If you guys have been following news from the same time mothered disappeared, there was a huge refunder bust operation. Mothered was probably part of this operation. Either that or they are laying low due to this operation. This was several months back, but that would be the reason 100%.

He disappeared August last year. As far as I am aware, the only groups that were in the news around that time were ARG and REKK. I highly doubt he was involved with either and the timing didn't line up.

There were more than just those groups. They were also focusing on the T.gram groups. The ones that didnt really spawn from forums. Think covid fraudsters. For example Noir refunds. There was an insider to the LE operation that mentioned a number of nearly 300 people being targeted. But that could be faulty, and inflated. They definitely went after customers too, so maybe that high number is from that. But yes there was more than just REKK and ARG involved in the operation. Probably a lot of random t.gram groups. Some big groups just went dark, like copperhorse. Who knows.

Going strictly by verifiable information, there's no evidence he was a part of any groups. If he was, they were never advertised here. I'm not sure if he even used TG, as he never shared his handle. He often cautioned people about recklessness/greed, so it would be a bit of a contradiction. Not saying impossible, but I find it less likely.

Also worth mentioning that he disappeared on the day of the site's anniversary. The possibility of death/arrest/retirement are all very real, but no evidence to point to anything in particular.
