So I don't suppose anyone knows what the outcome was? Did he get an interview at least?

If you click the last of the weird (and, imo, quite visually displeasing) yellow tab thingies, close to the scribbled-over piece of text, it says "You didn't think we'd give away our teammate's contact info so easily! [...]".

I interpreted this to mean that the guy who wrote the letter got hired by the ones who received it.
