I'm not suggesting guilt by association. What I'm suggesting is that the crooked CEO of $Comodo and the crooked CEO of $Cloudflare probably made some back room deals where they laughed about how they'd be taking advantage of all the peasants who've made them both wealthy. I'm simply pointing out that when you have incompetent and crooked people in tech, they often run in packs. You might argue that altruism has no place in business but I disagree. When the CEO of Comodo launched his attack on Let's Encrypt, Cloudflare had opportunity to cut all ties with them. There's plenty of other CAs they could work with. They chose to ignore that scandal, and that matters.
