Can we just take a moment to appreciate -- maturity --

Of Hans and the men and women of Hans' team.

Presumably, not everyone is enraged, at this exact moment.
So maybe we can speak about it.

For months endless acrimony and escalations and emotionalisms.

Then, the right move, a solid counter measure, and finally, finally, finally people stopped. They went silent.

Much damage was done. But it stopped.
Year later the lawsuit finally got settled out of court,

Many became much freer about their acrimony, and it was quite a free for all for a while, but then, a few million dollars richer, Hans Niemann cleared his name once and for all, and returns to the scene -- in top form.

As he already was in, pretty much, trouncing an aging and declining decliner.

Well anyway so things got calm and thankfully, no one is biting on the most recent show or invitation to get back to the "good old days" of rage.

Mindfulness... and good health wished to all.
And now Peace has settled ...
Mostly.
Mostly. Until last couple weeks of Krama (Kramnik+drama Clever. Not to be confused with Kramer.)

Peace.........

sounds more like the opposite to me.

There is no indication of Hans losing money just as there's no indication of PacificRed's unfounded claim of him being "a few million dollars richer".
I'm kind of dismayed about his positive recognition and boost of attention (4-digit viewers at Twitch, holy cow) after his lies about online cheating and his preposterous conspiracy claims

Case was dismissed -> no money awarded -> lawyers cost money -> Hans lost money

Evidence?

Once again, there's no indication that Hans was required to pay his lawyers anything. How hard is this?
