I agree, publishing a story with such a strong claim and then having nothing to come out of it... That's insane. It seems like they had no evidence of anything

I agree, publishing a story with such a strong claim and then having nothing to come out of it... That's insane. It seems like they had no evidence of anything and just went by hearsay despite having very high ranking people in the involved companies denying their claims completely and categorically. It's unfathomable to me that they would dare publish something like that without having an ironclad case and even more damning that they never even bothered to retract it.
