Comment: the state of the leaked cod piece

As for identifying the downloader, it would depend on the audit trail that Twitter keeps for its repository, when code was pulled. Of course this would require someone being still an employee to interpret. Call is out for a forensic audit of Twitter My guess would be that at least from covid lockdown time VPN access to the Twitter company network was required, network access logs may give a pointer if kept long enough. Of course if this code snippet was central to the work of many programmers, the field of suspects would become a nightmare. Let's neither forget the possibility that the published code was copied in many pieces collected over a longer timeframe.

Do the gov't agencies have to pony up, e.g., NPS, BLM, USFW?

Government (and "multilateral") officials and organizations get a grey checkmark.

The money was taken out of employee paychecks but never reached the organizations. Benevity, the third-party platform that is used to facilitate the payments, told employees Twitter hasn’t yet approved the payments. After I started asking around about this yesterday Twitter said it is “actively working” to get the money to the NGOs.

Twitter was supposed to match these donations but that also has not yet happened.
