He assumed personal responsibility rather than institutional. At the time, everyone in the community expressed alarm that that happened, because 1) and this is obvious, there's no way a single guy would be responsible for the entire fallout and 2) because it sets a bad precedent about what companies can do with their PoC wrt web PKI. It also meant a loss in institutional knowledge about how things worked.

- MotherFlower 2y agoHis resignation was merely a tactic to diffuse the situation. He didn’t actually leave—he's still there, active as ever.
