Lichess banned atrophied

So will all the users who bashed moderators and this site be making a public apology now? I won't hold my breath.

I think @Atrophied deserves some credit for the confession even if it was a week later. I personally think he is an idiot. I think the best way to atone for your sins will be by having to play on laggy chess.com servers from now on. Every time you lose on time, I hope you remember your sins and transgressions.
Atrophied owed up or did lichess identify the issue?

What are the time constraints on 45 45 tournment he cheated on?

We thought this "player artificially increases/decreases their rating" meant sand bagging only. I suppose if it was sand bagging only it would read this "the player artificially decreases their rating".
What annoys me the most is looking at the chat in the 45/45 games.

DETERMINATION -Didn't think about Rc8 here... I think I just take it and am better in the Q+minor piece ending...
DETERMINATION - His king is really not safe.
Atrophied - Rc8 feels like it's asking far too much of my position. But it's either that or take the half point for tiebreaks.
Atrophied - Never let it be said that I didn't try.

Both users in this game cheated and got their accounts closed, yet they are speaking to the spectators about "their" thought process. It makes the deceit all the more sinister. Almost sociopathic.
#145 At first I couldn't believe it either. Months ago we played a dual-commentary match and I know he respects his opponents and his audience. Even with a confession I still have difficulty believing or understanding it.

#146 I think you're mostly reacting to his talkative opponent. I'm not a strong enough player to know which ideas were & weren't original. I do think he cares about teaching an audience; time will tell.

His account isn't closed although it's difficult for banned players to find opponents.
Oh God!
We fell into a trap like idiots...
The mods were correct , the case is closed.
Apologies to the moderators for misjudging them.
And what about the first video he uploaded? So touching and emotional... What can I say?
@Unthinkabl3 ,

No , of course not. I am 43 years old , I've had my share of this world...
But I guess I am still a romantic fool , you are right.
