What I said is still true regardless of whether he did up the rates on different occasions. And he wasn't attacked by trolls, that was just his excuse. He was only 'attacked' by people concerned about several aspects of his casino and sig deal, all of which he dealt with in a very unprofessional manner adding to further scepticism about him.
They were tirelessly attacking him with no proof of what they were affirming. That's extremely damaging for a business, and there's no good way to answer to their attacks. It's quite understandable, how that made him cross the threshold to "answering in a very unprofessional manner".
Thankfully, that unwarranted bad rep is cleared now.
