Lots of comments are interpreting "ex-admin" as someone who was fired and then after went and did this. Just want to float the possibility that "ex-admin" could also mean someone was employed there, then did this and is now no longer employed as a result of doing this.
(Btw, IMO there is no excuse or justification for any admin or exadmin to ever do this. Among many other issues is the fact he deleted the data/work of individuals who had nothing to do with whatever "problem" he has with Verelox )
What if their information was all secretly being leaked to intelligence agencies and there was no way to ever let them know except to burn everything?
There's probably excuses and justifications. I personally wouldn't do it and they're probably wrong for doing it but I don't want to jump to conclusions and moral absolutes so easily.
