To be fair, I was originally replying to the complements about how amazing Kip Macy is, not OpenZFS. If the parent comment was about OpenZFS, I wouldn't have replied. I thought posting about Macy's multiple felony counts is a solid response about how amazing he is at leading folks. Also gtfo with your anti-CoC outrage with this. He didn't get caught using the wrong pronoun in a code comment. > Kip Macy is accused of three felony conspiracy charges, three burglary charges, two stalking charges, two grand theft charges and one felony count of shutting off service

That is why Kip goes by his middle name now. He also moved from California to Washington. This was big news in SF Bay Area when it happened. It was FreeBSD's Hans Reiser moment. Another gem, Kip kicked one tenant in the chest while he was sitting on the couch and threatened him with a gun. I am curious if he ever reimbursed his parents after they drained their retirement savings and offered their house as collateral to pay for his $500k bail, which was forfeited after Kip and his wife Nicole decided to skedaddle to Europe instead of appearing in court. Kip continued to work on FreeBSD while on the lam in Italy with full knowledge of the core team, with many members actually defending his behavior. Kip and Nicole also never showed for the civil trial and lost by default. The original plea deal offered by the DA, before they absconded, was 6 months in county jail with charges reduced to misdemeanors. Instead, both were sentenced for 4 felonies and got 4.5 years (reduced for good behavior), with Kip ending up in San Quentin -- a maximum security prison housing California's death row. I remember ABC News did an interview with Kip while he was incarcerated and he blamed his tenants for all his troubles. At least he can no longer (legally) possess a gun since he is a convicted felon.

  This is indeed Hans Reiser-level drama. After reading about their shenanigans I can't believe anyone would choose to work with such a person. https://abcnews.go.com/US/exclusive-landlord-hell-defends-terrorizing-apartment-tenants/story?id=20875476 https://abcnews.go.com/US/exclusive-landlord-hell-defends-te...
