forget the computer security thing here for a min, cober. we all know that this game has nothing to do with security threats or anything, that is where a well known hacker or someone with a real talent in it goes to work.
think of it this way. hypothetically, you run a car dealership. one morning you come to work to find that 15 cars are missing. you find out that the person who stole the cars is one of the best mechanics in the world. does that really make a difference to you at that point?
why does this sound like the plot for gone in 60 seconds?
ok, then insert any other item and change mechanic to sale person then
Hrmm, wakey wakey, Zen sold the game to Cipher, Cipher and Zen now the same person, Zen is no longer around, just a ghost of someone who once cared and spoke regularly on the forums.
meatloaf, it makes no difference. the bottom line is does anyone want a liar or a thief working for them?

the government does it all the time
exactly! part of the reason why the united states accumulate $1 billion debt daily
Crunchy is a far more advanced coder than both zen and cipher put together. The fact that he has offered to spend his spare time coding this game is great. Hed turn this game around
he could be the greatest coder ever, doesn't change anything if you don't trust him with your personal information or feel that he might destroy the integrity of the game by doing something, like, i dunno, sending out $500K worth of credits to his gang mates and telling them that he paid for them
I have mixed feelings about this. Him coding could be a good thing, depending on how much information he was given. However crunchy as an admin, or even with full access to all codes (IE he could implement his codes without them going through Zen or Cipher first) would not work. He has proven he can code but he also proved he can't be trusted.
