What victims were there? My understanding is that there was some game playing with two accounts violating the terms of service. The affected relationship was developer - Apple and Apple has asserted itself here. There was also to the degree I know some misrepresentation of the conflict by the developer.

Afaik. this has not gone to court and both developer and Apple seemed to want to stop talking about it. I believe we should respect this. As we also should respect the nationality and contribution of developers giving away something for free.

Anyone who has used the Apple Appstore is fractionally speaking the loser/victim - he spammed it.

Do you ever wonder what the appstore would be like without spam bullshit? How quality software studios could make money instead of some hack like this buying ratings from a third-party on cookie cutter apps?

For a cookie cutter app, there are zero alternatives with feature parity. It's also notably much, much higher quality than the median app.
