Would not be surprised if some other entity tries to gobble it up.

Rather disgusting that he did this. I know their allegations, but I always felt a bit seedy about the site in the first place.

The Mary Sue is covering this,

but apparently there's also another person involved as well, Devin Faraci, who is alleged to have also assaulted employees and customers

I think a lot of people are scared to talk about this because he's such a well known name in the community. But the fact is that This HAS to be talked about. If people hand wave this other people will try it. It's like Eddie at DC, there are issues there, but still there's the problem of having women working with him, and while he has gone to seek help there's and undercurrent here that needs to be addressed. I know we have other issues right now in the states, but this is kind of important too. Young writers and editors in both film and comics are looking up to this guy and his actions should be frowned upon. I don't even know if he thinks he's in the wrong for this or not.
