The old Twitter permalink HTML contains the exact text in both its title and
Open Graph description. This turns the former tombstone into a recovered account
record; it is not a search-engine snippet or a present-day X rendering.

## Linked public DeSo profile

- Username returned by the public endpoint: `666ab731`
- Profile response: `archive/recon/twitter-account/bitclout-recovery-2026-07-27/deso-profile.json` - SHA-256 `491acd7a8cda41ce1e134f878e5be78135b6c3fc5f84ecccbbabe9138f024a06`

- Public posts returned: `6`

The current public profile description explicitly tells readers to visit
`@666ab731`. That reciprocal reference creates a clear platform-level chain
from the recovered tweet to the profile, while remaining distinct from PGP
identity proof.

This is a historical self-description of the linked public profile. It matters
because it says explicitly that Page 23 remained unsolved in May 2021. It does
not invalidate later reproducible analysis, nor does it name a key, traversal,
or final plaintext. The one currently returned reply is an unrelated commercial
promotion, not a Page-23 discussion or instruction.

## Boundary

This web-platform linkage does not identify the person behind the PGP key, prove the profile claims, or prescribe a new Page-23 cipher operation. The 2021 statement predates the present investigator-derived acrostic analysis. The one currently returned reply is an unrelated third-party commercial promotion, not a solver exchange.
