In a few months they will try again with "a completely different and 100% trusted group with no ties whatsoever to Persona and/or Peter Thiel". By which I mean the exact same fucking company acting through a proxy. Don't let this theater prevent you from leaving to a better platform. It's still coming, they just want to wait for people to get complacent again.
