A few weeks ago people on here where mad at a company (Microsoft?) for NOT force pushing the corrected credit of a source code.
You just can't win.

A good lesson that you should NOT do shady shit?
Do you never ever do anything that's wrong?
If so, well, I guess good for you; but the rest of us sometimes screw up. There needs to be a path for redemption. Admit you were at fault, make it right, do better next time.
ETA And, it doesn't matter whether people do the above steps because they "really mean it", or because they're just afraid of the consequences otherwise; any more than it matters, from a societal perspective, if people refrain from stealing or murdering because they're good people, or because they're afraid of being thrown in jail.
There needs to be a path to redemption, yes, but this very clearly isn't it.

They were given a chance to admit they were at fault. They instead bullshitted about “sloppy work”. You just don’t accidentally take someone else’s work, strip their name and brand it as your own, and brag about “built in three days” or some shit.
And even if they handled it very gracefully afterwards, don’t expect everyone to be happy about it. That’s Mashimo’s problem isn’t it, someone’s gonna criticize regardless. No shit!
Btw, I have never ever taken someone else’s work and brand it as my own without credit, or cheat someone in any other way (or at the very least, never intentionally). Thank you for asking. I don’t think that’s a high bar to clear.

you're conflating (obfuscating?) honest oversights with what seems to be a clearly and intentionally dishonest series of actions
