Besides that, chess.com made a statement that Hans was not divulging the full extent of the truth

I think at this point Magnus doesn't care whether Hans is cheating in any particular game. Magnus plays chess for fun, & he doesn't find it fun to play against someone who has previously cheated

If we want to go this far into euphemism and implication, remember that Magnus has something like a 20% stake in chess.com

I think it is worth pointing out that Chess.com did sign a contract to buy the Play Magnus Group last month. I dunno what to make of that, but this whole thing could have been handled a bit more professional...
