@QiaochuYuan my impression as to why i was sworn to secrecy was "keep quiet because we're scared of retribution" ... then something shortly before i tweeted my original warning made me believe no one was planning to say anything *ever* after i tweeted it i got some angry DMs telling me i should have kept quiet, again w no one telling me anyone was ever planning to go public... so then when my friend sent me the criminal record i posted it without trying to coordinate with anyone
