Inactive Byuu / byuu_nyan / setsunakun0 / Near / David Ginder - "Non-binary" furry programmer who wrote a Super Nintendo emulator, tried to blackmail Null into removing his thread, and is probably actually dead lol

[I Love Beef]

Nooo you gaijins dont get it its because of japanese culture being devoted to work more than family he totally commited byuucide and then cremated himself into the cheapest urn on the market and then erased his suicide record. That happened, I saw Hector say it on the internet.

How long until the domain is released from the registrar? I wonder who is going to buy it and what will be put there.

Good thing the alleged ashes weren't given to his family, but to his employer... for some reason?

The people who push the narrative of Byuu's death have never given a good explanation for why they would send his ashes to his fucking boss. It makes no sense.

I still believe Byuu committed suicide in Aoigahara. He tried to do it by hanging or drugs, but he instead accidentally came across a murder hornet nest which then assailed him and ate his face off. That's my theory anyway. That's why they can't find his body. Also the dialators or transistors or whatever rotted his body quicker than normally.

 

[Joe Cool]

Allegedly he worked for something called "Datapower Development", which is apparently based in Hong Kong and ran by someone called Wayne Beckett, who posted a photo here of him holding a cookie jar with Byuu's name on it. The entire story is weird and there's barely any traces of this supposed Datapower company online.

Sounds like some fly by night remote job with the company having little to no presence in Japan. They wouldn't have been able to sponsor Byuu for a work visa.

This is a quote from the twitter meltdown thread. These companies are barely legal, particularly in Japan where they take fucking with Nintendo & Sony's IP seriously. Beckett is linked to all of these companies I named. I suspect that Marcan was involved with developing, or at minimum advised them, with the savewizard software

A lot of this business is a grey area and even illegal in some countries. That's why the companies operate under so many names (CyberFreak, Hyperkin, DataPower) to insulate them from legal liability. Same thing with the developers, they all use pseudonyms. For instance, that SaveWizard site is probably breaking US law. They are able to sign PS4 save files, and that means that they have circumvented the encryption and are selling it as a service. That's probably not legal in the US.

 

[ForTheHoard]

Giving the ashes to his boss is ridiculous but I've been brainstorming trying to find a scenario where it could be true. What if Byuu was secretly Japanese gay married to Wayne Beckett and he was the beneficiary to his estate?

 

[Croaking Spider]

According to the policies of the registrar, NameSilo, (archive) a .sh domain will take 70 days to be available again after expiration. Apparently though it goes up for auction for 5 to 31 days after expiration.

Sure would be a shame if someone were to buy it and host the content of this thread's OP. Absolutely tragic even.

I assume you mean the Aokigahara Jukai, which is pretty famous for suicide here.
For that reason, there is several times per year a huge search done by officials (with cadaver dogs) and local volunteers to find and remove all "human traces", which means trash that people throw away, the strings that people use to find their way back if they actually decide that they don't want to die, and the bodies themselves. When you actually know the forest, it's not that big (30²km). But because it has a volcanic ground, the soil is very fertile (tons of trees and bushes) and the ground is uneven.

If someone had died there more than six months ago (including in the natural caves), he would most likely have been found.

I'm a newfag where Byuu's concerned but I'm betting it was a heart attack or stroke. It fits with the state department data which looks accurate when you account for Covid sending a big chunk of the expat community home.

So he threatened to kill himself, spread that idea to his associates online, tried to extort Null, and then around that same time had a heart attack or stroke at the age of not-that-fucking-old?

 

[Maximum Girl]

Yeah, it just doesn't logically follow.

We can theorize as much as we want about how Byuu could have died, but even if he had, it absolutely wouldn't go with the show that was put on surrounding his death or the story we were told. Byuu is alive because there's no scenario in which his death makes sense.

Trying too hard to make it match up with data that it isn't actually connected to will just give them ammo to push their fake narrative with and wastes our time.

 

[GradeAGobbleDeeGook]

i thought that the leading theory was that he went willingly missing, which is apparently common in Japan, they call it "Jouhatsu"
people who want to escape their life for whatever reason just pack up and leave, go "missing", and go to a quiet town never to be seen again

In English we call it faking your death.

As a white guy he would stick out like a sore thumb. Knowing the type of foreigner who ends up teaching English in those places he would've been spotted by now.

thats true he would stick out, but i doubt he would be doing any kind of work that requires him leaving his home anymore
there are companies you can pay that help you "evaporate" and towns that cater to people who want to live quietly, my thoughts were he only faked his death outside of Japan, to try and get this site taken down
inside Japan hes never been dead or thought to of been dead, just misising/not heard from and nobody cares, hes definitely not dead because he hasnt popped up on the death list yet
and from what i recall, he went "missing" whilst in possession of hundreds of thousands of dollars of in box Nintendo games so he might have a number of years buffer before he needs to work again anyway
remember, hes "dead" now so nobody is looking for those games

He would by that point illegally be in Japan, as I can't see how he'd have a visa.

It's quite possible he's moved back to the US. Last we heard of his seemingly estranged husband, he was staying in a rental property in Delaware Ohio (again, with the theory about them losing their owned property in Hilliard, Ohio due to an IRS sting about unpaid taxes).
Well, Patrick has moved into a luxury apartment complex called The Pointe back in Hilliard.

I mean, take "luxury" with a pinch of salt, but still. It's one of those "aspirational" neighbourhood-within-a-neighbourhood developments with a concierge, planned social events, a "tavern" etc

They do have studio apartments but these are pitched as the "chalet" plan, and appear to be in those little houses at the back. Patrick is specifically in this complex on Calico Court, and the property developers helpfully labelled some of the different unit numbers on Google Maps;

It seems like the units available in this complex have these floorplans;

and the red dot for 4977 seems right bang in the middle of those balconies rather than at the end of the building with the little balconies, so potentially a two bedroom apartment.

Seems pretty swish for a single man living by himself, no? About $1,700/month in rent (which is eye wateringly cheap for me compared to my local property market).

Is it possible that David's gone back to his husband? They never divorced. We only speculated they were estranged because David zipped off to Tokyo and left his husband alone in Ohio... but we don't actually know what their marriage is like. If he's back with his husband, but hasn't registered to vote, he wouldn't show up on the public voter registration records. which are where all these info sites gather their information from. The IRS stuff could even have been bunk - they might have sold up knowing David was going to Japan with an eye to move into a rental when he got back.

 

[Joe Cool]

He would by that point illegally be in Japan, as I can't see how he'd have a visa.

He wouldn't be able to rent a place without a valid residency card, and even if he managed to find a way around that he would eventually be asked by a cop to produce one (being white will mean this happens less frequently but it really is a question of when not if). Maybe he did have a residency card at some point but circling back to what I said earlier: his HK based employer wouldn't have been able to help him get one.

Dunno if this was posted already, but in the article on Kiwi Farms on Wikipedia, it's claimed that Byuu has been confirmed deceased.

In a Twitter thread posted on June 27, 2021, Near, a pseudonymous Japan-based software developer known for their work on the video game emulator higan, described long-term harassment from Kiwi Farms users. Near, who was non-binary, said that they had endured lifelong bullying but that the abuse had recently centralized around Kiwi Farms, which had "made the harassment orders of magnitude worse".[4][11][67] Near stated that they and their friends had been doxxed and goaded into suicide by members of the website, and that Near had been mocked for being autistic.[4][11][67] On June 28, Hector Martin posted a link to a Google Doc which he said came from a mutual friend of his and Near's, which said that Near had died by suicide, and alleged that the harassment from Kiwi Farms amounted to murder.[11][67][68] Martin subsequently reported on June 28 that he had spoken to police who confirmed that Near had died the previous day.[11][68] USA Today reported on July 23, 2021, that it had confirmed with Near's former employer that they had died.[4]

Martin subsequently reported on June 28 that he had spoken to police who confirmed that Near had died the previous day.

Why would the Japanese police, operating in a country with strong privacy laws, ever confirm to someone not a relative of Byuu that he had died?

Because some criminal fat faggot said so on Twitter.

Muh "no original research" rule totally thrown out the window because troon.

Meanwhile official Japanese government and State Department records, not reliable sources.
