Inverview with Evan Ratliff, author of The Mastermind

The title used to say "The Founder: how the creator of TrueCrypt became a criminal masterming". I just fixed the typo to "mastermind". Thanks @bryanrasmussen !

Edit: It has now been updated by the mods to its current title. It went through "The Founder", "The Founder: Interview with Evan Ratliff, author of The Mastermind", and "Inverview with Evan Ratliff, author of The Mastermind", and probably manually demoted from the #1 spot.

I understand the rules of non-editorialization of titles (unless you're the article author, the you can click-bait as you wish), but it seems even the mods understand the need to provide context.

hope my pointing out the typo wasn't the cause of the cascade of renaming.

Not at all, don't sweat it. The HN rules explicitely say "don't editorialize": https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Despite the rules, the current title is completely meaningless to me. How many people here have heard of TrueCrypt, vs The Mastermind?

I only clicked because of your editoralization, and I'm very glad I did!
