Anyone else think that Linus, like a cockroach, will survive this?

Lately we've seen youtubers with way less business and PR savvy weather similar harassment scandals by basically ducking out until the heat dies down, and then releasing a careful statement disputing the most direct / least substantiated claims. Meanwhile Linus probably has an MBA or equivalent in experience and knew to shut everything down immediately when the sexual harassment claims dropped and hire a 'third party investigator.'

By the end of this nobody will care about the prototype shit, all that will matter is whether the sexual harassment claims can be substantiated. And most likely the investigation will end in a statement like "we couldn't find any concrete evidence this happened, but regardless LTT has ramped up HR to make sure nothing like it CAN happen." And based on other channels, that will be enough for most of the audience to accept and move on.

I just have no faith in anyone receiving consequences for this kind of thing if it's true, because most often it doesn't seem to happen. It may seem right now that the whole world besides some CE trolls have walked away from LTT, but I just saw the same happen for SuperMega for a couple days of them staying quiet until they released careful statements that basically defused all the attention.
