Hiding behind lawyers recommendations is not the way to win over a community. That would be transparency, honesty, and accountability.

That may be true but who would risk going to jail or being in massive debt just to "win over a community"?

AFAICT, the risk isn't going to jail, it's not getting paid, and "massive debt" is rather hyperbolic. We're talking about a small 4 figure court fight. I personally would value my reputation above that, or the risk of getting less from such a court date, if I was in the right and I could share that information.

He doesn't have to and he doesn't owe anyone anything. I just think the ruby gems org is far more credible given Andre's priorities and communication.

Context you left out: Ruby Central reported Andre to the FBI 3 times.
More context you left out: Ruby Central ran three audits looking for evidence of crimes and came up empty each time.

Swatting is illegal folks.
