In February 2023, Rolling Stone released a detailed article on the discord within the band, mostly focusing on the issues between Chad Taylor and Hynes. Immediately after the article’s publication, Hynes sued Taylor for defamation. In August 2023, the Pennsylvania State Police charged Hynes with two felonies involving theft of nearly $4.4 million from the band’s business and its primary investor, though Hynes and the investor’s attorney claim that a settlement had been reached over such issues in August 2022. Taylor and Hynes settled their lawsuit in March 2025, under undisclosed terms. In a March 2025 affidavit, Taylor stated, “Many of the implications and quotations contained in this article were based on my limited knowledge at that time, and I have subsequently learned through discovery that many of my impressions were not complete.”
