Appelbaum and Tor

So, we all know that Appelbaum was kicked from tor due to the whole rape mess (while DJB's testimony was ignored). Does that mean that he can never contribute code to tor again? Was this all a trick to stop scientists from being involved in tor?

Thanks asshole, meanwhile none of my posts was a spam.

That's because it's not true. He left on his own and it might have been related to the rape thing, but he certainly didn't get kicked because of it.
