Here is how I see this whole cluster fuck:
1. Jonny realizes that he is in over his head and can't afford to pay past debt. He has two choices, close down and let GVH burn as everyone tells him 'told you so' as we all knew the company wasn't sustainable, or he can start contacting people and begging them to buy off his customers so he has another chance to bring back his company and he can say 'I never deadpooled and I never sold off my customers' as he just gave them away.
2. DrMike get's a message and he thinks 'We'll lets see if we can help Jonny' and reaches out to some people, one of those being Duke.
3. With limited liability Duke agrees to take over Jonny's customers so that GVH can stop acquiring debt and not have to be completely shut down. Spends a very marginal amount of money paying some debts to show good faith and gets a butt load of 'free' new income at the cost of maintaining the current infrastructure.
4. Duke slips up and this gets announced in several communities, runs around trying to cover his ass from the rape that is about to ensue and decides he will tell us a bunch of lies about non-competes and how Jonny's gone, etc.
5. Duke takes on the new customers and Jonny gets anxious as he is making no money or income from the deal and still has bills. Jonny decides the only way he can once again scam people out of money is to again start selling VPS services and Duke agrees to let him.
6. Duke comes to both LET and Vpsboard and claims that he has no issue with this because he has created an ingenious way to rake in additional income from Jonny by letting him resell his infrastructure. Onlookers in both communities get the idea that Duke is likely full of crap, so he makes some video to show that he is 'sincere' about what he says, even though he has already sold so many ice cubes to Eskimos that people don't believe a word he says.
7. All through steps 1-6 Duke sits back and laughs and counts his money as the drama produces more sales for his company. As he doesn't want to lose this money, he 'pretends' to be concerned enough to continue to post silly crap in his FUD threads pretending he has no idea what Jonny is doing and that he has no care for him. Mean while, the whole time conspiring with Jonny to create more drama and more threads to pump up sales.
8. #WINNING because people in both communities are still dumb enough to believe either of these parties are honest and continue to purchase their services. Duke provides good deals to several of said people so they will come and back him up in his FUD threads saying 'His services are great I have never had a problem, etc, etc.', because more $$$.
What is of the most interesting details in this, is the fact that no one has discussed the fact that absent any real signed deal (as far as has been discussed), Jonny decides it is acceptable to turn over his customers personal information to a third party without even first alerting customers of such a breach of privacy. If this was any other business people would be crucifying them publicly over this, but because of so much drama about everything else, this is totally overlooked.
I mean spin whatever stupid story you want about this crap, but the long and short is that everyone here knows you are both full of shit and have no care for anything else but #WINNING. So keep spinning your FUD, keep on cheating people and transferring personal data without disclosure. Just don't expect us all to think it is legit or to believe a word you say, if you really think we should then you are delirious and need to see a psychiatrist.
This whole situation is just looney tunes and if you can't see that, I feel sorry for you son. I got 99 problems but believing this bullshit just ain't one.
my 2 cents.
Cheers!
