  The article links to that, and also to this "decoding" of it: https://medium.com/@frabyn/decoding-jake-appelbaum-9fa75d060310#.4oh9b8jgo https://medium.com/@frabyn/decoding-jake-appelbaum-9fa75d060...

    Why decode it? Take it at face value: "I want to be clear: the accusations of criminal sexual misconduct against me are entirely false." "I’ve dedicated my life as a journalist, activist, and longtime member of the Tor Project to advocating for the transparency of public processes and to speaking out about the necessity of privacy, security, and anonymity. These are ideals that I will continue to uphold, despite the vicious campaign that is currently being waged against me." This guy spent two years in foster care when he was a kid. That kind of adversity, in my opinion, rears character.

      I think the point the "decoder" is making is that his denial is very carefully worded, and even taking him completely at face value, "I didn't do anything bad enough that I should be arrested for it" is a long way from "I didn't do anything wrong, and shouldn't be removed from this community".

        It reminds one of that episode of Dresden Codak in which Kim reacts to slanderous online articles: KR: I'm not a criminal; I've never even been convicted of a felony in this state! BB: That's an oddly specific phrasing.
