It's also ambiguous as to if he was removed for a CoC violation. It just says he was removed "for cause". It then goes on to state (emphasis mine):

"A Code of Conduct complaint was also made against Sonny Piers."

And it seems to have had the intended effect: Several people here(1) have been reading it as if that was the "cause".

Weasel wording at its finest.

(1): Including, it seems, poster "isantop". Who is otherwise coming off pretty much as one of those secretive board members, here to defend their decision and procedures, so it's hard to think it's unintentional in their case.
