RonBrynaert and Cryptostorm


Ron Brynaert goes after Doug Spink aka Cryptostorm

Ron Brynaert @ronbryn24 Nov 2014

Is your pal – former InfraGard member Neal Rauhauser – on the crypto_storm team? @allsquarecat@cryptostorm_is https://cryptostorm.org/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=6119

Mark @ChildDelinquent 24 Nov 2014

@ronbryn @AllSquareCat @cryptostorm_is carrot asked that before. I think neal is just a supporter

Ron Brynaert @ronbryn 24 Nov 2014

FBI informant Neal Rauhauser was in Infragard & security firm accused of spying on activists @ChildDelinquent @AllSquareCat @cryptostorm_is

Ron Brynaert @ronbryn 24 Nov 2014

I presume that FBI informant Neal Rauhauser – at least – uses an alias at Cryptostorm forum. @ChildDelinquent @AllSquareCat @cryptostorm_is

@ronbryn @AllSquareCat – we don’t validate identities of forum participants, & certainly track no such data – not internally, nor publicly.

cryptostorm☂ ðëëþ.be @cryptostorm_is 24 Nov 2014

@ronbryn @ChildDelinquent @AllSquareCat – we have no involvement in selecting or monitoring forum posters; many/most post anonymously…

Ron Brynaert @ronbryn 24 Nov 2014

You also – evidently – don’t warn forum members you’re pals with an FBI informant who belonged to InfraGard @cryptostorm_is @AllSquareCat

cryptostorm☂ ðëëþ.be @cryptostorm_is 24 Nov 2014

@ronbryn @ChildDelinquent @AllSquareCat – our formal policy eschews confirm/deny of staff identities, per: https://cryptostorm.is/whooo.html

cryptostorm☂ ðëëþ.be @cryptostorm_is 24 Nov 2014

@ronbryn @ChildDelinquent @AllSquareCat – but we certainly can say that forum participation, by anyone, isn’t synonymous w/ staff role…

Ron Brynaert @ronbryn 24 Nov 2014

My point is you’re shielding a former InfraGard member who spies on activists… How about addressing that? @cryptostorm_is @AllSquareCat

cryptostorm☂ ðëëþ.be @cryptostorm_is 24 Nov 2014

@ronbryn @ChildDelinquent @AllSquareCat – thus, we hope that our lack of explicit denials isn’t misread as informationally deep.

Ron Brynaert @ronbryn 24 Nov 2014

I’m not asking about any other forum posters. Just Neal Rauhauser. Quit hiding behind FAQs. @cryptostorm_is @ChildDelinquent @AllSquareCat

cryptostorm☂ ðëëþ.be @cryptostorm_is 24 Nov 2014

@ronbryn @ChildDelinquent @AllSquareCat – with all due respect, we’re comfortable w/ our longstanding role in respecting forum anonymity.

Ron Brynaert @ronbryn 24 Nov 2014

“Come to @cryptostorm_is, where we protect our buddy – an FBI informant who spies on activists and journos” can be your slogan @AllSquareCat

cryptostorm☂ ðëëþ.be @cryptostorm_is 24 Nov 2014

@ronbryn – honestly, if you’ve an issue w/ someone in-forum, please do take it up in-forum & you’ll have full space to speak freely there

cryptostorm☂ ðëëþ.be @cryptostorm_is 24 Nov 2014

@ronbryn – it’s not clear at all what role we’d have in that, either way, save ensuring that forum dialogue is open, uncensored, & stable.

cryptostorm☂ ðëëþ.be @cryptostorm_is 24 Nov 2014

@ronbryn – our forum is open to all for reading & posting, no registration needed. This isn’t a “protected” space: it’s a fully open venue.

Ron Brynaert @ronbryn 24 Nov 2014

How many tweets will you send me pretending my questions are about anything other than Neal Rauhauser? 42? @cryptostorm_is @allsquarecat

cryptostorm☂ ðëëþ.be @cryptostorm_is 24 Nov 2014

@ronbryn – we’ve no quarrel w/ you & we are stating here merely information you request. We regret if this leaves you feeling disappointed.

cryptostorm☂ ðëëþ.be @cryptostorm_is 24 Nov 2014

@ronbryn – actually, 42 was the answer we were about to give. Naturally! 🙂 ps: bring towel. 😉
