          I’m sure that this was his legal team that reacted and fought back. He must have a top legal representation, they don’t sleep.

        He didn’t do it for you, he didn’t do it for us. He did it for himself.

        If news got out that Reddit violated anonymity, the site would be dead before the end of the week. This was a move to protect his shareholders, nothing more.

      Could you elaborate on your response, as well as what the link in the comment you’re replying to is referencing.

      I know what ISOs are, I’m just wondering what the original comment is trying to tell us about and what you’re replying about. Thanks.
