Some valuable reactions on Discord:
In my opinion this is dividing the community as is a quite polemic decision, the team is rewarding the bad behavior of a dev breaking the TOS (or this is the accusations that have rounded the Discord lately), while they could hire other honest and skilled devs as Iproto who has been loyal to the game.
On the other hand I understand the decision as a way to effectively stop some of the BH users as probably Sylar will have enough data to expose those breaking the TOS either with his service or with others.
My main concern is the terms of the contract with him, I really hope that the team included clauses to prevent the clear conflict of interests and to punish this employee if his loyalty is broke in any point.
I'm not eager to judge a person's work beforehand so will be looking what the outcome of all this process is, this being said and has been warned by some other users as well, if the team fails with this decision, it's very likely that many users will loose all their trust in it. If they haven't lost it yet, as we can see in some comments on the Mav chat.
