I'm in the SC3 group and I think there's a few reasons why Mike Kennedy is still able to show up to the meetings.
- Kennedy is long time friends with the founders of SC3. The Coleco Chameleon debacle was briefly mentioned in the FB group, but they gave the usual benefit of the doubt to their long time friend.
- The vast majority of the members there are out of the loop with Kennedy's shady dealings. Heck, quite a few people I know from the group don't even actually know who Kennedy is.
- For the members who do know, they either don't want to cause a scene by confronting Kennedy or they simply don't care about the "drama".
I can't say everyone is welcoming him with open arms, but I feel its more like an "elephant in the room" situation and no one wants to bring it up. He won't get banned from SC3 until he screws over one of the founding members. Sure they're long time friends, but we all know that doesn't mean a damn thing when we consider Kennedy's recent actions. I wouldn't be surprised if he screws over someone in SC3 soon and when that happens, I hope that gets him banned from the group.
