It's a little hilarious to want to make sure an article about TC and Arrington isn't biased. If what he says here is true--and I'm certainly inclined to believe it given the flagrantly enjoyed conflicts of interest, lawsuits borne from shady dealing, opportunism (moving residence to Seattle), and egomania--that alone would be just cause to depart, and probably on less-than-friendly terms.
Thinking about Arrington reminds me of the story arc on House where the cop goes hard after him for illegal narcotics. At one point he shows up with a warrant at House's residence and finds bags full of Vicodin. He tells House something along the lines of, "Egotistical people think they're smarter than everyone else. I've already seen you willing to skirt the rules. It's reasonable to conclude you skirt other rules too, like writing your own prescriptions."
Given the public, documented things we know about TC and Arrington, it would beggar belief that he did not use his power to trade favors and influence.
