I was misled by an individual who claimed to be helping the Nitter project pro bono with a team of lawyers. He made up a timeline of events that sounded mostly believable.

I have not given legal advice to any Nitter operators, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say?

Hi. I was briefly following the developments regarding legal representation and thought everything was going well. Is there anything more you could disclose as to how you were misled or what happened here? Thank you again for creating and maintaining Nitter, it's such a valuable tool and I've donated a few times over the years.

I want to believe this was a case of incompetency on their part rather than malice because wow, that's a horrible thing to do.

Have you been in touch with the EFF? They seem like the first port of call for something like this: https://www.eff.org/pages/legal-assistance
