      It is funny, but I totally understand not raising an eyebrow at a user who claims to be a grizzled old vet having outlandish/exaggerated stories to tell any audience he can get his hands on. At the same time, I wouldn't have raised an eyebrow at his death personally, even though it did feel a bit too tidy in hindsight, in the moment I'd have likely just said RIP and moved on (assuming I cared at all, which I likely wouldn't have).

    I heard someone float the idea that Milo actually stands for military Information Liaison Officer. It's a position referenced in intelligence handbooks. The guy who took over for him has a name that is common military jargon in Britain as well (twosix).

    • @belgebelgravia100
      @belgebelgravia100 2 роки тому +482

      It's interesting that he uses British military slang as well. He mentions that he served in Palestine from 1946-1949. This refers to the British occupation of Mandatory Palestine from Israeli and Arab militia within the province. As far as I know, Americans did not serve or even assist Britain or the opposing forces in Palestine until the Israeli declaration of independence in 1948.
      MILOs also served exclusively in Cold War-era Germany in intelligence gathering operations and not in Mandatory Palestine.
      Which is strange because he mentions being raised in Pennsylvania and being American. It's seems, if any part of this story is true, it means that this man is not in fact an American, but a Brit.

      It's not necessarily a British thing. In the US military those are callsigns. The first number designates what squad or platoon. The second number is their position. 6 is the officer in charge. 7 would be the highest NCO. It was even mentioned that 2-6 is a position not a specific person. Which checks out

    There's no goddamn way Milo was really who he said he was. Born in 1930 and enlisted in the armed forces at age thirteen, fought in both World War II and the Vietnam War at some of the most famous and historically important battles of the century, but decides to retire from the military and retrain in his mid fifties to become a software engineer? That's already highly suspect. On top of that, he's somehow still employed at nearly eighty years old and yet has the time to converse with people on social media and moderate a subreddit created to host explicit images of underage girls, yeah fucking right. And of course he's a grizzled old war horse who is mean and ornery but has at least one friend in Angel Two Six who conveniently knows about his activities on Reddit and is willing to make an account just to tell everyone on his disgusting child pornography message board that he's passed away. The entire story absolutely reeks of fakery and bullshit. I also don't believe that any of these guys were secretly hitmen for hire or coordinated mercenaries. I believe they really wanted to be, but they were miserable maladjusted child-lovers who only felt comfortable among their own ranks. There's no way these losers were traveling around the world committing high profile assassinations.

Like how Nexpo has some freaky shit but leans moreso into the mysterious, Lazy has some mysterious shit that leans more into the downright disturbing. Both channels are brilliant. My only problem with either one is I have no more footage to watch until the newest video comes out, because I got so addicted.

    I did my own investigation awhile back. One thing you didn’t mention is that many of the archived photos also add extra layers of perplexity, some of which add to the strangeness of the story, given the context.
    1. Locations - many of the pictures feature locations from around the world. On the surface, these look like tourist photos. However, the pictures aren’t of famous sites or typical travel features (landscape views, selfies, activities, etc.). Many of them are outside pictures of hotels and nondescript buildings, things that would otherwise be uninteresting to the average tourist.
    2. Architecture - some of the pictures are odd, out of place photos of doors and windows, with no context or description. Others are of specific entry points with a particular focus on signs that denote the entry point as being alarmed.
    3. The woman - There are several photos posted across different years that feature an Asian woman in various locations around the world. It is the same woman in all the pictures.

      Further to this; if you read the final line in the bottom post at 38:05 - there is a very dubious line from the LCQP admin noting how everyones"pics, hard work, and memories" were hosted on the site.
      _Memories_ is the odd part that stuck out to me here. Hard work could imply the effort of gathering JB image collections, ...but "memories?" - to me this suggests images relating to the jobs were hosted on the site.
      Makes sense for a global operation - someone scouts out the location and uploads entry points etc, and those executing whatever mission travel in with increased success rate due to better planning / having appropriate tools etc.
      OP I've not seen the pictures you but I would imagine it's all evidence, and, if the places could be tracked down, it may be possible to ask around and find out what strange events happened during the relevant timeline at the locations. This could prove an important piece of the puzzle in confirming or denying the claim that the jobs were "heist/smuggling ops".
      Hope you have the pics archived.

He is a great storyteller and setting the atmosphere in this way would make sense whether he actually used a licensed P.I. (or multiple) or if he just asked his roommate to "investigate" some links...

    It's possible the "Don't use these Email Contacts" link could be an anti-scraper tool.
    Back in the day some web developers (myself included) would add a page that contained "garbage" addresses in hopes it would flood web scrapers with useless information.

    The way he says his age a few times in different threads while talking to people makes it feel like someone’s trying to establish a character. Most old people don’t want to reveal their age online because they feel like they’re taken less seriously. They benefit from the anonymity more than most because they can just be taken for their knowledge and experience. It’s definitely suspicious that a person would state their age more than once.

  • @justin2308

    My current working theory: Mike was a technical writer who was down on his luck yet ambitious. He originally started the Crystal Wind page to try and create a consulting firm, but in the end it amounted to nothing. Parallel to this, he began getting involved with the wrong crowd, a CP ring that was highly skilled when it came to technical stuff (that line of code could’ve very well just been a project one of them had been showing off). They would even meet up, forming a sort of close-knit community (probably all the same locale too, since it operated solely from New Jersey and they seemed to expect everyone to know why the site would be down due to storms).
    Along the way, Mike created a couple of online personas that could be seen on the well-tread pages of the Internet, where he indulged in his fetish more openly and even hosted his own image sharing website to the point he got tired (or paranoid) of the mainstream and decided to start killing his more-public personas one by one to separate himself from them and go back into obscurity. Eventually, probably because he finally wanted to get his life back on track or something much darker (maybe he even got a job which explains how he can pay for the site), he disappeared entirely and the main HQ for his former pornography crew to gather kept getting traded to new admins who couldn’t keep it running (and, considering that most of them just up and ran, probably had to escape the country or were arrested). DSF would eventually be pretty much the only place left, only for the 2017 event to take place. My guess is that Mike changed his ways and came back with a vengeance, tearing everything apart for his former comrades, but that probably is too optimistic. Another guess could be that someone realized they could get got by authorities and attempted to cover their tracks.

      I’m not personally convinced that the html comment messages were left there to generate public interest in the goings-on of TOGIH. Everyone involved in this story was 100% aware that creating that site was a personal burden and quite literally a high-risk venture. They didn’t host ads because they *couldn’t* host ads- the website’s content would literally blockade any such opportunity. The site was being targeted to a very specific community and was not being advertised outside of those bounds. It makes no sense to want eyes on the site outside of those that would vehemently want the site to remain online because it would be the site’s undoing. These people were into some pretty fucked up shit.
      I wonder if it was an extension of the roleplaying he did on Reddit. He was so dedicated to this military persona and had the time to back it up with some research. The reason I feel this way is specifically because of the TI DMCA comments- he either left that there for himself or there *was* some community, that was interacting with his web ventures in a way we don’t have a history for because it wasn’t public.
      There is zero chance it was tied to an assassination, though.

Milo is active he was also ex mil and an active soldier of fortune dudes a confirmed piece of shit but he was active and that kept his mind active. Doesn’t justify his actions it just explains why he was so coherent for someone his age despite his….. very offensive proclivities. My grandma and others who I know who worked as clerks or customer service are all severely mentally and physically ill. All of the elderly folks I’ve met,60 year old driver for ups I helped when I was a seasonal driver helper for 3 years(the other 2 years from his recommendation because he thought I was a hard worker unlike other people my age) dude could throw 100 pounds over his shoulder like a feather and had more energy than I did and was fit af(he chugged Mountain Dew and are gummy worms like a monster on breaks like wtf this dudes a monster).

      The thing for me though is it goes sooo far back. 1999?! Its weird to me that the whole lore of it all was so established back then, while the 'inciting incident' was so recent and complicated. Which also took place in a disturbing subreddit people arent exactly going to share with their friends.
      Like for an ARG, this is incredibly well done. Its almost implausibly well constructed and patiently executed.

      I agree with you but I have met some people in their 70s on the Internet but it's mostly UA-cam which is very believable, I've Also seen a 55 year old UA-camr (Atomic Shrimp) who used to work at IT but quit because his UA-cam videos (he makes variety content) got really popular, honestly a 50 year old still working at IT is much more believe then someone who's nearly 80 still working at IT, also I do believe it's possible that a 50 year old (Milo was "50" during the 1990s) watched animaniacs when it aired and loved it but it's highly unlikely, it's much more believable if he made refrences to some cartoon made in the 30s instead (I've seen some 50 year olds on UA-cam, Twitter, etc make refrences to shows made in the 60s which is very plausible as that's what they grew up with)

    I know exactly what the page at 43:28 is supposed to be! I've unfortunately forgotten who originally made this and what it was called (this was in late 1990s), but basically, someone wrote a program that you could deploy on your own web page that would generate random email addresses and links that would lead to the same page. The idea was that bots that harvested email addresses for spammers would have their database flooded with bogus addresses, and get caught in a loop of fetching that stuff over and over. That's why the link to the page says "Don't use these email contacts"; the thing is supposed to be a bait for the bots and not exactly intended for human readers. As said, I don't remember who originally made the thing, but it was open source and it was widely discussed among the anti-spam community at the time.

    Old Internet (and early Reddit I guess had a similar feeling, just like the first social networks) had a very unique existence.
    It was the vanguard of tech, yet it was so much primitive compared to today tech that feels way older than 20 years.

More so when we attuned to a potential liar-involved mystery.
      As for the guy killed in Dubai, who knows and who cares. As said in the film " casino" someone's always listening or watching or yea. So if people are on some belief you whacked God knows who over God knows what then DON'T bring down the entire shit showering shenanigans by running your mouth about the TONS of money your making over here that's not broken at all but running like a fucking Swiss watch on Hitler's fucking trains!

    A theory I have that many people never mentioned was this: Lake City was known for making bullets (which are shaped like pills) back in the day, especially during wars, so a man who had combat experience saying he "delivers Lake City Quiet Pills, for those who need shutting up" is obviously a euphemism for killing snitches or other paid targets. Milo was a hitman who either operated out of Lake City or knew about Lake Cities history and thus used it for his service, probably as a false lead. While I have my doubts about WHICH combat experiences Milo had, as well as his true age, I don't doubt that he had SOME combat experience.
    I think he was someone who might've been in the Gulf Wars of the 90's, probably in his mid 40s to early 50s (at the time of the reddit post), and he couldn't find work after he left the military, so he decided to use his training of killing people effectively to start up or join a hitman program. It's not uncommon for former cops and servicemembers to become hitmen, so I don't think my theory is too far out of the realm of possibilities. As for race/ethnicity, my guess would be that he was Muslim, as his username "ReligionOfPeace" could be a reference to the claim that Islam is the religion of peace, which could explain why that killing happened in Dubai. But, it could just be a coverup to throw people off. A lot of people on the suspected hitman team I saw in the video looked White so Milo could have been White.
    Obviously this doesn't explain EVERYTHING, but it's a solid enough theory with enough evidence supporting it for me, so I'll just leave it at that.
    On a side note, Angel 2-6 is probably a military callsign, so he could have been a friend of Milo, but most likely they were the same person. Milo (if that is his real name) probably "died" so he could disappear off the face of the internet and not have any questions asked, as well as having a "friend" say that he died on the forum he was known at to avoid questions again.
    Or maybe, I'm just overthinking all of this. Maybe LCQP was just a mercenary company that had ties to New Jersey and South Africa, and 2-6 & Milo were truly as old as they were thought to be. Maybe everything I said was wrong. Who knows. I suppose only time will tell.
    Edit: Before you ask, yes, I know Nexpo talked about the Lake City Quiet Pills thing in this video, but I've seen many other videos on this subject that failed to dive deeper into it beyond the name.

      Uhm I think you got that whole assumption about Milos race or ethnicity wrong.
      Him having the name "ReligionofPeace" is a clear mockery towards Islam because people who tend to be against the religion use that phrase as an insult in an ironic fashion (at least online, especially in forum culture). I don't know if you've watched the Nexpo video fully but he also goes to mention that that Crystal Wind website got changed after 9/11 with the phrase as you can check in the video : "You pig-spawned lovers of goats..."
      Now if that's not just a hateful way of saying that you actually hate those people and their religion then I don't know what is.
      This would also prove the notion where it was somewhere mentioned in the video that Milo was just a very right-wing leaning American, nothing more.
