A comment on Sam Altman and Greg Brockman Joint Statement. Parent comment

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.
