Also weird to see the foreign community cheering on someone who essentially scammed their fans. I.e., promoting a crypto without revealing you had ties to it. Greedy and deceitful but i guess if u weren't the ones to lose money it's okay!
Let's look at this comparatively:
Life, lost games on purpose, took money from sport betters and fans who believed in him. Shunned.
Flash, promoted a shitcoin, took money from fans who listened to him and invested into the coin. YAY HE'S BACK!
(If there is anything I'm getting wrong I'm open to my opinion being changed as long as there are sources. But to me it really seems the foreign community has no moral standards because the scamming didn't effect them therefore they are able to look past it. If you lost $500, $1k, $5k would your opinion be different?)
The coin never went live, everyone who invested got their money back. Nobody lost a single cent from this whole thing.
The comparison with Life is also pretty weak. Life is banned from all and any SC2 competition. It does not matter if people would want him back or not, there is no come back path for him. Flash didn't get banned from anything. Life was also legally prosecuted, Flash was not.
10 minute video is all you had to watch before posting, funny how you are asking for sources while providing none:
Every thread about Flash ends up being about the coin scandal. Can you create a megathread or something that talks specifically about that, so that every other thread can focus on gaming? Do you think Flash will participate in /win the next SSL? Do you think he will go back to peak form? Who would win, Flash or peak Snow (January 2024), etc ?

Technically he has to win as Protoss three times in a row, playing against a clone of himself playing Terran, to convince me Protoss is as strong as Terran.

I mean, seems pretty obvious to me. Life compromised the integrity of the game. That's the inherent difference. I don't know how it works in Europe, but at least here people really only hold out of competition infraction grudges against players unless they involve serious physical harm against people or animals.
If i was mod, i would ban all talk of crypto. Not 1 person using TL bought into flash's crypto scam, this is just a bunch of unaffected people circle jerking their moral compass like it means something.

If we restricted discussions solely to what personally affected us, well it wouldn’t be much of an active forum

I'm not fond of the crypto talk either, it's been discussed to death here, but if we use this standard it'd mean we shouldn't have said anything about Rapid at BSL too.
