I didn't get that impression, "all of the final 5 teams met the eligibility requirements specified in the Official Rules". They did mention that they are doing a more "in-depth" review, but they should have been immediately disqualified by the fact that it's clearly stated you must start after October 25th.

They're stuck in a hard place and an internal investigation is probably happening. This story will get worse before it gets better. I have a feeling that the story that they gave their partners a pass on the rules has credibility. Which means if they retract the 1st place, they get sued by them. and they get sued for essentially fixing the competition. The easiest out they didn't take. And it begs the question as to why

It got worse. healthcare.love was in the salesforce pocket too. Patrick Hoge reported. He's doing a great job and is going to run down finding all entrants. also, it's worth looking into 3rd 4th and 5th now.

Who were the developers that have proof their app was never reviewed? I'd like to talk to them and see the proof.
