It's still the case. Redon doesn't communicate with pew or scotch at all. He even has pew on ignore.
One Piece leaks are the funniest I've ever seen. But we have to differentiate 2 things. Redon doesn't pay anything for the chapter information, he gets the material for free, thanks to fortunate circumstances. So he isn't much interested to make profit by posting stuff early as others, who pay a lot and need to make revenue with twitter / x posts. It was even said that the one piece raws price went up a lot recently.
