Honestly, everything about this is really sad. I, like may of you guys, have followed this thing for years, for many others, decades.

Actual decryption effort group didn't get to decrypt (a small but faithful community), the creator needed the money for medical procedures that he really believed was coming in. The solution feels like we all go cheated out of something. Lawyers are now involved and the value of the solution is rapidly plummeting.

No one's winning because of a small mistake.
