While what I am suggesting may be interpreted as "not GP" I want to remind folks that it is neither gracious or professional to not have personal accountability for your actions.

I too waited a couple of days before I post. I read the letter, the report and every post on CD regarding this. I agree with Greg and others that the team and the individual should come out in the open and explain what happened. Let's not worry about other people's reaction when they find out. If they want to be angry, let them be angry. If they want to hold a grudge against the team forever, let them do that. If they want to forgive and move on, let them do that. We have no control on what other people think. It should not be a reason whether the individual and the team should come out in the open or not.
I am not making wild speculation here. Based on what I have read and putting my logic hat on, the individual seems to be one of the mentors of one of the Einstein teams. Based on the report and posts on CD, three of the four alliances can be cleared for various reasons. That leaves one alliance of 3 teams. Considering what happened in the semifinal round, there is motive why this individual may want to talk to the FTAs. This part is speculation so I am not going to name the team. I may be completely wrong here.
I think the team will come forward and do the right thing. I also don't think they should accept the free registration for next year. Let's give them some time. The report just came out over the weekend. They probably need to have a team meeting to discuss this and let everyone on the team know and draft a proper statement.
