But to me, for what is worth, the hypothesis that he was arrested is still the most likely. Leaving all behind isn't something you do without a warning, in the way he supposedly did.

I somehow doubt the arresting part. Mothered seemed to be on top of opsec, and he wasn't part of the professional refunding scene. But who knows? Maybe dude ran a crime syndicate in some other industry.

The website started getting unwanted attention when it gained popularity, probably got some content strikes too. It was taken down before mothered disappeared.

My guess is mothered started feeling the heat for whatever reason and wanted to disappear. Or something happened healthwise, which is the sucky option.

As I said, we can just speculate. The point is that we wouldn't realistically know if he was involved in some other group. I think the health-issue option is more probable than the fact he left everything behind without a goodbye. Time will tell I guess, maybe he'll come back if that's the case. Still, he will be missed.

Is it the same mothered from socialengineers? If so, that timeline coincides with that website's. There's no seized message, it just doesn't work anymore. You can still get an archived version (actually copying it now).

Same person. Perhaps you can advise how to access his old posts.
