> That said, in keeping the facts straight, an issue opened a week ago citing this as a problem was closed in favor of the one opened by the Brave VP.

That seems somewhat shady, unless there was a credible explanation?

It’s a publicly viewable GitHub issue that people can still navigate to or comment on, it’s not like it was scrubbed. It’s surely a PR move to show they’re on top of it but not anything to read into in my opinion.

'Show they're on top of it' by closing their own employee's report from a week ago without explanation?

If anything, by leaving it open that would have advertised how attentive their employees are.
