Yeah, I downloaded it before it got pulled. The whole story is pretty insane. The theory among my friends is that the coder is a pretty reserved person, and internet fame wasn't for them. Personally, I could sure take a lot of abuse for 50k a day.

He did an interview with Forbes where he didn't want them showing his face and apparently smoked like 4 cigarettes in the 45 minutes. I'm sure he doesn't want anyone around him knowing how much money he made off of this.

I'm pretty sure you can't make anything on the internet under your own name without getting death threats.
