I was on a hiatus during that big drama, so I'm not entirely sure what the evidence against him really was, but what I've heard all seems somewhat subjective. I totally agree with Nuke, he was always a nice guy and I got the impression he was just having fun playing the game. And truthfully I wouldn't be the player I am today without him; legit or not, his videos inspired me to work on my aim, and I'm happy with the results.
I do not know how good he was without the aim bot but he was clearly using one in his video "Fencing with Cerberus". Back during the drama I analyzed it and posted about it several times. It's not subjective at all, he was aimbotting and there was proof for it.
That doesn't mean he was a bad person or that he didn't help and inspire others. I don't know. I never met him, played with him or even spoke with him. I don't care if he cheated or not, I just added my analysis of the video to the thread and my 15+ years of online gaming experience (and a certain familiarity with tools, cheats and so on) mean that I am 100% sure he was using an aim bot. I'd bet real money on it, too.
There are two things I don't understand though:
1. How did no one realize he was cheating? He was getting triple headshots while walking around a corner, while the screen was shaking. The people he played with were quite good, too. No one is consistently that much better than their peers.
2. Why would anyone want to play with an aim bot all the time? What's left to do then? Click 100 times for extraction? Doesn't sound like fun.
Anyway.
I'd feel much more social if Mass Effect 3 would recognize my mic and if Origin In Game would stop screwing with my game. I basically like all of you guys and would enjoy playing with you but without a means to communicate or even join your games it's not going to happen.
