Lani literally said there were "inconsolable differences" between him and Ben which resulted in Ben's leaving, and Ben "wishing them the best" is a diplomatic way of saying "I want nothing to do with you people." That CEO position was a pity position they gave to him anyway. They don't need a CEO. Their whole business model is leeching off IPs they didn't pay for and they're not worth the trouble of suing into bankruptcy.

Even so, Hbi2k actually ran it like an actual company, setting up events like TIBA for the community, giving out physical awards, keeping them on schedule etc. If not for him the group wouldn't have probably finished season 2, let alone start season 3. He was great with time management, and was the only one of the original group of abridgers from that era to finish 3 series (4 if you count his Gantz Filler series). Hbi2k actually cared about the ideals of "abridging" and by the end of things he was tossed away by people who didn't care, making it so insufferable that he wants nothing to do with the hobby.
According to that chick they are all still friends, but if he was still friends with them, why doesn't he follow any of them on social media?
