On a personal level, my gut is screaming that somethings fishy here. I'm reserving judgement until it all plays out in the courts.
But who knows, the only safe bet is not to believe stuff you read on the internet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Edit: Sorry for being rational, but there's no evidence on either side.
On 4chan you can find a picture of a room, with the window broken in, along with a butterfly knife and red baseball cap that resembles the ones worn by sneed.

That room looks extremely American to me. Cookiengineer is in Germany.

Tbh I don’t think it’s particularly relevant whether or not he can convince online people whether he was physically attacked. There is clearly evidence of online harassment and that is enough to justify him stepping down.
In this particular case, there seems to have been evidence submitted to the police, so why you would say there is none is strange to me.
