It’s a bar and community venue called The Shrine. At the back is a large wall with a huge niche with shelves and wall space. That’s the shrine. Every month, another community member is given a budget to acquire things for the shrine connected to a personal or professional passion of theirs.

Honestly, this isn't just an open source maintainer or crypto exec problem. This is a social engineering attack that can be used against literally anyone, from journalists to organizers of any stripe. It's worth reading up on the details of what happened here if you use a computer and video calls
