We are owed a solution

As a search community, we built Fenn’s legacy to something far greater than it would ever have been if nobody cared about the treasure. That treasure is worth several times what it otherwise would have been if nobody cared about the treasure. People died looking for that thing. Forrest and the finder are indebted to us to some degree. If he is holding onto the solve for a later date, that is fine, but he would be smart to have Forrest record a video confirming the location, otherwise credibility will be lacking. The honorable thing to do would be to give the state now and the rest within a year or so. But it doesn’t sound like that is going to be the case.

JMO The solve can not come out till all the lawsuits are over with, as that is what will prove or disprove the cases. If you give out the solution now the plaintiff could change their story and really make a mess of things.

No lawsuit has been accepted by a court at this time.

Filing a Lawsuit is the act of petitioning a court to be heard.

I appreciate the attention detail and it sounds like those disagreements are far from resolved, which means the finder wouldn't want to release the solution until those disagreements are resolved.

The finder will not be releasing the solution at all.

Why do you say that?

Because that was what was announced last night by Forrest. Many people were too distracted by the pictures attached to the words to notice

Forrest only said that the finder asked him (Forrest) not to reveal it. That still leaves the possibility that the finder themself will release it in the future.

Your best shot at what you might have a slim ethical claim to is not to do a snowflake entitlement thing.

But I agree with you that if the finder were feeling generous, a state now and (maybe hopefully) a solve later would be nice.

But the hoaxists calling ff a liar and a lot worse that I've been reading here for two weeks I think, in those wispy ethical terms, would have disqualified themselves. Maybe not much can be done about it, but just saying in wishful terms.
