Any investigation update? (programming.dev)

It's been 3 months, I delayed making any rash decision to cancel my floatplane subscription until the dust settled, but I also don't want to wait forever...

In all likelihood, there was never an "investigation". It felt like something they said to try to calm some of the anger towards them. I doubt we ever hear any updates on this from LTT.

I mean, I wouldn't be surprised, if what you say is true. It is the typical PR playbook to calm down the shitstorm and then not bring it up, again.

But at the same, they've enjoyed a lot of industry goodwill in the past, because we recognized that they're not IT professionals and were just doing their best. If they don't do this investigation, that shows they're not doing their best. And at least personally, I am more than ready to start tearing them a new one for their wild technological incompetence.
