What is it about him you like?
His thievery?
His arrogance?
Please explain what the great qualities are that he has that allow you to "like him". 
I don't like him and the reasons are quite obvious. 
He can come back. 
Getbig certainly doesn't have a no criminals policy, but if he did come back, do you think he would truly be remorseful for anything and attempt to right his past wrongs?
I highly doubt it. 
He was always cool to me.....we got along with no problem.
Again, I don't support his poor choices or conduct towards others.
He clearly hit a rough patch in life because he didn't always act the way he did towards the end of his time on the board.
I just felt he was struggling quite a bit.   I'm just not a "kick a person while they're down" type of guy.  Felt different than say an arce who just flat out ripped folks off....a game of sorts.  I don't know the whole situation.  Groink seemed to change slowly and negatively so....like he was struggling.  
Again, I don't have it all figured out, but I personally understand what it means to act a fool in life LOL.
