Sure it was solved. Vincent made an accusation, which was denied. He produced no
evidence, or even a basis for suspicion. Program's log which was requested by TD
was produced. There's nothing more to add.

I understand that one of the allegations was that Juniorx had a non-english
speaking operator (duh ?).

As in CCT1, there was some hate dialogue on channel 68.

A complaint made to the TD about Diepx making baseless accusations was
apparently ignored.

This is the third tournament at the end of which Vincent makes a wild allegation
about Junior.
