...that's a pretty flimsy excuse - "a friend I loaned them to sold them" - sorta like the dog ate my homework.The reviewer should be fired, IMO, since his actions resulted in damage to the magazine's reputation and credibility - really the only thing it has.
Back in the mid-1980s, a TAS reviewer who was a professional photographer traded some photography work to a manufacturer for some equipment. The policy was that any equipment purchases had to go through the magazine. The reviewer was publicly fired.
