That's the big problem... the billionaire doesn't have to ticket a box. As long as someone closely related to him did then it will show you are a close relative of whoever that relative is and you can draw your conclusion from that. It's all quite sick and shouldn't be legal.Originally posted by ladymuck View PostSurely it's a breach of something or other to reveal a genetic match that way, unless the billionaire ticked a box (or didn't tick a box) that allowed his identity to be shared with potential genetic matches

Just was able to figure it out through a match with their relatives and then a short conversation with one of the person they matched with on facebook.
