Mathew Solnik is not impressed, full text:

"The article that has been published regarding me is a complete hit piece. It provides no hard evidence and is based on pure rumor. It’s sad to see the publication stope to such levels. This is not worth any further response and will get none. End of Story."

A pretty classic non-denial denial. "No hard evidence" and "pure rumor" is not technically a denial- he's not saying the story is false.


I notice he didn't deny the use of dev mode debug devices. I personally don't see what the big deal is apart from implying magical hacker skills - reverse engineering even from a debug device is still impressive work.


No hard evidence of what exactly? His reply doesn’t make much sense. Other than maybe he doesn’t think it looks flattering when you’re abruptly let go from 2 jobs and your consulting venture doesn’t pan out.


This is pretty silly. Solnik could probably get drunk, spin round in a circle 100 times quickly, and fall ass-backwards into better consulting gigs than almost anyone on HN.
