      It is funny, but I totally understand not raising an eyebrow at a user who claims to be a grizzled old vet having outlandish/exaggerated stories to tell any audience he can get his hands on. At the same time, I wouldn't have raised an eyebrow at his death personally, even though it did feel a bit too tidy in hindsight, in the moment I'd have likely just said RIP and moved on (assuming I cared at all, which I likely wouldn't have).

      I haven’t heard of Lemmino. Will check him out. My two favorites are Nexpo and my number 1 would probably be Lazy Masquerade. Lazy is more frightening material, however. Like how Nexpo has some freaky shit but leans moreso into the mysterious, Lazy has some mysterious shit that leans more into the downright disturbing. Both channels are brilliant. My only problem with either one is I have no more footage to watch until the newest video comes out, because I got so addicted.

    • @belgebelgravia100
      @belgebelgravia100 2 года назад +464

      It's interesting that he uses British military slang as well. He mentions that he served in Palestine from 1946-1949. This refers to the British occupation of Mandatory Palestine from Israeli and Arab militia within the province. As far as I know, Americans did not serve or even assist Britain or the opposing forces in Palestine until the Israeli declaration of independence in 1948.
      MILOs also served exclusively in Cold War-era Germany in intelligence gathering operations and not in Mandatory Palestine.
      Which is strange because he mentions being raised in Pennsylvania and being American. It's seems, if any part of this story is true, it means that this man is not in fact an American, but a Brit.

    There's no goddamn way Milo was really who he said he was. Born in 1930 and enlisted in the armed forces at age thirteen, fought in both World War II and the Vietnam War at some of the most famous and historically important battles of the century, but decides to retire from the military and retrain in his mid fifties to become a software engineer? That's already highly suspect. On top of that, he's somehow still employed at nearly eighty years old and yet has the time to converse with people on social media and moderate a subreddit created to host explicit images of underage girls, yeah fucking right. And of course he's a grizzled old war horse who is mean and ornery but has at least one friend in Angel Two Six who conveniently knows about his activities on Reddit and is willing to make an account just to tell everyone on his disgusting child pornography message board that he's passed away. The entire story absolutely reeks of fakery and bullshit. I also don't believe that any of these guys were secretly hitmen for hire or coordinated mercenaries. I believe they really wanted to be, but they were miserable maladjusted child-lovers who only felt comfortable among their own ranks. There's no way these losers were traveling around the world committing high profile assassinations.

    I did my own investigation awhile back. One thing you didn’t mention is that many of the archived photos also add extra layers of perplexity, some of which add to the strangeness of the story, given the context.
    1. Locations - many of the pictures feature locations from around the world. On the surface, these look like tourist photos. However, the pictures aren’t of famous sites or typical travel features (landscape views, selfies, activities, etc.). Many of them are outside pictures of hotels and nondescript buildings, things that would otherwise be uninteresting to the average tourist.
    2. Architecture - some of the pictures are odd, out of place photos of doors and windows, with no context or description. Others are of specific entry points with a particular focus on signs that denote the entry point as being alarmed.
    3. The woman - There are several photos posted across different years that feature an Asian woman in various locations around the world. It is the same woman in all the pictures.

      Further to this; if you read the final line in the bottom post at 38:05 - there is a very dubious line from the LCQP admin noting how everyones"pics, hard work, and memories" were hosted on the site.
      _Memories_ is the odd part that stuck out to me here. Hard work could imply the effort of gathering JB image collections, ...but "memories?" - to me this suggests images relating to the jobs were hosted on the site.
      Makes sense for a global operation - someone scouts out the location and uploads entry points etc, and those executing whatever mission travel in with increased success rate due to better planning / having appropriate tools etc.
      OP I've not seen the pictures you but I would imagine it's all evidence, and, if the places could be tracked down, it may be possible to ask around and find out what strange events happened during the relevant timeline at the locations. This could prove an important piece of the puzzle in confirming or denying the claim that the jobs were "heist/smuggling ops".
      Hope you have the pics archived.

      Hired a P.I.? Does he show receipts? Did he confirm that he wasn't just saying that for dramatic effect for the sake of good storytelling? He is a great storyteller and setting the atmosphere in this way would make sense whether he actually used a licensed P.I. (or multiple) or if he just asked his roommate to "investigate" some links...
      I'm of the opinion that the nexpo creators are quite literally elite level private investigators themselves, in regards to all things internet... they would be hard pressed to find and also hire a more effective internet investigator. Maybe they just gave themselves a bonus.

    The way he says his age a few times in different threads while talking to people makes it feel like someone’s trying to establish a character. Most old people don’t want to reveal their age online because they feel like they’re taken less seriously. They benefit from the anonymity more than most because they can just be taken for their knowledge and experience. It’s definitely suspicious that a person would state their age more than once.

    Dunno if somebody else already explained it, but I think the 43:30 "Email Contacts" link is a classic spam trap. Basically, the site would be set up so that it'd produce an infinite number of those pages of fake e-mail addresses, so that spambots trawling the web (and unable to notice the text "Don't use these") would endlessly add the fake addresses to their database and crash.

    It's possible the "Don't use these Email Contacts" link could be an anti-scraper tool.

I had a website run a site map on the email contacts list from the crystalwind archive, and if memory serves, it's like 3000 individual pages. That type of text was used alot in at least one of the r/lcqp subs. Around the same time as word was getting around about the page source code, u/godsoldercousin posted a bunch of obfuscated text with the thread titled compromised (I can't remember if it was fashioned the same way or not, but that account is still active to this day).

  • @justin2308

    My current working theory: Mike was a technical writer who was down on his luck yet ambitious. He originally started the Crystal Wind page to try and create a consulting firm, but in the end it amounted to nothing. Parallel to this, he began getting involved with the wrong crowd, a CP ring that was highly skilled when it came to technical stuff (that line of code could’ve very well just been a project one of them had been showing off). They would even meet up, forming a sort of close-knit community (probably all the same locale too, since it operated solely from New Jersey and they seemed to expect everyone to know why the site would be down due to storms).
    Along the way, Mike created a couple of online personas that could be seen on the well-tread pages of the Internet, where he indulged in his fetish more openly and even hosted his own image sharing website to the point he got tired (or paranoid) of the mainstream and decided to start killing his more-public personas one by one to separate himself from them and go back into obscurity. Eventually, probably because he finally wanted to get his life back on track or something much darker (maybe he even got a job which explains how he can pay for the site), he disappeared entirely and the main HQ for his former pornography crew to gather kept getting traded to new admins who couldn’t keep it running (and, considering that most of them just up and ran, probably had to escape the country or were arrested). DSF would eventually be pretty much the only place left, only for the 2017 event to take place. My guess is that Mike changed his ways and came back with a vengeance, tearing everything apart for his former comrades, but that probably is too optimistic. Another guess could be that someone realized they could get got by authorities and attempted to cover their tracks.

      I’m not personally convinced that the html comment messages were left there to generate public interest in the goings-on of TOGIH. Everyone involved in this story was 100% aware that creating that site was a personal burden and quite literally a high-risk venture. They didn’t host ads because they *couldn’t* host ads- the website’s content would literally blockade any such opportunity. The site was being targeted to a very specific community and was not being advertised outside of those bounds. It makes no sense to want eyes on the site outside of those that would vehemently want the site to remain online because it would be the site’s undoing. These people were into some pretty fucked up shit.
      I wonder if it was an extension of the roleplaying he did on Reddit. He was so dedicated to this military persona and had the time to back it up with some research. The reason I feel this way is specifically because of the TI DMCA comments- he either left that there for himself or there *was* some community, that was interacting with his web ventures in a way we don’t have a history for because it wasn’t public.
      There is zero chance it was tied to an assassination, though.

    I know exactly what the page at 43:28 is supposed to be! I've unfortunately forgotten who originally made this and what it was called (this was in late 1990s), but basically, someone wrote a program that you could deploy on your own web page that would generate random email addresses and links that would lead to the same page. The idea was that bots that harvested email addresses for spammers would have their database flooded with bogus addresses, and get caught in a loop of fetching that stuff over and over. That's why the link to the page says "Don't use these email contacts"; the thing is supposed to be a bait for the bots and not exactly intended for human readers. As said, I don't remember who originally made the thing, but it was open source and it was widely discussed among the anti-spam community at the time.

His age, i think he stated it multiple times to cover up his tracks of who he really was. He was into CP so it would make sense.

    Beyond the pretty obvious fact that we didn't have a 79yo ringleader of a hitmen network using a morally despicable image share site, it's still interesting to see such a niche of a small online community, wondering what the actual some of these people were up to and what the unsolved details even are.
    Old Internet (and early Reddit I guess had a similar feeling, just like the first social networks) had a very unique existence.
    It was the vanguard of tech, yet it was so much primitive compared to today tech that feels way older than 20 years.

    One thing I always wondered about this mystery is why professional mercenaries would hide messages in HTML comments that are publicly viewable. I mean yes, it's unlikely someone would discover it, but it's just out there in plain sight. Wouldn't it make more sense to use encryption? If they can get fake passports and all that stuff, why can't they figure out how to do secure communication?
