There's a lot more to it.
Edon.Garden has been in the code for at least a year, the voat.co/about page that said the contact email was <hello@edon.garden> & that Edon Gardens owned the Voat mascot.
But the trademark was expired since... hmm, 2017 ot 2018, you can look that up easily. Odd isn't it?
Even before Kape bought PIA, London Trust Media (PIA) had been known to sponsor basement projects. Some of them they acquired after they ran out of money, like linux journal.
They were also behind snoonet, the reddit irc, the admin of which Putt had mentioned being well acquainted with.
My hypothesis is that Putt sold out Voat, made a business deal with his intellectual property "Edon" which is also in part the work of every goat that gave their time testing on the preview site. He probably used Voat for more testing until he was done & then he killed it. Edon is still listed under Imperial Family's investments.
Now that he's made his shekels, he doesn't care anymore.
