Aside from when he concludes with "Personally I blame myself for not finding a VC quicker to close the deal and for not trusting the team when things were hard." the post blames Mike Arrington for everything. And note the "not trusting the team" - the team who remained loyal despite repeated lies and non-payment, the team who made the brand and the dream, the team that worked tirelessly ... He didn't even bother to thank them. I was an early victim of this fiasco and can confirm that the man lied and cheated his writers (and readers) from the outset.
