occam's razor suggests that Rovion, Bob and Voorhees are all the same person. Any other reading would, as the article points out too-obliquely, involve too much strain on reality.
- btilly 11y agoGiven the information in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_Voorhees https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_Voorhees, there is every reason to believe that Voorhees has more to lose here than to gain. He already has personal wealth well in excess of the amounts stolen, and his personal cost from continuing to run the business in a shut down mode likely also exceeds the thefts.

- splintercell 11y ago> Occam's razor suggests that Rovion, Bob and Voorhees are all the same person. Occam's razor is a principle which suggests that Among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected. The principle works, because in other words it's saying "A theory must not have unexplained factors". Considering Voorhees has a lot more money (he might be a bitcoin billionaire at some point, if still not one), his reputation is on line. Rovion, and Bob being one person is fathomable, but Voorhees being them doesn't make sense.
