Source

  • Found on 13 September 2026 by probing every account handle this site already holds for this operator against dev.to, and read from the profile's own public API. An account exists under trentist, a login the index already carries for this persona on another platform. It gives a joined date of Sep 10, 2026. It displays "Jonathan", a display name rather than a person's name. The profile links a GitHub account, Trentist. The handle is what links this account to the rest; nothing here establishes that one person holds both, and a display name on a profile is a name the account presents, not an identification.

  • Read on 20 September 2026 by walking the commit history of every repository on the GitHub accounts github.com/trentist and github.com/Belacanz12, already held under this persona, and tallying the author line on every commit. A commit's author line is what the holder configured their git client with rather than anything the profile page chooses to display, so it recovers addresses the account never states. The addresses recorded here were not already in this index: chasegreer327@gmail.com authored 781 commits across 10 of its repositories, commits as "Trentist"; belacanz@yahoo.com authored 184 commits across 3 of its repositories, commits as "Belacanz12"; chasegreer327@gmail.cm authored 4 commits across the repository trentist/crypto-blog, commits as "Trentist"; trent.delisle@mail.com authored 3 commits across the repository trentist/CatlistaBot, commits as "Trentist"; ayahmad1007@gmail.com authored 1 commit across the repository Belacanz12/belacanz12, commits as "Belacanz12". Each is admitted because it commits under a name the account itself uses, which is the test that separates the holder's own address from the original author of a repository copied in. Addresses belonging to unrelated developers whose work appears in these repositories are deliberately not recorded, and an address is evidence that whoever held it wrote those commits rather than proof of who holds the account.

  • ZachXBT published a table of the fake identities this operator ran, drawn from a device an unnamed source compromised. The post states five IT workers between them operated more than thirty identities, using purchased Upwork and LinkedIn accounts and government IDs to obtain developer jobs. THE VALUES BELOW WERE READ FROM THE SCREENSHOT IN THE POST, not from text: the table is an image and exists in no machine-readable form. Each was transcribed and checked against the image by a person, and the team designation is the source's own grouping, not an inference drawn here.

  • Found on 24 September 2026 by searching GitHub's commit index for published persona addresses and reading which account GitHub attributes the commits to. GitHub credits a commit to the account that has the signing address registered and verified, which only the holder of the mailbox can do, so an attributed account is one the address's holder controls, whichever repository the commits sit in and whenever the address was added. Counts are of the commits GitHub's search returns, up to 100. GitHub attributes 10 commits signed kholodroman6@gmail.com, an address ZachXBT publishes for this persona, to github.com/romik6, account id 216759224, created on 17 June 2025, with 4 public repositories.

  • Read on 20 September 2026 by walking the commit history of every repository on the GitHub accounts github.com/trentist and github.com/Belacanz12, already held under this persona, and tallying the author line on every commit. A commit's author line is what the holder configured their git client with rather than anything the profile page chooses to display, so it recovers addresses the account never states. The addresses recorded here were not already in this index: chasegreer327@gmail.com authored 781 commits across 10 of its repositories, commits as "Trentist"; belacanz@yahoo.com authored 184 commits across 3 of its repositories, commits as "Belacanz12"; chasegreer327@gmail.cm authored 4 commits across the repository trentist/crypto-blog, commits as "Trentist"; trent.delisle@mail.com authored 3 commits across the repository trentist/CatlistaBot, commits as "Trentist"; ayahmad1007@gmail.com authored 1 commit across the repository Belacanz12/belacanz12, commits as "Belacanz12". Each is admitted because it commits under a name the account itself uses, which is the test that separates the holder's own address from the original author of a repository copied in. Addresses belonging to unrelated developers whose work appears in these repositories are deliberately not recorded, and an address is evidence that whoever held it wrote those commits rather than proof of who holds the account.
