Could it be that Raffles doesn't have anything real on this and is just stirring the pot?

It seems pretty simple to me:
Lucky seems to not be able to keep other writers on the site.

Whether this is because of drama between him and freelancers, differences in opinion, control freak, no need to pay freelancers for blogs if he doesn't see good enough money or traffic coming in, low freelance pay, or whatever rumors may be out there, the end is always the same. He has operated over the years as a heavily one man shop on the writing side, so why is everyone surprised he left when seemingly everyone else he's brought on as a freelancers has left? "James" left for a competing blog but he isn't the first OMAAT writer to leave, likely won't be the last & he's not the first blog writer who TPG has poached from another site.

TPG offered James a full time job and probably give himself a better lifestyle of non-stop travel vs. trying to fit in all that traveling while being a lawyer.

Are there juicy rumors floating around for this, or maybe I'm missing something? I love to rag on those oh so relatable travel bloggers but this seems to be a nothingburger.
