Correct: we and other guys "supported" him in pre-covid era against
some delusional who was targeting the server (ddos, hate capaigns and
such), but as a true gentlemen he always refused any financial support
we wondered to chip in.  ***

he, for what he stated/wrote is a lawyer/employee in law firm.

he, for what I understood, refused to "share" any possible
consequence in running the server (our national regulation on the
subject is kinda blurry with lots of grey areas because of limited
competence of lawmakers).

he, being the one and only, is the owner and only who will decide
what/who/where and why, (eventual) consequences included.

In short, for what I've understood, and let me underline this is my
understanding of the matter based on the informations I got, HE is the
one and only AIOE, no other people involved.


*** we wondered pitch in to support him switcing from a "obsolete mid
tower running in his basement" to a "proper" hosted in a server farm.
