Also I have my own reasons to believe that account belongs to the actual agency, taking into consideration the same cybercrime investigation team behind that arrest not only works for FIOD, but also Dutch police [...]
therefore it wouldn't surprise me at all if
FIODNederland is legit.
I waited a bit before making this reply, as I wanted to see how things develop. And the way they develop is scary. That account seems legit, indeed. It's not only you believing that, nor only me, but many other users, including some high forum officials. It still baffles me why they felt the need to troll Sinbad by creating that
design which was similar to the images
used by Sinbad in their topics. Did they hire a designer to craft them that image? Lol! It's ridiculous that they also wanted to be funny.
We need to brace ourselves!
The government is coming and that old topic of mine, written 4 years ago, shows a reality which surrounds us more and more.
And the recent decision of
banning mixers only proves that. We are on a forum which had free speech as its main goal, yet authorities show once again that is they put some pressure things can change for their benefit. I see more and more eXch as a sort of "
last man standing" in this continuous struggle of preserving people's privacy. In a way, if I may, continuing Cypherpunks' work.
The second request to unlock an inactive account (eXch) was granted, but it seems to me that it happened only due to icopress's close involvement to this question.
This is really good news! I am glad to see you recovered your account!
