  Sexual abuse allegations from his sister.
  - ilikehurdles 3y ago
    I don’t believe accusations from March about something that allegedly happened when he was 13 would be the cause of any of this.
    - partiallypro 3y ago
      Other women could have come forward.

        Altman is gay, FWIW.
        partiallypro 3y ago
        If he already abused his sister, him being gay isn't a subject that matters on his preferences on who to prey on.

        First, this is an accusation made on OnlyFans. Second, he was 13 at the time. You'd have to connect this accusation to truth, and that truth to his adult life. So I can't fathom her accusation having anything to do with anything. They've made it clear that the issue has something to do with statements he has made to the board that ended up not being true. The question is of what those statements may be. Not about his potential childhood errors or his onlyfans "model" sister's claims. So homosexuality isn't relevant here. But nor is what his sister claims.

    These allegations date all the way back from 2021, and the sister has made some other dubious claims like Sam hacking her wifi which erode her credibility. I highly doubt that this was the cause of his removal.

HN moderators aren't deleting any comments. (We only do that when the author asks us to, and almost never when the comment has replies.) If you're referring to some other form of moderation that you think is bad or wrong, please supply links so that readers can make their minds up for themselves.

  They were flagged, a system where a minority of HN users can moderate away posts they don't like. Is there any overview which lets us see specifically flagged submissions? I suspect this system has too many false positives to be useful.
