In my personal views, any way we slice it, all involved parties remaining anonymous just seems like the best route. Realistically, what does the person coming public do for the FIRST community and, possibly more importantly, the 12 Einstein teams. Obviously 1114 wants the team/individual to come forward, but what obligation does the team/individual have? Yes, it would be the "Bigger man" thing to come forward. But they don't need to come out publicly to apologize. I would recommend that the person in question write a personal letter to each of the 12 Einstein teams, FIRST, and MAYBE an anonymous letter addressing the FIRST community. I don't think we have any business knowing, personally, who the person or team is.
That's just my view. Maybe I'm being to forgiving or careless. Oh well.

The real risk is statistical. If we know the team by admission then the number of suspects for the individual is reduced to below 300 people. Then all you need to do is cull the list of former team members from the last year and you're down below 50 people who could have done the deed. That's actually a small enough number that a dogged investigator will find the person in question shortly and with specifics.
I wouldn't be surprised if FIRST has bound them legally to silence it would be the smart move.
