No official word, but seeing as this is coming from his childhood friend the rumor is probably true.

In 2006-07 I played a ton of LHE and grinded exclusively limit games. Mostly because I was able to make a ton of money as a prop (110% rakeback!). However after reading Dusty's blog and watching videos I began to acquire an interest in the NL games and began switch my focus over. Nowadays with no home game I play 0% limit games (which sucks), but I attribute my conversion and love for NL/PL games to Dusty. Such sad news to hear
