This sounds to me like a personal business dispute that should not be aired out in public. Even if this is all true, and i would want to hear Ben's side of the story too before making up my mind, it's also not as if Blumenthal was financially crippled by Norton leaving with perhaps a somewhat bigger share than he was owed. Blumenthal still has a big and decently funded media organization at his disposal with the Grayzone whereas Norton is now presumably on his own.

agreed, and I think cornering him on a bus like that was a scummy move
