I think this section might be in violation of the biography of living persons policy, in that it seems to be poorly sourced - there is only one article cited (other articles exist on the internet but from what I can see, they also refer to this same source) and the actual article itself would probably be considered poorly sourced as it's kind of written as an opinion piece with limited references itself (i.e. no secondary or tertiary citations).
Should this section be removed (or hidden until further citations can be provided) as per the instruction in the middle of the Talk section for this article, especially considering the seriousness of the content? "This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons.
