2 is not possible.
Amir Ban explained that he never said something similiar to what vincent
described.
Vincent admit that he has no proof that he is telling the truth.
I am not going to post something negative about another person when I have no

I think that vincent's behavior is encouraging lies and I am against it.
I believe Amir
Amir is innocent because there is nothing that was proved against him when it is
clear that vincent's behavior was bad.
