no, but thousands of people who were simply trying to make a better life for themselves were grifted by Austen and his merry gang of con artists

Sorry about the phrasing of my comment, reading it now it comes off as snarky.

I ask because before I attended, I read many posts by people who left Lambda with a bad taste and that put me off from attending. But I did, and now I could play in an ad copy. But that's my data point.

I'd like to talk to someone who had a bad time with Lambda, in a non combat context, because we clearly had vastly different outcomes and I clearly I'm missing or misunderstanding some important context.
