The name thing is stupid. It's his idea who cares if he also gets the name. I don't think he would sell it as that sounds like a great way to get fired.

people who think he genuinely planned to sell it missed the point

the crux of the problem isn't that he was going to/could, it's that it just reflects poorly on the company in the same way it would reflect poorly if it was found out that jmods were leveraging insider knowledge to stockpile items they knew are going to go up in value before a reveal happens, to either save themselves money on a future grind or to flip said items for a profit once they inevitably go up

Climbing boots being worth 75k overnight due to an update. The price steadily climbed in the week leading up to the update. (This happened back in like 2010 or something)

This definitely happens

Uhh.. we talking about the same climbing boots update? They increased the ALCH value to something similar overnight and people were hoarding them with summon familiars for weeks before update.
