As promised, Jadusable (or rather, his roommate) posted a link to download TheTruth.txt at 11:04pm. Jadusable's post was uncharacteristically short and consisted of simply "Honesty is the best policy" followed by a download link.
This document contains all of the notes that Jadusable had been taking during the entire ordeal and now they were made available for the entire world.

Exactly 108 minutes later, a new video was uploaded to Jadusable's Youtube account, simply entitled "free.wmv". Jadusable changed his Youtube profile picture and added the quote, "Now I am everywhere" to his profile. Viewers were made to draw their own conclusions as to what this video signified.
Honesty is the best policy.

Transcript
The video is only 18 seconds long, and consists of a black screen. Two lines of text appear. Together, they read as, "The counter resets. I'm glad you did that." Just before the video ends, a dim view of Link's bedroom from Ocarina of Time can be seen.

Notes
- This is the first video created by BEN, instead of Jadusable.
- The meaning of the text in the video corresponds with the revelation that Jadusable had no roommate, and means that those who downloaded TheTruth.rtf inadvertently helped BEN escape onto the Internet.
- On March 29, 2012, the name of this video was changed to "you can hear me.wmv" for a few days. This was later revealed to be part of the April Fools joke.
