Blogger meets his Troll

First story about Chris Andrews IP hacking doesn't jibe with second.

The second says "spent in total five to six hours spread over several months on this discovery". In my opinion the stories match up okay.

Commenter using Leo Traynor name says Leo Traynor done it. Then, a few days later out comes a report putting it down to Eddy Carroll's tech genius.

Ah yes, it does appear that Eddy may not have been publicly named at the time of that Leo Traynor comment on broadsheet.

i don't have balls.

Ok, what if someone was taking heat for illegally gaining tracing the Chris Andrews IP to the internet cafe. After all, you could be prosecuted for accessing that data illegally.

Then to create a diversion, they spun this crazy story about the teenage troll?

Wild I know but...

I posted this in a comment earlier today at Resist Radio, which has a good summary of all the questions people have been asking about Leo's story. In short, the IP address assigned to the Internet cafe in the case of Chris Andrews was a publicly registered static IP address - you can see the details for it online at RIPE.net here.

(Had a private residential Internet account been used instead of a public Internet cafe, it would have been much more difficult, if not impossible, to track down the author.)

On another subject, perhaps you might like to share whether or not you've recently come to the Internet, or are a more experienced user who created the TrulyCrazyLady persona purely to post on this thread?

Hello, it's me again. I wanted to revisit this story and see if anyone had any new information.

Paul Clarke posted this interesting piece earlier in the week: http://paulclarke.com/honestlyreal/2012/10/for-whom-the-bell-trolls/

One of Leo's big defenders -- a woman who goes by the name of Fiona Hanley -- attempted to try and have a lawyer friend identify Leo, who it turns out is not Leo after all. Surprise, surprise.

In my mind the whole passport ID strategy (see comments on Paul Clarke post) raises more issues than it answers.

For reasons unknown, there are a group of people doing everything they can to ensure that the identity of Leo Traynor stays hidden. They don't seem to be believe it's relevant that his fantastical story was marketed to the world as something written by a person named Leo Traynor, not an unknown person using the Leo Traynor pseudonym.

In any case if anyone would like to share any information about this with me privately, I can be reached at my pseudonymous email: josiexmiller@gmail.com

Thank you.

Evert Bopp.. because he'd never tell a lie!

Did the other guy actually say he has met him in real life?

With all due respect georgiecasey, Everett Bopp is what you find when you look up bull****ter in the dictionary.

What I have noticed is that a lot, if not all, of those claiming to have met Leo Traynor IRL parse their language quite carefully and avoid the pseudonym question.

All this silly cloak and dagger stuff raises an even bigger question in my mind, namely why on earth are so many people behaving in such a ridiculous fashion?

Not working for me, Whitesands.But thanks anyway.

I'm not sure what you mean but I'm guessing you're suggesting Leo Traynor was a bought and paid for shill for Israel.

If that's the case, your theory doesn't work for me. Sorry.

If it's something else, then I've failed to understand.

any updates on whether leo traynor was real or not?!

Self-important blogger that no-one's ever heard of.
Who gives a flying ****? Would be my question

Why would the parents be so quick to call the police? Wouldnt he need admin access to twitters servers to track his ip too?
Looks like a work of fiction.
