Several reasons to wait 15 years come to mind:

- at first, maybe he wanted to focus on anything else for a while. Shame, stress and anger don't always diminish when you share something on the Internet ;)

- at first, maybe he was worried it would jeopardize his colleagues' careers

- maybe he was worried it would jeopardize his own career

- maybe someone intimidated him

- maybe he didn't have the bandwidth to share this for a while

- maybe he found more fulfillment doing something other than talking about this, and stuck to that for a while

- maybe he was waiting for a good moment to share this message, and decided now was the time

Can you think of a reason why he'd be dishonest that's more likely?
