    The rumor I heard is that it’s all about the abuse allegations from his sister. I’d link to the Less Wrong post, but it borderline doxxes her so even though it’s supportive, it’s still out of line.

      How many sisters does he have? If it’s less than 10 just saying it’s his sister will ‘borderline dox her’.
