Honestly I can’t see YouTube being that much less liberal with this kind of thing, given how big of a deal he is. However he does have a history of self-publish

  The problem for him will be the burnt bridges. Similar allegations have been brought up against him and others in the past and the accused largely came out unscathed. It seems that the industry is far less comfortable with it this time around and there seem to be harsh consequences. I doubt the consequences are an expression of shock, it seems far more likely it's just a way to protect your brand's reputation (like we've previously seen with advertisers on YouTube). If that's the case I find it doubtful he'll find it easy to benefit from his old contacts until this blows over. Unless he's literally recording himself in his room and uploading to his website, he needs people to work with him. And even then he'd still be a the whim of a hosting company.
