I've had to stay quiet about this matter for so long for a number of complicated legal reasons. I'm not going to talk about those, because they're between Cherp administration and their lawyer. My hands were tied, but now they're not.
It's time to address the elephant in the room. I do in fact believe the Thell sockpuppet theory. I, as someone who has worked with Thell for a considerable length of time on two separate projects, have seen a distinct lack of evidence that Insolent is or was a real and separate person from Thell.
I've seen the absolute joke of a contract, and I know that it's real. I also know that no version of any contract between the two that I've seen so far contains any information that would indicate they are two separate parties. They have been 'digitally signed', and as such lack a real signature, as well as any sort of means of getting in contact be it through mail, telephone, or a lawyer's office who supposedly looked the thing over and against all odds gave it the OK.
I've never seen Thell share a single DM with Insolent in private at any point. He cites the reason for refusing to provide this information as being a breach of privacy, however such expectations of privacy only seem to be applicable to him. From what I have seen he's very willing to breach the privacy of others if he has something to gain from it. This was, as far as I'm aware, the big (but not the only) reason why he was ousted from Cherp entirely. A fact which he laments as being a breach on Cherp's end of a deal, allowing him to refuse to give up a server which was already paid for. Claiming that he was owed more money because his contract ended early.
The straw that broke the camel's back was when he accessed the Cherp database and 'coincidentally' looked at a user's data claiming it was for testing purposes. This person was going to great strides to avoid him, showing up offline in discord and and not responding to anything publicly where he could see it. By looking at their data, he was able to discern that they were actually online and active, giving him the chance to continue to harass them for a response knowing that they're seeing it. I'm not going to name them out of respect for their comfort and privacy, but if they want to come forward at some point they can.
As far as I can tell, he began Cherp as Insolent and grew fond of someone there over time. He couldn't begin a relationship as Insolent though, that would not work out at all. I think that he faked her collapsing under the pressure that Cherp was causing, lashing out more and more, until he could step in himself as a savior in hosting Cherp. Making him as his real self involved and allowing him to get closer to his crush. He even had a 'falling out' with Insolent around this time (remember when he claimed his servers were sabotaged?). Things didn't turn out that way though, they weren't interested in that sort of a relationship.
It's at this point where bridges start getting burned. He acts out, he begins to get more irate. Problems continue to pop up, the only arbiter of truth about said problems being real of course are him. Problems which require downtime. It felt like he was doing everything in his power to separate himself from it all in a way that would inflict the most damage. To my surprise, him and Insolent are suddenly on good terms again despite the batshit things that he claimed she did.
I've spoken to other people he's worked closely with in the past on other projects and this seems to be a well defined pattern of behavior for him. He will burn a project to the ground if things don't go his way, allegedly.
There's a lot more to say, but I'll leave it at this for now. I don't trust him, I feel terrible that he's in charge of MxRP. I wish that he would have taken my or TT's offer to buy MxRP from him instead of going with some out of nowhere random that he only knows and can contact via a person who up until very recently he's been claiming to butt heads with (In case it isn't clear I don't believe AKI existed either).
I'm not going to tell anyone to not spend money on MxRP, but I hope that people understand they should be wary. He's given a lot of reasons to be skeptical, I think.
