So Defango came out on livestream and said he personally was working with Thomas Shoenberger making the latest puzzle he's "been solving". If you watch his "solvings" there's a few amazing leaps that make it sort of obvious ie. pulling "clues" from a reference without a direct pointer. It's the kind of "puzzle" you see from attention seekers. Basically the only way to solve these puzzles is to be in the mind of the creator. A different dude famously wrote a book that led to 100k or some shit and did the same thing, only able to solve if you were in his head or just plugging and chugging like a madman. Stuff like oh pull these 3 letters out of this sentence in the middle of this paragraph in the middle of this chapter in the middle of this book that i pointed you to ... you had the clue! Ok buddy :) It seems like they had a business deal to sorta sew chaos and then profit off the media "storm" it created. Defango got screwed on the business side and decided to cut off his nose to spite his face.
TLDR ; Defangos been "lying" saying he's solving a puzzle he created in order to make money, his business partner (Thomas Shoenberger) screwed him on the money so Defango outed them both (himself and his partner). He did not expose El Libre so ... another load of bs from a bs'er.
El Libre, what the story on this person?
Was saying he didn't reveal how to decode the Liber Primus. A real cicada reveal imo would be saying not only this is who created the puzzle but this is the answer to the puzzel and why the puzzle was created. Defangos "reveal" was that he was faking later versions of cicada, didn't answer the real puzzle ie. decode the rest of the liber primus and didn't sufficiently explain why it was created. It seems like he got conned into conning people realized it and outed his own con lol. It's just some bs from a guy who still hasn't done anything real ie. solve the fucking puzzle that we know is real the liber primus.
he solved the real cicada 3301 puzzle right to the core.
then wheres the translation? can he post how he translated the liber primus? that's really what it comes down to man. The puzzle is the Liber Primus, that's the real Cicada puzzle and he hasn't solved it or if he has he hasn't shared lol which means he hasn't solved it ... this dude craves attention, he just admitted he faked cicada puzzles so he could solve them so people would watch and he could make money he just wasn't getting as much money as he felt he should to keep us his charade so he thought this would get him more attention.
