I couldn't agree more with your statement. Someone quickly makes an 
accusation by the way the domain and hosting was done anonymously. It's 
hosted by https://ititch.com/ with Privacy Protected Whois Contact 
Information by "Privacy Protection Service INC d/b/a 
PrivacyProtect.org". If they are going to make such a statement they 
could at least state who they are. The site has several resource links 
to a GitHub Repository and even links to Jacob's Github Account (or what 
appears to be). I'm not sure if they are trying to make it look like 
Jacob made the site himself (if so it was done from a private 
repository). It might be worth mentioning that http://www.appelbaum.net/ 
is offline at the moment. I'm not sure if it's been like that or not. 
Any thoughts.
