As others have already said, it is such a shame that it had to end the way it did. Surely his legacy is tarnished by the very real harm that was done by Sonic's shady business practices. Nonetheless, the contributions he made towards the preservation of the Korean proscene were immense and the scene would not be where it is today without him. As long as there are still people in the community with such drive, passion and love for the game I am sure Brood War will live on for another 20 years | ||

The guy did his best to revitalize the professional BW scene -- which is great, but he did it with what is effectively stolen money. I can imagine the core business itself is barely profitable. I am somewhat well-versed in corp finance, and from all the things I've read about Sonic, SBENU was basically trading at a loss whilst abusing suppliers and other creditors to maintain cash. The thing is, even a fraudulent Ponzi business can survive for a number of years as long as it continues to have a cash balance. But it's obviously unsustainable. You guys may look at all that Sonic did for the BW scene and think that his crimes were victimless, but once this whole thing unravels, someone has lost a ton of money somewhere. That's not just limited to Sonic, but all the people that he misled. | ||
