Imminent Foreclosure: Kiwi Farms
The rumored federal task force has made its move.
There have been persistent rumors of a federal task force aimed at online mischief for the last year or so. And now we have proof that noisome nitwit nexus Kiwi Farms is in the hot seat.
I’ve written about the site and its denizens before, in Crack Babies of Kiwi Farms, Kiwi Farms Crack Baby Butthurt, and Stochastic Terrorism As A Service.
And it’s impossible to discuss online harassment without revisiting Probable Pissposting, which is about James McGibney, the “entrepreneur” who sought to monetize online bullying as a service, complete with numerous failed pitches for a reality TV show.
Attention Conservation Notice:
I’m just gloating and goading. You can probably skip this one, unless you’re the sort that slows down for bad car wrecks.
Pissboy Particulars:
James “Pissboy” McGibney big life plan was a cyberbullying site … which he used to stir up mobs against whomever he felt was a valid target. Most recently he’s tried to do that with the attorney in Texas who has taken on the task of finishing and collecting for Rauhauser v. McGibney.
Given what’s happening to Kiwi Farms, this sworn affidavit from FBI special agent Walker Wicevich is absolutely hilarious.
There have been a lot of low grade pretext approaches to me over the last few years and I’ve long thought that Kiwi Farms was the nexus. I hope none of those foolish little boys have been in chat rooms, taking direction from Pissboy or one of his agents.
Because they could very well end up like Deric Lostutter or Roy Arcadio Jimenez aka 5hm00p.
Piss Poor Tradecraft:
Josh Moon is in the business of harassing people to the point of suicide. Which he has been doing while leaving a trail of evidence in Google(!) There are rudimentary “how to sneak around” instructions on Kiwi Farms, but apparently those are do as I say, not do as I do.
I just checked my Gmail to see if I have received a similar notice. The only “legal process” emails in my inbox are four about my Texas case, two from clients, and this round of chatty email on Reza Zarrab, whoever that is.
There is some historic stuff still tied to that account, but never let it be said I don’t take my own advice. I’m not well off by any means, but €115 per year for an email provider that will ignore frivolous litigation and corrupt search warrants is a pittance.
Given how Moon behaves it actually is surprising he doesn’t have better procedures. If you ever plan to go roaming around the dirty end of the playing field you should probably read Regarding Your Ass and What Hunts You? That’s for starters, there are a lot of other safety related tips on here, sprinkled in with the various projects. The bulk of it will be found in Tool Time.
Source Evaluation:
Incredible Intel was a snarky talk about evaluating sources and the information they bring. But like all good engineers, I try to make any single thing do two or more jobs, in that instance rubbing someone’s nose in a truly monumental own goal.
That material has been sitting in a folder, because I was a bit busy with MIOS: Iran’s PressTV. I thought the task force rumors were true, and now that I’ve seen public confirmation, I need to get on the stick and submit a package about the findings to the FBI’s IC3 web reporting tool.
When it launched IC3 was a joke, it was a polite way for agents to avoid talking to random weirdos. What I learned right at the start of this year in a conversation with a retired special agent is that IC3 has evolved to a slick criminal catching machine. You put in a nice neat report with some useful information and it’ll IMMEDIATELY get routed to the correct unit.
So what I have here is information that would support a special agent’s application for a search warrant of a certain online account. Pissboy is involved, of course, and I suspect the other party was caught and flipped by the bureau back in 2019. But the fact that someone has been turned doesn’t mean they’re magically redeemed. It’s very common for informants to misread their position, get back into fucking around criming, and then finding out.
This was originally created to honor Enrique Tarrio, the head of the Proud Boys, who had also been a “prolific” informant ten years ago in Florida. It seems really apropos for this article.
