       | But in this case:
       | 
       | - Mullenweg violated his own T&Cs.
       | 
       | - Him constantly lying about the nature of the dot org and
       | community structure definitely feels like false promises
       | 
       | - The WP Engine conflict definitely seems like it could escalate
       | into a racketeering case. In which case the entire ecosystem
       | could be thought of as victims.
       | 
       | To actually have WP stripped away from Automattic and handed over
       | to the community would be such an amazing outcome.
