I have done as you asked (to the extent that I could).
This is a bummer, for sure. It is hard when those we care about deeply let us down, especially when done in such a public manner.
With that said, we all need grace and forgiveness, even though none of us deserve it.
I sincerely hope your brother learns from this experience and ends up better for it.
I have had multiple instances this semester of students plagiarizing essays using ChatGPT (to varying degrees). In all instances, I initiated and enforced consequences. However, in an effort to emphasize learning and character-building ahead of mere punishment, in each instance the consequences I brought to bear were less than they could have been.
Even so, the most egregious violations received the harshest consequences.
Thank you very much sir. To say I am deeply hurt by this experience will be an understatement. I have smashed his phone in a fit of rage. I am so embarrassed because I was about to throw everything away to defend him. I see him typing these posts everyday thinking he is putting in the work. I would have suspected foul play when he stopped coming to me to review his posts.
This was my response to the said post that was initially flagged:
I just wanted him to be engaged in something productive before he gets into college. I will take the blame for nudging him to do something he doesn't like. He should find his path.
I will ensure he powers down and sends every hive he has earned wrongly to null. He should work to get himself another phone. That is certainly not coming out of my pocket. And if he ever comes back to hive he should beware that he has a reputation to rebuild.

By all means, you need to follow your own conscience and follow the principles you affirm to be true and trustworthy.
With that said, if I were to damage the property of one of my kids as a result of my own anger about their misdeeds, I would be forced to hold myself responsible for their loss.
I am lenient with my kids when they break something by accident. I extend no leniency when they break something because they allowed their anger to get the best of them. If I hold them to that standard, I need to hold myself to the same standard.
Please don't misconstrue any of this as me saying what you should do. This is me, lamenting with you and recognizing how challenging relationships with loved ones can be.
I sincerely wish you and your brother the best. I hope that, somehow, your relationship with each other can grow stronger as a result of this, rather than the other way around.
I let my anger get the best of me, that I admit. As for my relationship with my brother, nothing has changed. I have forgiven him. However, he has to work to regain his reputation--whenever he is able to come online, and I won't be helping him with that. If he doesn't see hive as an opportunity to better his life and gain valuable relationships, then maybe he should find his path, I have done my bit as his elder brother. I take responsibility for pushing him to do better. Maybe he needs time to figure things himself. He is a good lad but his actions have consequences. Hivewatcher can do as they see fit.
I hope each of you finds that unique confluence where your skills and passions overlap with opportunities to joyfully and delightfully meet the needs of others.
As I try to teach my students, capitalism at its core involves finding unique ways to serve others, and to do that better than anyone else.

You are right. It is sad to attempt but I just drilled the truth out of him. He doesn't deserve to earn a penny here.
I will like to applogise to @hivewatcher and ask that his ban remain permanent for lying to me and the hive community.
Hello.
The user iamchucks was defrauding with Chat GPT.
When caught, he kept repeating untruth denying it although the evidence is clear.
Before attacking HW and defending an abuser who tries to scam Hive reward pool, please first familiarise yourself with the evidence.
Thank you.
Noted. My apologies once more.
@trostparadox kindly help me downvote this post to zero. Thank you sir.

I do wish you both the best.
