It'd be one thing if he owned up to it and admitted what he did was wrong but he's grown past it. His attempts to obscure it away just tell me he hasn't changed. Which is funny, because his videos gave me a grifter vibe I couldn't quite place until I learned about his history.
for me it was him boasting about his amazing game changing contributions to Windows
when he mostly did thing like lay out the widgets on the format dialog
he's no Dave Cutler
It's not like he needs to peddle merch or anything, I doubt he needs the income. His whole channel seems to just be a hobby and talking about old MS stories attracts Youtuber viewers en masse.
I think there are quite a few more interesting stories he could tell from his more recent time as a malware/scareware developer, but the internet probably won't be quite as appreciative of them as his Task Manager story.
