Relevancy: Guccifer 2.0 was connected to the original DNC alleged hack of John Pedosta so Guccifer 2.0 is central to investigation of how the emails and DNC servers were compromised. Without the leak, no pizzagate.

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).
