To be removed, a CA just needs to show it is not worthy of trust.

TrustCor met this requirement and got removed.

Other CAs removed in the past also showed they are unworthy of trust, but in even more blatant ways.

Yes - I know - I'm responding to the accusation in the quote, which is not at all substantiated.

You misunderstood the accusation as being leveled against TrustCor when in fact the commenter was referring to Symantec
