<< it sounded as though the organization was negligent to follow up when the story broke. Your information now suggests that the publisher has made repairs from his end. >>I suppose there is some room for interpretation here, but in my opinion not much.
Let's suppose for a moment that we swallow the reviewer's far-fetched story about "saying that it wasn't him who sold the cables but a friend to whom he had loaned them". As a manufacturer, I for one, would not be happy if the gear I loaned for review was loaned to a reviewer's "friend". Especially without my permission. And especially if that "friend" sold the gear. But as I said, that story seems far-fetched to me. I can't imagine that I would loan a "friend" some hi-fi equipment and he would sell it on Audiogon without my knowledge. But maybe I just have higher standards for friendship than do some.
As far as I have been able to determine, there has been no action taken against the reviewer. I don't work at the magazine, so I'm not privy to all of the internal goings-on. But he certainly has not been fired which is what JA correctly did in a somewhat similar situation over a decade ago.
As far as "repairs", I am told that the publisher (not the reviewer) has repaid the manufacturer for the cables. So in some sense, the situation has been "repaired". However, in my opinion there has been a large violation of trust between the magazine and the manufacturer, as well as the magazine and the readers, that has not been repaired. YMMV.
