Until they post evidence, legal counsel comments on it, or its reported by a news agency its a bit moot. I personally would have gone full nuclear and posted all evidence to put pressure on the school already by now. If I'm already defacto expelled I'd have nothing to lose by putting this on blast. Its weird that he hasn't posted anything given the retaliation he is receiving, hence why its hard to take completely seriously.

Jeez, somebody not going immediately full mental meltdown fully public for reason X Y Z should be immediately dismissed. You have 0 info about him or his life, so it would be wiser to stop passing clueless judgements.

  The only clueless judgment is one that doesn't ask for evidence.

  Looks like brainrot has reached HN too. "0 info about their life" is exactly the reason why one cannot be certain about their story - neither trust nor mistrust is warrented yet.

  OP wanted this scrutiny and is using it to advertise himself to employers. Any analysis, criticism, or doubt is what he asked for. He should "show receipts" (emails at least) if he wants people to take his word for it.

    While I agree that by going public on LinkedIn and HN scrutiny is fair game, he might still not want the scrutiny and/or be surprised by it.

      I guess we could chalk up any naive misconception of what would/could happen on his part to his inexperience and youth - but not his father, a founder with a long career, who just "stoked the flames". At this point - especially considering the overwhelming and almost consensus opinion in this thread yesterday - if they haven't shut up and talked to a lawyer yet, it MUST be a deliberate decision

Not weird at all if lawyers are involved.

  Presumably lawyers are not involved on the UW side, because if they were, they'd be freaking out at their client's blatantly illegal behavior and telling them to immediately unlock registration.

  Interesting that the article skirts around the part where they imply they’ll lift the hold of and when he gives them the ip/works to build a solution for them unpaid.
