According to this press release, the FBI has identified another staff member presumed to live in the USA and many signs point at it being trappy
Trappy was the only one in the moderation team to speak fluent, americanized English
Trappy once posted a reddit review for drugs ordered off the DNM from a USA based vendor and he mentionned the order was domestic, while also conplaining about USPS
The DoJ mentions the target is a low level staff member, so we can immediately exclude DeSnakes, the security administrator, who had admin level access (definitely not low ranking) and as a security admin, most likely he could avoid law enforcement at this point
Trappy made excessive use of reddit, a .com website vulnerable to both javascript exploits, traffic analysis and law enforcement subpeonas
We dont have anymore official information because it is an "ongoing" investigation.
What do you guys think? Is our beloved Trappy next?
Beloved? Really? The guy first hitched his name to a market that exit scammed (Pandora), then onto possibly the biggest DNM bust in history. My guess is he was dumb enough to actually order things to his legit address on his "Trappy" account instead of a different userID.
Is there any proof that "DeSnake" actually existed, rather than just an alter-ego of Cazes?
