So, some updates:
- FBI have currently subponea'd majority of my emails
- I've found out they've been paying my "friend" to be my "friend" since 2014
- They're attempting to tie me to a hack of Comcast that took place in 2014
- They're claiming I harrassed a confidential informant / federal witness during an open case (the same "friend" who they've been paying to chat to me)
right now, I'm assessing damage control and taking some precautionary measures. Despite not doing anything blackhat, I am
not okay with the FBI illegally gaining warrants to subponea my shit. If you're currently doing any form of dealings with me then stay away from Discord, lack of E2E crypto is one of many issues (don't even get me started on their ToS) - email me at
[email protected] (new throwaway email) or XMPP (OTR ONLY) at
[email protected] -- if this was an isolated incident, I wouldn't really care, but this is the culmination of several years of false accuastions made by the likes of Krebs' and The Jester, resulting in LEA attention for things I had nothing to do with (for example they're trying to claim I've been using BTC / CC's to help fund ISIS despite the fact I helped disrupt many of ISIS/ISHD/CyberCaliphate's public operations.
I'll re-iterate, please do not reach out via Skype or Discord, or any of my old emails for that matter. XMPP W/ OTR only for IM's, otherwise message my throwaway email. This won't result in a raid, but I'm still assessing the situation and figuring out the best way to deal with it. I've made some FOIA requests to various law enforcemenet / intelligence agencies around the world and also reached out to some prominent figures in the OSINT / Threat Intel scene to try figure out where I currently stand.
Will keep you guys updated best I can. Situation is still unfolding as I type this message.
Likely this will amount to nothing, but for OPSEC reasons I'll not be working on any expdev or anything similar on platforms lacking sufficient E2E crypto. Documents were provided to me by a friend who was recently released from prison. I've also had 3 separate people who were recently arrested tell me the FBI had lots of questions abou me, so seems they're trying to built YET ANOTHER phony case against me based upon lies created by The Jester (likely a government psyop ran by multiple people, rather than a single person as is commonly believed).
As soon as this situation is assessed fully, all services can resume normally on any platform. I just know that the feds are snooping right now and I don't like the idea of people snooping on me.
