Sexual harassment: Nicolas Dandrimont & Debian Account Managers collective gullibility on Jacob Appelbaum
I previously wrote a high level overview of how Debian falsified harassment statements against Jacob Appelbaum.
Now it is time to look at the detail. Here is an exchange between Enrico Zini and Nicolas Dandrimont. They are both members of the Debian Account Managers team.
The key thing to note here is they are simply cutting and pasting smears about harassment from the Tor Project. The smears they are cutting-and-pasting do not come from real police or a court.
The Tor Project claims they hired an independent investigator. What qualifies somebody to be an investigator?
When claims were made about Jeffrey Epstein visiting MIT, the MIT management hired the law firm Goodwin Proctor to conduct the investigation. They told everybody that Goodwin Proctor was doing this work. People could bypass MIT and give reports directly to the lawyers. At the end of this process, MIT published the full report and the names of those who worked on the investigation.
Every step taken at the Tor Project was the opposite of the process followed by MIT. Their statement does not give any link to the report itself. Their statement does not identify the name of the investigator, the name of their firm or their credentials.
