That is a straight-up lie, by your own admission.

It also makes it sounds like the current hosting situation is unsafe, which is

Again, those are big red flags. That sounds a hell of a lot less trustworthy 
than an FFlabs affiliate that we know in first person.

So what? My point is about relative corruption statistics, not absence of any
