Artist Peter Loh, who was there from the first, to hear of the leaked info on the photographs, puts pen to paper to record his editorial feelings for Cryptomundo about this sad outcome.

Vincent Chow was hoaxed too, of course, and I see nothing in what Peter has said or drawn regarding this all that make us think any less of the passionate but naive awareness of Mr. Chow.
If the photo could finally be released, even a snippet, why not from the beginning? And then we may have avoided all of this.
Still, there is nothing in what is said in the Peter quotation above that does not still ring true, within context.
