- arein3 2mo agoHe did not try to do that, he proposed a monetization scheme
- brandur 2mo agoThis is a distinction without a difference. Arko proposed to receive a copy of all RubyGems access logs containing full user PII. He'd accept this PII en lieu of dollars for secondary on call coverage, so a safe assumption is that he intended to monetize the extracted user PII in some way. I am sure he would deny this, but there's a point where you have to let the evidence we do have combined with common sense guide us to the most likely conclusion.
