I cannot be certain what J. Randall Murphy has paid attention to and what he has ignored.
My gut take is he is a guy who already had his mind made up about Gene and has not actually read the UFO Trail blog posts, for example, nor scrolled through the 2018 begging email screenshots at @SchemeGeneRC. If he has looked at those things, I think he's somehow managed to dismiss them or fit them in with his already established conclusions. That's only my interpretation of course.
I think he's a fool for ignoring all the evidence, and compounding that foolishness by getting further entangled with Gene.
Just one thing that doesn't parse for me is, he has to know how it ended with Gene's last two co-hosts and I would think have some clue what each says about the man now. How does he imagine his experience will be better than theirs?
Then if he would just honestly take in the stuff at the UFO Trail blog, I mean, to me the picture those court documents paint of Gene is flat out repulsive.
Plus if you really look at the history of begging, helping him produce the Paracast is enabling a guy who doesn't care who he hurts so long as he gets money somehow. Then on top of that, that money hasn't helped him - he's begged, borrowed and stolen* and still wound up homeless, and dragged his wife and pet along for the ride.
I've no clue how one really helps Gene but I don't think propping up his failing operation is the answer. I have seen a lot of things I'd call helpful suggestions from Erickson and others. Whether or not Gene takes them...?
(* I would argue he's stolen from at least his last two landlords)
