NO, no one is saying this. It's silly to even bring up behind-the-scenes allegations like this. Mikhail has long used a similar trick to deflect criticism (alleging there's a conspiracy of competitors against him). Don't fall to that level.
And yes, for the most part, the bulk of SinglePower's amps did/do sound good. It's Mikhail's various unethical business practices that deserve to be exposed to the light... the lying, the shoddy construction, etc. To keep that material hidden just does a disservice to potential purchasers. Mikhail has begun to behave especially strangely in the last two years, but he's been using lies to wiggle out of tight situations for a very long time (e.g. all the bogus claims he had filed patents for his amp designs in 2003). Eventually, character issues like this grow into something more.
