I'm shocked to see no mention of the tweets by David Bateman that seem to have set this off https://twitter.com/davidbateman/status/1307212066017521667?...

Did you link the wrong tweet? The one you linked (https://twitter.com/davidbateman/status/1307212066017521667?...) seems to be some douchy DMs where he tried to get a girl to hook up with some random guy in Vegas. But that doesn't seem to have anything to do with the financial state of his company or lying about products?

That's the right tweet thread. It seems there are other allegations at Trevor that might be the reason he's stepping down. The thread is allegations that he entrapped a long time, mentally ill, ex-friend in an extortion case to put him in jail. The reason? Because the ex-friend was posting texts of Trevor attempting to prostitute women.

His resignation post[0] includes "I intend to defend myself against false allegations" so most likely the resignation reason is not the company, but personal allegations. Apparently there is a NYT article incoming.
