Apparently someone just released gooncode on reddit...

Erik offered a bitcoin in return for exclusive access so that no one else could download it, and the bitcoin was paid. Beyond that I do not know what happened.

I was going to post a reply earlier, and it has been bugging me since, but are you simply making an unbased claim that he offered money for exclusive access? It's no secret that he did probably pay the hacker, but do you have anything to back up the claim that he was trying to pay for "exclusive access"?
