Let's sum up:

Craig Oda cofounds TWICS at the beginning of the nineties.
He becomes President of TWICS.
He also becomes a legend in Japan7s Internet circles.
At the beginning of this year he leaves TWICS.
He goes to the US.
He comes back to Japan and returns to the US.
The above mumblings seem to indicate he's gonna leave Japan
forever.
He drops out of the scene and is last sighted in the UK.

Consequential question: What happened at TWICS ? 
Did they chuck him out or what ??????
If so, it would be a most hoorid deed for sure.
