This person might not be, but let's not have other people trying to reference this as an excuse to do so. We're seeing it far too often as of late.
The fact that you can already find mentions of it with known owners means it's less rare than a lot of the random and completely unheard of stuff that does show up out of the blue.
It would be nice to see it dumped, because it is important that people work together, not try to exploit situations for profit, unfortunately when people start doing the latter we then also risk people faking sets in order to cash in on the situation too (again, not accusing this poster of this, but even with the Gaelco stuff I had one guy contact me, tell me he could help us, and then basically just offer me $400 for exclusive advance access to the SRAM dumps, there are unscrupulous people out there)
