  • A five-post thread. The researcher states this operator infected his own machine with Contagious Interview malware, which is how the material became visible, and that he holds a large number of compromised accounts and has run two fake companies in the United States. The first of those, TechBizGo, was used to recruit facilitators through a neighbourhood listings page for Ogden, Utah; the second, Ninja Development LLC, advertised web3 and smart-contract development. The addresses in the third post are the ones the researcher says were most used; the fourth post continues the same list. The closing post of the thread, missed when this entry was first transcribed, carries two IP addresses tied to the operator; they are added here.
