As far as I can tell, most of those accusations come from one person,
and have no base in reality.

It's a common cognitive bias to assume that bad things happen to bad
people, and good things happen to good people. This is called the Just
World Fallacy, and it's so powerful it can make otherwise intelligent
technologists accuse their colleagues of being secret kiddie-porn
mafioso.
