I rewrote the kuz article. Suenonynm's dox was included but after talking with another wiki editor we removed the name "Stefan" (Mikhail's son) because he looked nothing like the alleged Kuz from that one selfie. That selfie isn't substantiated either though so I included both of them padded with disclaimers. For what it's worth, Kuz uses the name "Carter J Kuznets" on one of his websites (obviously not to be trusted)
https://archive.ph/iwbFT so I used that tentatively since we have no concrete name. I added the bit about Memphis Tennessee because it was found on this thread through his steam account (and from his IPs). If you'll tell me what's wrong with the new article I'll fix it.
Well, I think that we should be hesitant to include Stefan as well. He could very well be a sibling. In any case these are muddy waters that are unlikely to be cleared soon since interest in kuz is pretty low now that everyone knows he is just a larper. That selfie however...
That selfie is another curiosity. Unless its poor lighting, that guy seems way too dark skinned to be kuz. BUT I am not saying it isn't, as the source of the image is highly interesting If I recall, its a post from an old imageboard kuz made before he was a microceleb, it contained only some of his friends, and one such friend posted that image with a caption like "meet the man himself" alluding to kuz - no reverse search. And, most suspiciously, though kuz lacklusterly censored the Eduardo Folts incident, at least later in his rule, he never let up on the total blackout on info about that picture which is why it wasn't well known till kuz was ousted.
I think the article is... okay. I dislike how it neglects to mention that froot said that doll was lying about the russian mafia phone calls. Or how it flips between calling max a kuz persona and saying he was responsible for actions. I think doll, being the biggest reciever of kuz's vitriol in his final days, is an unreliable source, as him and kuz have a personal rivalry that presents a huge conflict of interest if you include dolls frivolous claims.
My biggest gripe, and the one I have recieved the most flak for despite being one of kuz's biggest critics since day 1, is that there is 0 substantiative proof that kuz posted CP on the site, and the fact that doll claims he banned kuz for doing so, on his bare home IP, "80 times" seems unbelievable. There were multiple kuz era whistleblowers, yet none of them ever mentioned this. No other kuz-era mod has confirmed this either. Also, why kuz would do that in the first place remains an unanswered question. I didnt say much about it because it feels like beating a dead horse. Kuz's reputation has been destroyed rightfully so. Whether he posted CP himself or had someone else do it... We know its one or the other at this point. Is the distinction worth debating? But still, the wannabe civil rights lawyer in me doesn't like the presumption of guilt.
He has been forced to move to crypto scams, one of which he tried to shill on thekuz.win. I have corroborating evidence that he is currently doing pump and dump schemes on the internet but its not strong enough that I feel comfortable sharing it, lest I perhaps accuse a random cryptobro of being someone he is not.
EDIT: As for kuz getting banned - I am aware that this happened, and that he posted gay porn, shota, and other rule breaking content, and I can accept the idea of his large mod team keeping quiet on this, but the complicity of a dozen or more people about the main admin posting child porn on his own website? That is hard to believe, and in any case, dolls failure to do anything about it for an entire year, and on top of that, giving 10 grand to the guy, says alot about him and whether we should take him seriously as an arbiter of moral standards.
Do you have any proof to snopes verify this? You were the one to start this rumour all the way back, yet I haven’t seen any proof of the claim you proposed.
Yeah, I’d appreciate some proof.
Sorry, I just saw it on an image some time ago. I didn't say much more about it because I could not prove it. I don't expect others to believe that claim without evidence, as I would ask for it myself. It was posted in an anonfiles zip containing a frootcord leak that was discussed here when it happened, but I don't know if that link is still active
