The FinderAfter seeing everything, I believe was tipped off. Admitting it or not, her answers in John and Dave's IG Reel, Cache me Outside, she didn't really even have much of a grasp on it. I don't think she solved it at all. Is she to blame? Nah. Don't care. Lots of people were offering partnerships of thinkers teaming up with hikers. It's fine. If she lies, denies, or ultimately admits the truth, whatever, that's on her. Doesn't affect the outcome. She still keeps the treasure.

The ExposerThis guy was absolutely sore after not finding the treasure, especially after he had the tip off too and not getting there in time. Does it matter? Nope. Truth is truth, no matter the motivation behind it. I don't blame him nor fault him, and I don't care if he was a sore loser or not. He didn't win, and clearly wants the truth out there.

The LeakerNow this is interesting. Clear connections with the Hunt organizers (John and Dave). Weird account too. Obviously was seeking SOME money and was most likely asking multiple people who she/they knew were really interested in finding the treasure. How'd they get the solve? The leaked solve was FAR too accurate to be someone's actual solve, especially with how close it was to Dave's quick Youtube Video explanation. This person, somehow, has cheated.

The SourceSo, is the source Dave? John? Did this woman have access to... an office? A phone? Their Computer? Did one of them have it written down and she came across it? Did she hack them somehow? Or is there a conscious source? I lean towards the latter. I HOPE it isn't the truth. I hope worst case scenario is she was wandering on some job, had to pee, saw the computer left open, got curious, took some snaps, and went from there.

ConclusionI really like Dave & John, and while this year's hunt gives me mixed feelings, I still appreciate and love these hunts and what they do for everyone. If it is them, then the hunts are likely done. No one will trust or participate again, not to mention the hurt it may cause on their reputations for business. Worst case, John gave to the leaker. Best case, John is innocent. At the end of the day, someone cheated, and that really, really sucks. I'm not bitter myself, but I do think we all deserve an explanation and an honest admission.
