He also shared feelings of betrayal by those he trusted and emphasized his contributions to the industry, while acknowledging past mistakes but firmly denying any history of unethical behavior. The post concluded with Mirtl reflecting on the personal toll the situation has taken and his uncertainty about how to move forward.
