This is somewhat related speculation. Also something that people may not be aware of or know the whole story behind. I think Josh bought PPP off. While PPP was fairly smalltime, he was gathering a (rabid) following at a decent rate. During that time, a lot of people were turning on Josh and openly attacking him on the forums. It was mostly over the Dick stuff and Josh tried to just hand out bans and weather the storm. Then PPP got ahold of the Blockland stuff and started calling Josh out for it.
Very shortly after this, PPP did "the great lemon heist". Josh donated over $800 in lemon crypto on dLive to him. One could argue, and PPP does, that it was just jokes! Haha it's funny he got all that money and cashed it out, right? Immediately after that, PPP stopped talking about Josh outside of anything but glowing commentary and defending him. Around this time is also when PPP and Godwinson seemed to be at odds. I believe that Godwinson was disappointed in PPP and fucked off. In fact, that moment seemed to be the breakdown in PPP's autistic train in general.
I firmly believe Josh bought PPP's silence on the matter. PPP was one of the most effective critics that Josh had to deal with and left unchecked, no telling how many more people would have turned. PPP's antics even brought Vordrak back into the spotlight. For someone who screeches into the void about how the Blockland stuff is so old and no one cares anymore, he sure is quick to act when anyone is spreading the info.
