The very famous iPhone hacker and jailbreak developer Joshua Hill better known by his handle p0sixninja, has decided to leave the Chronic-Dev Team. p0sixninja has tweeted a moment ago that he is no longer a part of the Chronic-Dev Team. p0sixninja was one of the core members to work on the famous greenpois0n jailbreaks.
Just so everyone knows, I'm no longer associated with Chronic-Dev Team

And hopefully by now everyone sees it was never about the money for me

The exact reason for p0sixninja's decision of leaving Chronic-Dev Team is unknown and I had tweeted to him if he will still find exploit and develop free jailbreaks for the scene. p0sixninja has not replied to it (yet).
Just a day before, p0sixninja surprisingly tweeted that he was selling an iPhone 4 for $50 along with an iBoot 0day for free.
Anyone in Vegas that wants to buy an iPhone for cheap? I'll throw in an iBoot 0day for free :-P

$50 for a $500 phone and $50,000 exploit... And no takers, lol

This tweet came as surprise and no one was sure if he was serious or joking.

@socaljs I'm serious. Trying to get rid of this stuff and make it back home
Now if p0sixninja is leaving the jailbreak scene too, he will be another prominent hacker to leave the scene after GeoHot and Comex left. It will be early to say how p0sixninja's decision of leaving the Chronic-Dev Team will affect the jailbreak scene, or will it have any effect at all. It is still not confirmed if he will be leaving the jailbreak scene or not.
