I remember reading this story at the time (2020) and wondering if the project was released on Github in the public sphere at least as some positive net benefit of all the work that was invested. To me going into a risk environment like this you have to think, well at least if it all goes wrong then there will be this new body of knowledge available that wasn't there before so all your hard earned blood sweat tears and treasure won't just evaporate in to thin air. Not sure what this guy did but I hope e was something!
