I have read all accounts and points of view. Defcon clearly dropped the ball here. Whoever was managing this badge creation team should never be allowed near defcon again. I am very unlikely to recommend or go to any future defcon events unless defcon makes this right with the vendor.
> The DEFCON community is and has always been near and dear to my heart; I started my local DEFCON group as a kid growing up in Malaysia decades ago
Sad that people (defcon) use and abuse the passion of others. EE let DEFCON step all over them. EE even discounted the labor in the invoices to defcon to meet whatever vague budget they had.
This is just a reminder that you should never meet or work with your childhood heroes. The reality is they will most likely take advantage of this.
