Turns out he and his brother are doing fine unlike two other certain banned members: https://www.dailydot.com/layer8/ed-krassenstein-interview-twitter-suspension

Quote
Krassenstein said that Wohl and Laura Loomer—who was banned for Islamophobic tweets—called him after he and his brother were suspended.

He said that they were “trying to get us to band together with them in order to challenge internet censorship.”

Asked about those conversations, Ed told me “well, Jacob Wohl called and I can’t stand him, so I basically just hung up on him. Laura Loomer, she’s kind of wacky but I don’t despise her by any means, she called me and I didn’t pick up so she left a voicemail,” adding, “I’ve always said it — Twitter is a private company, they have the right to ban whoever they want. You see the conservatives attacking them saying they’re going against freedom of speech but freedom of speech doesn’t apply to private companies.”


In fact, throughout our conversation, Ed Krassenstein seemed hardly bothered by the loss of his Twitter account.

That runs in contrast to Laura Loomer, who was so shaken by that development in her online life that she chained herself to the doors of Twitter’s headquarters and bellowed into a microphone that she was the victim of Jack Dorsey’s vendetta.
