Yes, he's gone. Presumably done on the basis of IP information. OK I was wrong and others were right. Will learn the lesson. But if he was fake it is the best one yet. Perhaps I should have stuck to my first gut instinct when I blew the whistle on his first post.0

Giving how touchy CAG are they may well have taken the post down because it was not verified. It probably is a genuine case, but the OP made statements that VCS/Excel may be held in contempt!
As you cant call this business a scam on CAG or call a PPC anything derogatory, then it would not surprise me that they took the post down, until it's either verified or moderated.0 -

Definately,
He did protest a lot, but his IP address was proberly the same as all the othersHi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
Cheating and lying are what scammers do, unlike decent people who take others at face value. He will have taken some people in but the idea that a random law student, who seemed to know very little about the law, just happened onto this thread to pick an argument was very far fetched. I strongly suspect the individual was connected with the apparent VCS/Excel court hammering and was told to come on here and muddy the waters while the rest of that incompetent team ran around with deservedly red faces. We should know in a little while whether the case was genuine but at the moment there is no reason to suppose not.
Even the BPA tells PPCs to stay off the site and not do the reputation of the industry further damage. But when you are as thick as some PPC operatives it would be difficult to get that message.0 -
To be fair he did have knowledge of the law. But the mystery was really why he ever appeared in the first place, I suppose. However, I would have said he definitely wasn't the same person as ppeterson or lawabiding. But if the forum team have access to IP info then it is strange that some of the reincarnations last as long as they do.
Still, lets see if the original post is true because it is a major landmark if it is as reported.0 -
