Ran across this rather cogent investigation into the identity of who Guccifer 2.0 is. Adam Carter, the investigator, ties it to a hack done in 2011 by a group named Lulzsec. It was right after financial services engaged in denial of services to Wikileaks. Very interesting take on things. Even alleges WaPo's involvement in constructing a false cover.

Lulzsec & Sabu
Back in 2011, soon after financial service providers engaged in what were tantamount to economic sanctions against WikiLeaks (denial of service by banks and payment service providers, blocking donations and freezing the funds of WikiLeaks) a group of hacktivists formed operating under the name of "Lulzsec". The timing may have been coincidental but one of the first tasks they took on was dubbed "Operation Payback", an operation targeting one of those payment providers, PayPal.
...
They exposed shadowy tech firms such as HB Gary, Palantir & Berico and the social media sockpuppet management tools they were pitching at that time exposing business dealings relating to the US Air Force, US Chamber of Commerce and Bank of America. They also acquired emails from Stratfor too.
It was also reported that some of the above firms had proposed systematic attacks against WikiLeaks.
....
After a couple of months of the opposite occurring, I felt my suspicions had been reinforced enough that I was prepared to make an "interim attribution", which I did, naming Shawn Henry (President of CrowdStrike Services and its Chief Security Officer) and Dmitri Alperovitch (Co-founder and Chief Technical Officer of CrowdStrike) as being those most likely behind the Guccifer 2.0 persona.
I wrote an article explaining how they had effectively set the scene up via a Washington Post article for Guccifer 2.0, the day prior to his emergence. I even publicly tried querying CrowdStrike's claims (following failed attempts at discreetly communicating with them, of course).

Crowdstrike is Guccifer 2?
Does this guy say why Crowdstrike would do this?
migratorypatterns ago
Believe that was answered previously. Remember the two payments to Crowdstrike? They were timed just before two the deaths of Seth Rich and Shawn Lucas so they were working in conjunction.

So is it this? The leak happened , possibly related to Seth Rich and Shawn Lucas, Crowdstrike is buds with Soros and DNC so they make up Guccifer 2.0 persona to make it appear that someone with mental health issues is behind the leaks...to discredit? Sorry, I am a bit thick on these IT stories....
migratorypatterns ago
Pretty much. Be sure to add in that Guccifer was Russian. That's a key component in launching the fake narrative.
Are_we_sure ago
Who was working in conjunction? Isn't the conspiracy supposed be between the DNC and Crowstrike? And Guccifer 2 the guy calling them out?
The DNC paid Crowdstrike. So how does Guccifer 2 help Crowdstrike or the DNC?
Also Seth Rich and Shawn Lucas were friends? First I'm hearing of this.

Oh my God. And Molly Macauley was killed the same weekend as Seth Rich.
migratorypatterns ago
You are completely correct. I forgot about that.
First homicide since 1998. Not suspicious at all.
carmencita ago
Yes, well her jobs in the field of Space Science could also play in, but maybe just her knowing Seth Rich was enough for them. But there must have been someway they knew that she knew something.

With all the hacking, wiretapping they were doing, it would be more surprising if something got by them!

They thought they probably created the perfect scenario. Robbed at night. Drug Overdose, whether on purpose or not. Pay off another coroner. But really the botched it. There are so many unanswered questions, they will never hear the end of it.
migratorypatterns ago
Yes, they botched it big time, but it doesn't even matter. Nobody's doing anything. The cork is in the bottle and nothing's getting out. That's the frustrating part. People can collect all the evidence they want, and it won't change a thing.

Yes, and I have read before that Seth Rich and Molly knew each other, just as Seth and Shawn were friends. Here is one of the comments and I think it is a pretty smart analogy. 'The Sy Hersh phone call indicates that Seth had friends who also had access to the dropbox he offered to Wikileaks. If Seth and Shawn were indeed friends, I bet that Shawn also knew about the dropbox. And I'll bet the people who murdered Seth had found out about this, and so had to kill Shawn too. My theory is that the people who created the Guccifer 2.0 hoax had to kill Seth - and anyone else who could prove that Seth was the leaker - in order to prevent their fraud from being exposed. It is speculated that, before his murder, Seth was interrogated under torture while drugged - and this might be how the killers learned about Shawn' involvement."

The assassination of whistle blowers and journalists should be an accepted fact by now.
Hypothetically speaking, if he were talking with multiple co-workers about the "injustices" he saw that would have been a mistake. Most people wouldn't think it was something worth killing over so a co-worker who disagreed with him could have taken it to his superiors thinking he would at most be fired.

Yes, well that whole night needs to be reconstructed. Turns out, Joe Capone, owner of Lou's City Bar, is now saying Seth Rich was never in there. Remember how he had this whole story about how depressed Seth was and that he was going to Wonderland, well, it never happened. And Seth was broken up with that skank lying girlfriend. Damn, I could never stand her. So where he was and who he talked to falls back to being a complete mystery because the parents won't allow Seth's phone or laptop to to be examined.
carmencita ago
Yes, I remember the whole Wonderland story. WONDERLAND again? Why would he say he went there when he did not. A Head Scratcher. He really seemed happy with her in the pics I saw, but maybe he did not know she was part of the plan. Who knows. I hope something comes of this. If nothing else, more exposure.

Well, look how happy Assange seems with honey pot Pamela Anderson?
These gals know how to work it.
carmencita ago
Work it Baby, Work it!
migratorypatterns ago
Ha!
carmencita ago
I bet she can. No wonder her and T Lee were married twice.

And she snagged Kid Rock. Gotta have that X factor.
