Does you know who still cube anymore?

[Hadley4000]

Does the speedcuber who was cought cheating at bld solving still cube?

Has anyone talked to ****** ****? Do y'all know if he has just quit cubing?

 

[DAE_JA_VOO]

Who cares. He cheated. I couldn't care less how good he is/gets or what vids he posts.

 

[Dene]

I hope he is still cubing. Krazy Kuti is still awesome (I don't really hold a grudge against him. Of course I am morally obligated to disapprove of his cheating, but the money is really the big issue, as it is of actual value (whereas "sentimental" value means crap, really)).

 

[joey]

There was a recent picture shown of him still cubing. Can't rememeber where it was.

 

[andrewvo1324]

I also think Kuti is an awesome cuber and speedsolver overall. I mean he is probably still better then us at Blindsolving D: without the cheating.

I saw the same picture as joey. It was on some hungarian picasa album or something He was doing 4x4 too ...

I think he will come back and show everyone that he can do it w/o cheating. However, as we all know, he was good in most of the categories he competed in, I bet he's working harder than ever.

 

[masterofthebass]

He's not coming back unless he returns the money he stole... that's it period.

 

[Stefan]

Hmm, did the winners actually get the winner prizes by now?

 

[pcharles93]

They should have. If they didn't, it's like me killing someone and not getting thrown into a juvenile detention center, enrolled in group counseling, and not having to pay a fine, or community service.

 

[Stefan]

Well, duh! But can you also answer the question?

 

[pcharles93]

No. No, I cannot answer the question, but I can answer the one you just asked.

 

[Dene]

I hope he does pay the money so he can come back. He won't be very popular but I bet he can sub9 5x5x5 BLD.

 

[genwin]

I think he should come back better than ever... sort of redeeming himself and getting back the respect of his competitors...

 

[Stefan]

He's not coming back unless he returns the money he stole... that's it period.

I hope he does pay the money so he can come back.

Why can't he come back without returning the money?

I bet he can sub9 5x5x5 BLD.

How much?

First question: Apparently he isn't allowed to compete again until he pays it back.

Second question: I don't gamble (it's against my religion). I wouldn't put huge amounts of money on it though. If I were (and I could afford it) I may put $50 on it. Of course, the conditions in which it were proved would be a process of great debate.

 

[Stefan]

So you're saying he can't come back before returning the money because he can't come back before returning the money? Now that was an empty answer.

Yes, it's always so easy to "bet" if you know what you "bet" about can't be tested. I believe he can't do it, otherwise he would've. Apparently full-solve cheating was the entire method so I have no idea what he's really capable of.

 

[masterofthebass]

OK Guys... no more talk about what he can or can't do. If the Thread doesn't get back on topic, I'm just going to close it... I really don't even see why the thread is still open.

If you look at the WCA forum on this topic, you'll see that returning the prize money is one of the requirements.

 

[Erik]

That's something apparently not all WCA members agree on. I believe Tyson thinks the ban is for 3 years and starts when he gives back the money, but Ron thinks the ban is for 3 years, has already started and will be 2 years if he gives back the money....
