I can only assume at this point he had no planned exit. After lots of calls to his other business adventures and a number of other places, I have found that any position he held at any place: Chapter President at the Global Blockchain Assoc, CSO at MedChain, Linkedin, BFYP website, even the places he was due to do speaking engagments.

ALL of them have been relinquished. not abandoned... as in he had to quit them before going AWOL.

this had to be planned. Maybe quickly, maybe all in one day. But in hindsight he didn't want to completely screw people. He could have pulled the plug on the BFYP servers and cut us all off, but he didn't.

That I am thankful for.
