Appelbaum hasn't commented on the results of the investigation so far, but a New York Times source says he's preparing a response.

The investigation may also be useful for shedding light on broader problems within Tor, at least until very recently. Two community members also played a part in Appelbaum's incidents, for example, and aren't part of the flock any longer. Tor has already taken some dramatic steps to mend its image, including replacing its board and hiring new directors for administration and human resources, but it may learn a few extra lessons about creating a welcoming environment for women.
