The death of Rudy Ferretti is weighing heavy, but in a different way. The signs had been there for a very, very long time, and while I don& #39;t believe this individual is responsible for the demons, he is responsible for making things worse:

Walter was, and still is, an advocate for the trading cards that he has been producing. Heck, I have two myself. But you know who else had two, even when we knew what kind of person he was?
The aforementioned Rudy. 2/?

If there& #39;s anyone in the community that should have spoken out or taken a harsher stance, it& #39;s the founder of that community. You can say that& #39;s not Walter& #39;s style, and I would argue that still makes him an enabler. 3/?
Now that& #39;s not to put everything at Walter& #39;s feet. There are other members of the classic community who empowered Rudy, and they should all be held personally accountable for giving him a platform, but it was Walter& #39;s that started it all. 4/?
This does not touch other accusations that have been laid at his feet. I know there& #39;s many, but those I do not have as much direct information on. I feel that those that do may chime in here. However, I am now absolutely ashamed of my work with Walter. 5/5
