After the kerfuffle, was the CL item (el trofeo or whatever) returned to staff?

Yes, apparently they took it out, i unknown if they did it regardless of people paying for it.

We are currently working on having each el trofeo item sinked. We've offered TC compensation for each item.

As of right now, a few have been sinked, and we're working on it.

El trofeo is Legendary, but ye they sinking it :'''''c
