Summary of the situation as I understand it (from an absolute nobody, but I did figure out the true meaning of the “FBI Honey Pot” warning post while everyone was talking about Glowies then started researching/paying more attention)
Rouge Mod registered the domain
Jan 6 is when the domain stand off bubbles over.
Rouge Mod gets identified by media (somehow). Panics (tbh who wouldn’t) quits the team and says “I’ll do an interview because otherwise they’ll blame me and I’ll become a target from feds and whoever else and I was the one who was saying we should be more restrictive”. Rest of mod teams says “no, don’t do it, did you not just watch the media spin and lie for the last 4 years?!”
Does it anyway. Gets basically the same outcome that could have been predicted. Duh. But now has thrown the rest of the mod team under the bus. But what can you expect from a Cruz 2016 guy who only started supporting Trump after he won (rouge mods words)
Rouge Mod realises he’s got no leverage to force the other mods to do anything. The only thing he’s got is the domain, no access to the servers or anything.
Rogue mod refuses to transfer the domain even after leaving because Doggos is pretty much the sole guy keeping this running and he’s foreign and Rogue Mod thinks that’s too big of a risk. Rogue mod is upset because Doggos has a tight grip on controlling the servers and code (after having basically built the whole thing himself)
Rouge Mod power trips. Holds onto the domain to “do the right thing” and protect against Doggos having full control of the whole thing. Picks successful business owner guy in the mod team he trusts and declares “he will only transfer it to this guy”. He declines supposedly because he doesn’t want the drama and exposure (I would guess his business is paying for a few of the bills around here but could be wrong)
Rouge Mod does hour long long form interview where he gets really guarded when someone asks and the host agrees he’s doing himself a disservice by saying he wants to leave and have nothing to do with thedonald but also refusing to give up the domain, something doesn’t add up.
Rouge Mod makes the claim that he will transfer the domain if Doggos shares the code with the rest of the mod team. I am not sure if this happened or not.
Win team gets increasingly worried about some guy who left the team and did an interview to save his own ass having sole control of the domain and what would happen if he sold it to someone or tried to build his own platform or whatever. Basically how much can you trust someone who’s no longer in the team having the ability to just turn it off in one go.
Instead of being at risk or unsure, Win team renames to patriots.win. (No more rankings etc :( )
Rouge mod shits the bed because his leverage is gone and turns the site off to prevent them from manoeuvring power out of his hands
the even shorter version is "guy falls into the same trap that everyone falls into when the SJW crowd comes after you: resigns, pledges to be better and is still lied about and abused by the media/the left anyway"
over the last 4 years, he did not learn how to fight
One part you missed:
These guys are all about turning this thing into a Reddit clone and making serious dollars. It's highly likely that the dispute was over ownership of that burgeoning business.
The safer assumption is to assume the whole internet is a honeypot.
Majority of activity here is completely public anyway so your main risk is more some no life ANTIFA butt boy with no prospects finding and doxxing you (most ANTIFA are hated by even their own “friends” lol)
The foreigner/non-foreigner thing doesn’t bother me too much because actions speak louder than words and Doggos actions have shown him more far more loyal than most and totally committed to giving The Donald an unapologetic home to thrive
Which is much more than most and especially more than any mod who used a domain name for leverage after quitting, announced they want nothing to do with it anymore, subtly threw the remaining mod team under the bus and all the while refusing to transfer the domain ( for something they no longer wish to be involved in) only to disconnect the domain after the remaining mods decide to rebrand to Patriots. Potentially leaving thousands unaware of what happened to the only remaining pro-Trump place on the internet.

Thanks for this recap. Tried piecing it together earlier and just said F it.
the even shorter version is "guy falls into the same trap that everyone falls into when the SJW crowd comes after you: resigns, pledges to be better and is still lied about and abused by the media/the left anyway"
over the last 4 years, he did not learn how to fight
Thank you for the explanation. I'm kind of a casual so was kinda lost with the goings on.
where can one watch this interview?

Thanks bro
One part you missed: These guys are all about turning this thing into a Reddit clone and making serious dollars. It's highly likely that the dispute was over ownership of that burgeoning business.
Yeah, this is quite likely
And personally I don't hold any negative feelings towards them when that eventual time comes
I’m not sure about that
But according to the Rouge Mod guy, it sounds like Doggos is in control of the source code and none of the other mods have it or a devs
It’s not written in php.
The safer assumption is to assume the whole internet is a honeypot.
