I see no reason why both of the following can't be true:

1) Bill Hynes is a serial white-collar criminal with a penchant for lying, self-dealing, and bilking people out of their money, to say nothing of his pattern of criminal assault (including sexual assault).

2) Chad Taylor is a serial asshole with a penchant for lying and self-dealing (I'll stop short of bilking people out of their money, but it seems at least possible), to say nothing of his pattern of criminal assault.

It seems almost impossible to me that either guy would be completely absolved of even a fraction of the accusations levied against them, both in this article and related writings. Two bad people got into business together and the fall-out is happening before our eyes.

Sadly, the collateral damage of all this is that my favorite childhood band is fractured, probably permanently. It does make me happy that Chad, Chad, and Pat are making some money off the current lineup touring. They are after all the creators of the music I love, even if one or more of them is a monumental prick. Plus, the fact that they are all still in some business together related to the band keeps the faintest hope alive that one day the original lineup will again tour together. Although, at this point, that might be akin to trying to re-build a burnt down house with the ashes.
