He surrounds himself with those who think he is a God. He is unlikely to ever release his source, or change his ways, because he knows as well as anyone that no force can be brought to bear upon him.
Back when the discussions of coinops took place at 1emulation, I did some moderating there in order to keep the peace, due to the ever-present fights. When I gave him a warning for abusing others, he packed up and left, taking his lovers with him. After that he kept sending snide PM's saying how great he was and how we sucked. After a while I put him on ignore, which finally gave me some peace.
As far as his coding abilities go, he may well be brilliant - but one can never be sure if he stole someone else's code instead. He makes sure that everyone *thinks* he wrote it though.
Apart from hearing of the occasional new release, I no longer have any interest in his doings.
