  1. Big drama drops about Hans' past as a cheater on Chess.com after Magnus withdraws from the tournament and rumors start spreading (from sources other than Magnus)

  2. Chess.com boots him due to his participation while there is ongoing cheating related drama possibly lowering the faith of players and spectators in the million dollar tournament

  3. Hans "confesses" to his past cheating while downplaying what he was caught for and admitted to.

  4. Chess.com shows receipts.

Chess.com involvement didn't start from Magnus withdrawing from the tournament. It started after many big figures started speculating and making it more widespread knowledge that Hans does indeed have a past of cheating on the site.
