A thought: how did those logs get leaked?

I’m assuming it was a small, private skype chat, so any rando who managed to sneak in would be readily noticed and banned as his name would stick out in the user list.

A hacker? Someone uploaded the logs somewhere and they stumbled upon them? Why upload them? Everyone was there, and can keep their own logs on their PC. There’s no compelling reason to have these sitting online.

So most likely it’s an inside job which raises an interesting question: Who? Who got so fed up, so sick of being involved in this madness, that they decided to break free and blow the whistle? Because driving out someone that deep in the koolaid can’t be easy.
