He left out a few important details. But he did successfully destroy the straw man that Epstein got specific lines of code inserted into the code base, something literally no one is claiming.

What he fails to address is the obvious philosophical shift that core has undergone over the last 5 -10 years. Where they once showed shitcoiners the door, now they embrace spam on the blockchain. Was Epstein an influence in this shift? Hard to say but core devs have some explaining to do. Especially ones with direct financial dealings like Bryon Bishop.
