I just wanted to point out that he is/was a shady person and people should be cautious dealing with him.
To adress your points:
Ultimate Rally - afaik there where some poeple on forums that paid a significant entry fee and didnt get it back
letsbuyit.com - clearly illegal, insider trading and he got a prison sentence + 100k fine
Bin Laden bounty - true, but it still was smelly
Liga.net - it was a Quake2 Duel League back in 98/99 (if i remember correctly). Kimble was known for playing lots of Quake back in the day, he invited the most promiment players, first prize was some super High end PC (of the time) and money but the winner never got it and was kicked out of the league, which was shutdown soon after that : http://planetquake.gamespy.com/fullstory.php?id=61507
Its just a fact that you should not trust this guy given his history. Sure people change, but be cautios!
