He made (and I think still does) content for various other companies. That doesn't mean he was poached. It only means he got paid (if he was paid) to complete work (likely freelance work). Freelance work falls under a different legal category than traditional work does. Then we have the fact (if he was paid) his pay was likely in game currency. I'm no expert in such legal aspects but its possible he didn't legally need to declare because legally he might not be viewed as being paid. Anyways we got way off topic so I'll end my part of the convo.
