"398 people complained to Con Ops about the staff and were banned permanently."

Highly unlikely. You have to REALLY fuck up to get banned.

"An inside source, who shall remain anonymous, informed me that a few of the volunteers were paid illegally. My source told me that they (themselves) didn't take the money. Volunteering means that you work for free."

Wrong. You are compensated for gas/food. That isn't being paid, that is compensation. That is perfectly acceptable.

"The same source I talked to said that next year, Anime Expo may be changing the name to Japan Expo, and the prices for badges is going up even more. For all four days, $100. Premier pass is $175."

That...that once again isn't true. Japan Expo is in its own entity. And unless AX specifically announced it, the passes will stay at $80. No higher.

"If you lost your badge, you had to pay $45 for one. If you didn't have the money, then you wouldn't get your new badge. Simple as that."

This has always been a policy. Too often, people will say they "lost their badge" in an attempt to get their friends a free badge. It gets abused, and many other cons hold the same policy.

"Not to mention, the food on the food trucks was way over priced."

Welcome to food trucks. They're always a bit pricey because it's how they live. It's for quality food and worth the cost.

"Hurr panels had people standing cause there weren't enough seats so that's a fire hazard"

Then he goes,

"They weren't letting more people in after the panel was filled."

Could he/she be even more of a fucking autist. You never go full retard.

tl;dr entitlement, waah I didn't like how big cons run

Also, I have a direct statement from con ops:
"People are banned for multiple policy offenses or stealing. Breaking the rules is usually a 1 year ban. Theft is a 3 year ban. 2 lifetime bans were made, 1 for thefts totally over $300 and 1 for attacking LACC security.

No way we made 300+ lifetime bans."

Can't we just go back to posting kaiwai (Japanese for cute) females?
