What the reddit thread doesn't delve into is the background behind all the COC bootleg controversy before Lloyd got caught. His original stance was if the bootleg wasn't sold for profit, then bootlegging it wasn't illegal.
Then he denied attempting to sell it, deflecting blame onto his friend once he realized he was caught doing something illegal.
However, his "friend" was reached out to via email and took an order to sell 20 books at the cost of $10 USD a book.
When pressed for details about this arrangement, notice what Arthur states about an "arrangement" with him and Cedars. I thought it was only a case of "my friend published the book, not me!"?
