserve his legacy.
