Odell owned trusting without verifying, and he certainly deserves to he held accountable for his poor judgment, but he also apologized earnestly, and should be forgiven. That takes character and is very difficult, to set pride aside and take it on the chin. He also probably owes NVK an apology for betraying his trust and outing him as aware of false/pseudo entropy vulnerability right after it was shipped, but (obviously) in hindsight, even as Odell meant it for evil (bragging about his guide), God meant it for good (revealing NVK's knowledge about the fraud). Odell should be reconciled to the plebs over the coming months and years, in my opinion. His investment company will likely catch some form of financial liability in addition to losing their entire exit opportunity with Coinkite. God is good at justice. We are crummy at evil.
