Maybe he did this at other events to gain competitive advantage? Those are my beliefs, and I'd like to see this same person address those beliefs. Even if he confirms or denies this, I honestly think more than just the Einstein teams deserve an apology. Yes these are bold statements, but I am perfectly confident that I am not the only one with these beliefs.

Even though you seem to be aware of the weight of your words, I think this indictment of Team 548 is too harsh. Your conjectures bring into question the integrity of their entire team, which I don't think is warranted. Especially considering that they apologized to the community as a whole in one of the most public manners they could manage. I truly hope that there are not many "with these beliefs," as it would indicate to me that the community has lost faith in the integrity of its peers, regardless of their reputation.
Otherwise, Kim's statement accurately sums up my thoughts:

The team could and SHOULD only have issued their understanding of what happened, which means they are 100% reliant on what the mentor told them happened. Whether the mentor told them the entire truth or not, what are we so worried about? The person is banned, the vulnerability fixed, tons of more issues were found and tediously documented, so lets move on. People that are worried about "discrepancies" are you looking to call the team or the mentor a liar? What good does that do? Or are you legitimately interested to know if there was "a second attacker"? And if so, are we just on our next witch hunt?
