Do any of you find it suspicious how chesscom and chess24 promote regium for days, yet only 2 hours after lichess drops their bombshell regium article chesscom sends out a letter saying that they cannot validate regium's claims?

Out of interest Chess24 took down a forum post I started either last week or the week before pointing towards the suspicions that other chess communities had. Clearly they weren’t up for a blitz of banter on this topic, so to speak."
Reading comments like this... it's hard to believe that chess24 and chesscom were not aware of these issues before lichess decided to publicly call Regium out....
Even if chesscom and chess24 didn't do this on purpose (which is probably the case), don't you think the fact that this was promoted by them, to their fanbase, without verifying Regium's claims is a scandal in itself?
EDIT: I would like to make clear that I am not accusing chesscom or chess24 of anything, I am just pointing out and highligting how promoting REGIUM (whose videos and staff members etc have been shown to be ((possibly)) edited) can make people suspicious of anyone with ties to REGIUM.
