They explained the posted message with a hack. The message was deleted by a moderator about an hour later.

Yes, that’s the one. We were many who read it shortly after it was written. My theory is that Matt Leman also read it, picked up the phone and called Trevor, learned about the derailed Ben Hermans situation and said: “let’s do this you and I instead”. Then he returned to Amiga.org to write: “This is a hoax. I spoke with Trevor today discussing business matters.” Now when we know more about the Ben Hermans situation regarding the AmigaOne leading up to that point, and how the Leman/Dickinson cooperation was formalized shortly after, I hold this explanation as more plausible than their “the account was hacked” explanation. Hacked? Really?!
