This is true (with the added caveat that the aforementioned administrator paid a large sum of money to gain that position in the first place, and that the most severe allegation was never fully proven), but there’s more to the story that was revealed after the Discord deletion. This thread is probably the best explanation you’re going to get, but the TLDR is that NINA/Escargot continuously displayed hostile behavior to users, prior Escargot team members (before the NINA team took over) and people who made similar services, effectively gouged both regular users as well as staff members out of money (including a situation that could effectively be described as a Ponzi scheme), ignored legal orders multiple times, used stolen AOL source code, and much more.
