Federal agents raided a NYC apartment of a former NSA and CIA employee. Ostensibly in conjunction with the Vault 7 leaks. They found over 10,000 CP iimages locally and an IRC filechat server with terabytes of data on it.
The perp's employment here.
"But it’s not clear that the government discovered anything to tie him to the Vault 7 leaks. Instead, the government seized Schulte’s personal computer and found more than 10,000 images and videos of child pornography in an encrypted folder stored on a virtual machine on the device, according to a federal complaint that has been unsealed. The federal government was able to decrypt the folder. According to a court transcript, the passwords Schulte used to encrypt child porn on his computer were the same as the ones he used to login to his bank account online; the criminal complaint says that it was “able to defeat the encryption by entering passwords recovered from a cellular telephone” belonging to Schulte. Schulte consented to a search of his phone, according to the complaint."

Anyone else think the child porn was planted in retaliation for leaking to Wikileaks?

Depends on the investigators who picked him. I mean their names. We have pretty much figured out who the players are in this big game. The smaller operatives only show themselves when indicted, suicided, or open their mouths.
