Security nerd here. I would have expected it. But only in the sense that I have no faith in this industry to write secure software and protect from data loss.
He used fenchol (a basil-like aroma), tea tree oil and tannins to replace coca leaf extract. Without tea tree oil, it did taste substantially different from coca-cola and more like Pepsi, and without tannins it was more like diet coke.
Coca isn't blanket-illegal. It's just very-heavily restricted in the States. (But not that restricted: My regular dentist is licensed to prescribe cocaine. At a federal level, it's less-restricted than the devil's lettuce is.)
Coca-Cola buys spent coca remains, after they've had the party powder components extracted from them. This product is not particularly restricted.
But lawyers are prone to using scary phrasing, even if that phrasing has no bite, and are free to write strongly-worded letters.
"I see that you've been publishing the privately-held, trade secret tomato processing technique I developed -- on the Internet! Now, tomato processors everywhere can see it! I'm really pissed! I demand that you stop doing this immediately! In fact, if you want a full enumeration of whar I really think about the terrible things you're doing, then I further demand that you pay me $25,000 for that effort!"

Of course you do, almost exclusively, name one expose in last 20 years where high profile honeypot wasn't initiated by some 20-30 year old. This isn't WWII or Cold War where age gap matters, this degenerate 2000s, it's like always some leggy soviet goldens showering on daddy for leverage... except when it comes to Chinese then it's old madam... despite all the yellow fever going around and Jensen signing tits. Like successful Chinese men cheating with 20 yo side piece as apple pie tier accepted phenomenon. Somehow China, a country with unlimited seductress sends a... 6/10, looks like >40yr old to a thirsty leather jacket wearing Chinese CEO that signs tits.
