Sure; none of these comments were intended as indictments of his integrity. I don't know the guy, so that would be way out of line.
But if it becomes common to be able to short players, or if a group of players got together to set up another bank to short players and were raking in money at a decent clip, there's no telling what could happen. I mean hell, everyone assumed FTP could pay out, too...
Setting standards and establishing safeguards, procedures, and etiquette up front protects the community from scams and scandals down the road, even if Timex is the most trustworthy and upstanding guy ever during this whole process.
Agree with those who say that he likely has a securities and/or internet gaming issue, depending on where he does business and where he's domiciled.
