They consistently focus on the store and revenue sharing as the turning point. HN, Reddit, etc. speculated on a wider variety of reasons including personal scandal and criminal liability. Anonymous sources usually avoid granular specificity for identification reasons.
Fwiw, some details like "in the room" and "book deals" don't sound quite right, so I do have my doubts. I also suspect the same person may lie behind both the new HN user (throwaxcvxvzxcv) and the new Reddit user they linked here.

yeah, the new comments look like more of the same to me. A lot of not-so-subtle self aggrandizement, vague claims, and of course a "big secret" that they cant share.
They could still be some kind of insider, but they never added any new information beyond what was publicly speculated, and clearly have an axe to grind.
There is something about reddit that just attracts and promotes a lot of juvenile attention seeking behavior. My default assumption is that content is fictional unless it passes a pretty high bar.
Thats the point, it doesnt matter if they do or dont.
If you read through their post history, they have a comment or sentence for almost every possible reason:
Difference in vision
forcing development to fast
Didn't listen to safety concerns
Lying about finances
Making deals without the board
Hiding financial matters.
It is like someone is rattling off the top 10 guesses for the reason from HN or predication markets.
Now if they said something like Ilya Sutskever called Sam at 1215 on hangouts to tell him, That would be a be pretty solid proof.
