Why would mods read his PMs?

To ensure he wasn't storing anything illegal or evidence on the Temp servers and or to ensure he wasn't soliciting any of the members. In moments like this, it's not about privacy it's about safety. Safety both for the community and for the site itself.

I don't want to be that guy... but doesn't smell fishy?

I mean, precisely him? After a C&D letter from N, and he continuing his work on freeshop?

I don't know... Feels odd.

Apparently this all started before freeshop.

Oh ok. I wasn't aware of that specific bit. Thanks for clarifying.

You eat, drink and breath right? Those are impulses.

But pedophilia isn't an impulse required to live.

Not all humans act on impulse

His original bail conditions stated that he can't use a computer iirc, and it's one thing for someone whom has a porn addiction to sneak on a computer anyways for more porn (which according to court documents, he actually did), but for someone to do something so major as freeshop and continue doing it, I don't think anyone is THAT stupid.
So I really do question if it is in fact the same person or just a series of coincidences and poor speculation by certain people.

It is also a little odd that with all that the perp has done and the FBI and other feds putting the dude under a microscope, it's hard to believe that no one on this site was ever questioned or asked to hand over info. @Costello said no one contacted him, but maybe he really was contacted but is just keeping hush, but I want to think that he has better morals than to lie to thousands of people.

I have yet to see definitive proof that Cruel, or whatever his name is, is in fact the dude that got sent to prison. I have only seen it presented with a few coincidences never anything concrete. But I also have not jumped fully into the rabbit hole yet.

It'd be one hell of a coincidence then. As this is all going down, the cruel disappears from the Internet? Did he decide to take an extended vacation? I guess time will tell. The pieces are there.

I would not call eating, drinking, and breathing as an "impulse". Neither is sex. All four of those are things required to make our species survive. It is, sadly, natural for males to mate with the youngest possible for better chance of the males species and genetic line to carry on.

You'd be surprised at the stupid shit people will do. Plus someone posted images from other websites showing that yes, it is the same person.

Strangely, I have not seen those. Would you mind taking the moment to find that for me please. I already did a reverse image search on the perp and I found articles of the arrest and conviction, but nothing further than that. I definitely haven't seen any correlation between the two besides that Cruel stopped posting around the same time this perp went to prison.

I know people can be fucking stupid, but after getting arrested, most people walk on egg shells to not get in any more trouble.

Actually breathing is part of the Autonomic Nervous System, the same that controls heart rate and digestion, in a way thats impulse. Its a mix of both non control and control. We can hold our breath, but we can't stop our breathing indefinitely even if we tried, eventual our bodies will gasp for air. Eating is not impulse and we can actually stop eating and kill ourselves if we wanted to.

Its natural for males to want to mate young woman, but that doesn't mean we have to. We can control our predispositions, as many people have married older and people of older ages, so its very obviously doable, or else everyone will be in jail for having sex with under legal age girls. Its not like this Oh MY God I have to mate with all these young woman or else, that'd be creepy. Its more like theres someone thats attractive and thats it, its not a must. Mating with young woman to survive isn't as much of an issue today, since life style is different, and advancement in medicine helps us survive in ways our ancestors couldn't. Mating with lots of people, and having lots of children isn't necessary anymore. Theres enough people on this planet now as is.

That sounds very much like the words of the Chechen Leader Razman Kadryov regarding gay concentration camps in Chechnya, denying the existence of such camps as gay people don't exist, going something along these lines:
"Gay people don't exist in Chechnya, even if there were gay people in Chechnya law enforcements wouldn't need to round them up because their relatives would send them somewhere from which there is no returning"

The world is the Chechnya of pedophiles, I am not surprised they wouldn't come out publicly to seek for help considering this, so in the end it is almost impossible for you to get your proof or numbers.

I really believe the world should be as severe as it is with offenders, but much more supportive with people that want to seek help, but of course, that is IMHO.

Why? It's not illegal. Or are you getting confused between thinking and doing?

Also. Children sexting each other is illegal, but they aren't classed as pedophiles.

Well I did give you a answer.. Look I think all pedophiles should be tortured to death its that simple... They are sick nasty scumbags.. Child rapist? Of course they have mental issues.. It's madness at its worst...

Sick. Even worse is the notion that there are more out there who just haven't been caught yet. We need brain scanners so we can identify the sick fucks predisposed to this kind of thing.

Well yeah, but pedophilia is the wanting to mate with pre-pubecent children, who by definition can't become pregnant.

Sorry, I know my English is terrible and not very clear.

It is my wish to write as clear as possible so you can see what I mean with the minimal effort on your part, so you can reply if you wish to what I try to say, instead of getting confused by my awful English.

I will try to do my best to explain again the point I am trying to make, but I hope this time it comes up better and easier to understand.

First, regarding the lack of data for statistics, it was related to this post:

DeadlyFoez said:
If I were to just say "tell me of someone..." then I would get a response like "I know this guy, Frank, and he...". I want some verifiable proof that someone actually has had a life long sexual attraction to children without ever offending. I don't think anyone can produce results. And the fact is, there is no verifiable data that there is even a percentage that don't offend since the majority of those likely will never come out until they are caught.

To this I replied that the world performs a witch hunt to people seeking help, comparable to the witch hunt of homosexuals performed by Chechnya.
I wanted to bring into attention what is known as honor killings, where homosexuals are set apart and murdered by their own families.
I posted the following:

I really believe the world should be as severe as it is with offenders, but much more supportive with people that want to seek help, but of course, that is IMHO.

What I meant by "The world is the Chechnya of pedophiles", is that instead of being supporting of someone seeking for help (not an offender), a similar effect to honor killings occurs, this time people are set apart from society and sometimes murdered.
I then quoted some other people from this forum to make my point:

That's the reason I said that under this conditions I am not surprised they wouldn't come out publicly to seek for help considering this, so in the end it is almost impossible for you to get your proof or numbers.

I think this shunning performed by society on non-offenders makes the problem worse, as this people end up denying themselves their problem and hiding everything related to it until it explodes, instead of the seeking help what would in the end be less damaging for the society.

That is the reason I said I really believe the world should be as severe as it is with offenders, but much more supportive with people that want to seek help, but of course, that is IMHO.

I know my English must be terrible, but if there is something specific in my text that makes it difficult to see what I mean, please let me know, I will do my best to write it in a better way.

I hope this time what I meant has become clear.

Here's the gist:

Cruels avatar (still visible on his GitHub) contains a face. Said face was matched up to the news article that Costello linked which contained a mugshot of the guy.
His notabug profile (check the old freeshop source) literally uses his own name rather than TheCruel. Combined with the previous connection, it would be a coincidence only if a snowball can survive in hell for longer than a second. So not a coincidence at all.

You can actually find his entire criminal record and in fact doing some deeper research I was able to pull up a lot about him. Including there only being one person on record with his name in the state of Georgia. TheCruel actually left a very easy to track record and using his full name on all of his sources made it even easier to track him down.
