It's not whether we think it's true or not, Kramnik literally said he used someone else's account

Kramnik got suspended for 3 months, and the Gm, who let him use his account is suspended indefinitely. Which could be as short as being reinstated tomorrow, or as long as never.

Kramnik deliberately trolls chess.com. He is a living legend, so he figured he can do anything, and they will do nothing about it. I bet the suspension came as a surprise.

That is absolutely hilarious, guess I should have seen it coming though. The ones who complain the loudest always tend to be the ones doing something they shouldn't.

Sad.

It seems that Kramnik just keeps spiralling lower and lower.

Just saw a game between Gm VladimirKramnik 2975 and GM AnishOnyYoutube 3055.

And thought wow- that suspension over already?

Well the tweet mentioned that Kramnik is suspended from cash-prize events for 3 months.

He can still play casual games, I'm guessing. He just can't currently enter Titled Tuesday or other similar tournaments ...

Kramnik's accusations aren't very well thought out. Nakamura? Narodinsky? Please, Mr. Kramnik, just go away.

Kramnik acts like a cranky old man, but he didn't participate in an insurrection and didn't commit violent crimes.
