I felt Rannoch had much to offer, much that he failed to see himself. But, time passes and it is what it is.
He did try though. Several are aware before the crash he made a small fortune on bitcoin - part of why he was encrypting his drives - but when he tried to share his luck they banned him out of paranoia (even though it was pseudo-anonymous system; maybe he could've done it more gracefully, but that's one hell of a misunderstanding; I thought it was strange). There was defeatism in his tone last I read from him but only a few years prior he'd been personally proactive. The "The zoo community did him no favors IMO" quote seems accurate; it must have made him regret trying to do good things or moving on from past poor judgment in proactive methods. That was my impression of the sour note this sadly ended on. covfefelake's comments about his character (being a "gullible puppy") help confirm that to me, versus him being some kind of sociopath, which crossed my mind at one time; at the risk of alienating even more people that seems now like it was my own projection more than anything.
