Wikileaks:Hashes match the files after decryption (obviously)

If this doesn't convince people wl is compromised, what will? Not only is this out of ordinary-- for WL & anyone using checksums; but it is asinine:

Here, our leaders internet was cut and twitter here are some checksums. Smidst the chaos, just dl these huge 2-60GB files. We'll send you some decryption keys and once you decrypt these massive unverified files, you can use the checksums to verify.

raises hand

...couldn't we verify files before decryption?

What is happening rn. Are people buying into this?
