That's hard enough for me to think it's legit, though I'd agree that it's not conclusive.

there are so many holes in even THAT story it's not even funny.

I'd love to learn more if you had a reference

I sincerely hope there's hope for it. Even so, such behavior towards an individual who brought nothing but joy to a common shared passion of many is beyond sad and evil.

Byuu tried to extort the owner of kiwifarms and "killed" himself when the owner refused. I encourage you to read Byuu's thread yourself instead of news articles that drastically misrepresent what happened.

Hmm, not to pollute thread anymore, I'll see what I can find and read. I remember marcan of Asahi confirmed it as well?

Thanks for calling yourself out as a perpetrator. The blood on your hands here is quite visible.

Some more evidence seems to have come forward, via a FOIA request by Null: https://twitter.com/TheRalphRetort/status/177609783413719452...
