Not particularly convincing, they seem just more like the kind of person you'd expect to be a reddit admin, i.e. a dodgy pedo incel male somewhat in the same area as /u/violentacrez (summary here for those unfamiliar: https://www.gawker.com/5950981/unmasking-reddits-violentacre...).

> I befriended a Korean pastor and his wife (long story there) where I live and we would meet occassionally for dinner.

> One day he asked if I could help teach some of his "students" conversational English. I didn't realise that he meant adults undergoing intensive training in Korea and abroad as missionaries for posting to other parts of the world. I thought he meant local teenagers who wanted to be more conversant in English - pronunciation, diction etc

> So I volunteered.

So, if people start looking for reddit accounts that mention maxwell and dodgy stuff, I can see why they'd stop posting.

I think part of the reason this gets so easily dismissed is that people still see reddit as a quaint little internet message board rather than an influential mainstream juggernaut that reaches half a billion people every month.

That account is/was enormously powerful, with the ability to determine which stories reached the frontpage and which didn't. That makes it politically and financially very valuable, and I don't think someone would just give up that because of association with Maxwell when they could have just posted a single comment saying "I am not Ghislaine Maxwell" and everyone would have forgotten about it.
