Well, did anything happen to source of the leak, the German hacker Axel "Ago" Gembe? wired is reporting he was offered a job interview so that Valve could get him into the U.S. and bag him for charges. It's not the first time the FBI tried this trick: "The same Seattle FBI office had successfully used an identical gambit in 2001, when they created a fake startup company called Invita, and lured two known Russian hackers to the U.S. for a job interview, where they were arrested.""
