iirc when it was missing there was a lot of wild speculation and then someone (maybe it was on twitter) discretely said it was on the bottom of the ocean at some location i can't remember and nothing else. The conclusion was this person was from some three letter agency and knew exactly where it was because of all the listening devices in the various oceans hunting for submarines. They(agency) will never say where it is because it exposes their capability. I think a similar thing happened when that submarine imploded on the way to the titanic.

> The conclusion

Whose conclusion? On what basis?

They readily shared the implosion detection data with search and rescue teams.
I remember for the first few days no one was saying anything certain. But once the official reports started flowing after those first few days, they were very certain about the fact that the sub had imploded.
The public wasn't certain, but the search and rescue teams were made aware of the implosion that was detected, that wasn't going to stop an attempt to verify the wreckage.
Is there a screenshot of this Twitter post?
