Where is 'charmles'? Fraud?

Hello guys! My name is Nana and I am a newbie gamedev. I participated in the "I can't write but I want to tell a story" game jam, organised by a guy called 'charmles'.

The thing is that the jam ended on August 12th, and two months later he said that he was not having a lot of time and he would come up with the jam winners soon. But a couple of days ago I noticed that this guy deleted the discord server where he would tell us any news, and he deleted as well his itchio account and the jam. He also deleted an older game jam called "I can't draw". 

I don't care about the jam results or the winner, but this guy asked for "support" (in a money way) and I am afraid that someone has paid him for nothing.

Does anybody know anything about this charmles? Do you think it could be a fraud?

Thanks!

I recently saw this aswell! I also submitted a game for the I can't write jam, and would like to know what happened

I think we all want to know what happened... at least we deserve an explanation

Same, I have asked in the AngrySmile discord, they know nothing about what happened. His twitter account is nowhere to be seen, his discord is also gone (and I was in it). For facts, charlmes wrote that he was moving from his home while the jam was ending and has a new job. I heavily doubt it is a scam (he was very active in the community and did the jams for free) either way he didn't got that much money in his patreon. It appears that he may have taken a break from the jams duo of of the already mentioned events which in addition with great amount of games to be reviewed adds a lot a pressure. That's the only other conclusion I can get to.

Yeah, I really hope it isn't a scam and hopefully we will know about him soon. Thanks for you reply!
