No, I don't know what's happening to him or in what position he is atm. I don't even know who he is. I just stated a general fact.
Also, about merging your database with his, I personally think it is very wrong. You have sold it to another person, you can't use it even if he's dead, Its morally very wrong. I'm not saying I will protest or something, Its none of my cncern since I was not a part of the community, I'm just stating how things work. A deal is a deal and now that database legally belongs to him.
What if he takes legal actions against you, in case he come back only to find that 'his' database is being used on your forum?
