I posted in DNMUK but not had a response, has anyone heard from him? It's an unusual absence for one of the more active mods
TheEconomist1 AWOL for 3 months ?

He did say
my attendance will be spotty as I am still recovering but I'm finally in a better position to be able to get access to my Tails securely
This was right after the AB-Hansa bust announcement.

Im curious why does this matter to you in the slightest ? Its still reddit and mods are shuffled in or out all the time
[1 Points] basjin:
he has some health issues.
this isnt the superlist here, stop talking about security/trust related issues
[1 Points] dnmthrowawayobvious:
Well there’s a couple of issues. Apparently his PGP key listed in the super list has expired and there is very little evidence of him using any other key that has not expired yet, therefore his return will raise lots of questions. Wombat said he would search for proof of the key in use but no update was ever given.
Second he’s said in the past he’s had health issues, when this question was brought to the attention of the mod team wombat said that he would attempt to ask others mods who have different avenues to contact Econ. No update was ever given.
Econ is one my favorite people I have ever met on this sub and I have a feeling his account will be put back to use soon. I just hope this person who is behind the account is verifiably the same person we’ve all come to know and love.
If he’s not seen in the next couple months I’m sure there will be some sort of coup d'état by the current mod teams to remove him in fear of the worst.

He's always gone forever. Nothing new.

Dude all feds retire eventually.

He's probably vacationing in the Hamptons or some shit.
He has taken extended breaks before and we were well aware of this one. I was actually surprised he popped back in after the hansa deal until glad he did. His does have an unexpired pgp key that he will use to sign a return message.
This is not an unexplained or unforeseen absence, the mods knew all about it.
