Let's be real, people get killed over 10% that amount of money all the time. Yet I get all this attitude for loathing someone who mislead me, took my action, and then refused to pay me tens of thousands owed.
I took the deal because I was on a downswing post-taxes and he offered to stake me in $40ks, high roller events, whatever I wanted, playing low volume while in school, at 60% with incentives. Yeah, too good to be true.

It sounds like you spat at Bryn because you envisioned that the online community would rally behind you and because you thought his whole gangster act was... well, an act.
You seem to have been mostly wrong about the first. I hope for your sake that you were right about the latter. Because there are a lot of people, gangster and otherwise, who spitting at would be a huge mistake.
The softer charge would be that he 'ghosted' his brother.
The more serious accusations make it sound as though his brother had no part of it, and that bryn uses multiple accounts to play.
Obviously the latter is more severe, but as someone who recently dabbled in MTT's after having made most of my money playing cash, the scandal surrounding it seems to get blown way out of proportion by some.
I can understand why it's necessary to disuade people from using multiple accounts in tournaments (dilluting the quality of the field, etc), but the degree to which it's villified isn't intuitive at all... it's a "movement" that's sort of taken a life of it's own. I get the vibe that some people on 2+2 hold multiaccounters in lower regard than they do child molesters sometimes.
Last time, last thing:
This had NOTHING to do with multi-accounting, as I said in my original response that was quoted here.
I hate Bryn because he mislead me on a major staking deal I put a huge amount of faith (and somehow, money) into.
He bailed mid series after he freerolled $23,500 from me in buy ins without paying because he was going broke at the time.
Despite all, I was in makeup and was willing to accept I made a bad decision and put it behind me and take a small settlement- just the $2500 for my troubles- the buy in for a WSOP event he freerolled that I got 40th in and could have just as easily won. and we could walk by each other in peace for the next several decades we'll be playing this game. But no. Because "lol **** you I'm not paying u anything sorry".
And that doesn't mean ****, cuz any way you look at it, the guy is a known long time cheater, and the guy is a straight thief
Where do you people come up with this ****?
You think I am enjoying defending myself and making my personal business public while dozens of NVG tards talk about crucifying me? **** NO!
Seriously done, if you guys can't figure this out on your own at this point and just want to just make up bizarre ulterior motives, go ahead. There's a reason I post primarily in H&F, and never take any interviews live, and it's because I dread getting involved in the poker community nowadays.
