What was the outcome of this great DNM SubReddit Drama?

Anyone got an update on this drama 2 years on? ("Evolution Exit Scam and subsequent doxxing")

Care to finish the story?

Nothing came out of the initial clusterfuck, but BBMC actually put together a pretty strong case on the identities of Kimble and Verto behind the scenes.

I don't think he posted it to the main sub, but basically, several months later, a pair of ex-pats was arrested abroad for large bitcoin theft from a crooked exchange. There was a lot of circumstantial evidence -- the pair had arrived in their host country on the same timeline as you'd expect after exiting evo, they had strong fraud ties, and they held huge amount of bitcoin that couldn't be accounted for simply from their exchange theft.

BBMC also claimed that there were transactions on the blockchain that went from the exchange to an early wallet held by Verto, but BBMC made a lot of claims about blockchain transactions that only made sense to him.

For all of his goofiness, I'm actually somewhat inclined to believe that he found them. Not a sure thing at all, but the timeline matched up too perfectly and the circumstantial evidence backed up what we "knew" about verto and kimble.

I don't think I can post much of the information because it would constitute doxxing, but if you spend enough time going over his old posts you might find it.

NSW was sticking his head around for a little while after evo went scam. He stayed quiet for a bit but came back after he though enough time had passed for reddit's short term memory problem. I think he may have tried vending but my memory is hazy.

As for gwern, he's still around and still collecting data for his site. He will occasionally post when there has been a big DNM event.

I remember that the subpoenas turned up with nothing, the users claiming to have info actually had none

We all evolved into cosmic beings of light and merged into a single gigantic consciousness. I'd surprised you didn't notice.

This was one of my fav days on reddit. Basically nothing happened and we never heard from vert Kimble tho some people including the late great BBMc think verto is this dude who's in china https://news.bitcoin.com/vanished-cryptsy-ceo-big-vern-ordered-to-pay-8m-in-class-action-lawsuit/
