Holy shit if true.
First thing: guy has almost no idea of opsec. He posts almost every detail about himself other than photos and his exact coordinates. Apparently down to where he currently lived as of the posts this Reddit thread is referencing, from 2009 - 2015.
On top of everything a lot of these kinds of people who go to these extremes just to fuck random people are probably exhibitionists too. Publishing all these places he's traveling to when so many details of that life attach to his sexcapade blogging, it gets him going. I don't doubt it. Especially since he might be a rapist.
Yes, this is a possibility - under the name Vorkuta, which most of these details were found (
rooshvforum.com)
Homepage archive he goes over a rape charge that him and two friends had on them that got dropped, only because the woman who claimed it couldn't identify which of the men was the rapist. The only thing Vorkuta disagrees with is that he and his friends acted 'appallingly' as the judge described - the Redditor doesn't say if he actually disagreed with the charge. In this post he also mentions dropping the "father" part of his name. The details almost all match up
with this article, including locations, number of people charged, etc. Ben's full name here is "Benjamin Rich-Swift" as you can see, this also matches up, as his name is later just "Benjamin Rich".
Continuing on - Rich has made some confusing comments on how he views rape as a crime at all. Making weird-ass comparisons like his rolex being stolen as if it somehow would have the same weight to an actual rape.
Further details that line up to Ben from Vorkuta's description.
His height - 6'3, check.
Being of Jewish heritage - check, he even wears shirts with the star of david.
Favorite football team? Love of Russia and it's culture, years of living there? Yep.
More than this lines up as well.
Edit: Important notes: the Vorkuta profile mentions marrying into the family of a Russian oligarch. Would explain why he actually has the money to get to all the places he does. Whether this relationship still stands is another thing, but he definitely got out with more cash than he went in with.
It is said to be practically impossible this was just someone trying to emulate him, as all of these juicy details were posted well before Bald started his Youtube vlog.
Another vlogger, Harald Baldr, (funny 'coincidence') real full name
Jens Fredrick Aamodt Jørstad, has been confirmed as a poster on the same site as Ben, too. He DFE'd, so the account that lines up with Ben is unlikely to also be Jens. 'Vorkuta' mentions teaming up with him in his sex tourism adventures in Kiev, in a group they named the Kiev Revo Crew.
Many, many more details abound in the master post, as well as in the comments. It is VERY hard to debate that Vorkuta is actually Benjamin Rich-Swift. But I don't see any direct links to his account on the roosh forum without digging myself. Might do so later if someone doesn't beat me. Very creepy thing to note, Bald has a currently teenage daughter. If every degenerate point in Vorkuta's ramblings matches with Bald's reality, I hope she gets far away from him.
