Ah, thanks - the paradox is referred to as '"the information loss problem" in the original post and, as you mention, discussed in posts 33, 35, and 37.
Regarding the resolution of the paradox, though, from what I'm reading, it has not been resolved. For example:
"To resolve the paradox, one of the three postulates must be sacrificed, and nobody can agree on which one should get the axe. The simplest solution is to have the equivalence principle break down at the event horizon, thereby giving rise to a firewall. But several other possible solutions have been proposed in the ensuing years. ...
Physicists have yet to reach a consensus on anyone of these proposed solutions. It’s a tribute to Hawking’s unique genius that they continue to argue about the black hole information paradox so many decades after his work first suggested it."

The "famously resolved" resolution you describe seems to be the one where Hawking conceded the bet. But it looks like there is still no consensus overall.
