Nothing DEFCON-related that I know of. A few years back TOOOL's co-founder resigned and (unrelated) they were defrauded & had 20k stolen from them, but neither of those had to do with DEFCON.

From my understanding they were told they were no longer allowed to fundraise in the village, which meant they could not afford to continue coming.
