It also seems really stupid. I would not be surprised if he got threatened with lawsuits from the named players.

  On what grounds? They're not making any claims, they're just noting the fact that interesting and unlikely things happened to these guys' odds (public data) during matches. They've gone through a reasonable degree of trouble to make sure their numbers are completely right too.

    The original authors published accurate data. The medium author accused named individuals of cheating.

      They're not, read again, in fact they start with a disclaimer explicitly stating they are not commenting on the allegations, only de-anonymising the data.

    I'm not necessarily saying it's illegal, or unethical. I just think it would be a bad idea. It looks like they have done decent work and have not accused players of cheating. But the issue is making international news, so I'm definitely assuming some named players are talking with lawyers about how to deal with this. And I personally would not want to deal with those lawyers, even if I had done nothing illegal or wrong.
