The residue classification conjecture for Mersenne primes

Let ρ\rho be a prime and let Mρ=2ρ1M_\rho=2^\rho-1. The Mersenne-prime residue conjecture. If MρM_\rho is a Mersenne prime, then exactly one of the following holds: Mρ\rightthreeheadleftarrow3,7,31,127,247,271\rightthreeheadleftarrow360M_\rho\rightthreeheadleftarrow 3,7,31,127,247,271\rightthreeheadleftarrow 360, equivalently, the residue of MρM_\rho modulo 360360 belongs to \\{3,7,31,127,247,271\}. The claim concerns the possible congruence classes of Mersenne primes modulo 360360; the source gives no resolution evidence.
