Just a couple of things I found while researching, then forgot, then remembered.
Here's Hector Martin saying that lolicon is "considered acceptable in Japanese otaku culture" with regards to Pawoo.

Reminder that Pawoo is the same Mastodon instance that his own Mastodon instance (treehouse.systems) had to block due to the rampant amount of CSAM it had.
Some more interactions with rapist Liz-Fong Jones. Apparently Hector Martin worked at Google's Dublin office:

Worth nothing that his prediction of an "imminent threat" to Twitter did not come to pass. Which is not surprising, because Marcan is so horrible at being right I wouldn't trust him to accurately predict if the sun came up tomorrow.
And Marcan apparently locked himself out of his Hacker News account:

Now some Byuuicide-related stuff:
He claims to have contacted Byuu's closest friends and next of kin "across countries and timezones".

Which friends? Barely anyone has come forth to talk about being his friend. The only person who has (who didn't fake it) to my knowledge is some furfag named
Blum.
Speaking of "what Near wanted", there's this tweet about donation drives, which was noticed before:
"Never"? That's a bit strong.
Aw, someones scared of being in trouble for donation scams when the truth comes out.
"I've been told"
From who?
Hector's digging himself a hole here.

People have already pointed out how convenient it is that this avoids any potential legal consequences from running a fundraiser in the name of an alive person, and asked who exactly told him this, but I want to ask another question: Why would Byuu tell anyone this? If I were to kill myself the last thing I'd care about is if people hold donation drives in my name. Unless he was faking it...
I missed this, but Marcan claims that not only did he sit down for an interview with a police detective, but
one of Byuu's friends was there too:

Is this the same person who supposedly wrote the Google doc? And, why would they be there at the same interview with him? Did they report the suicide threat to the police too? Why wouldn't the police just do a separate interview with them?
And speaking of the Google doc, this last tweet gets the noggin joggin:
source (

He mentions meeting up with Byuu in Akihabara. Coincidentally, the Google doc (the same one with the story about being on call while Byuu was hanging himself and doing nothing about it) also mentions meeting up with Byuu in Akihabara:
Unknown person said:
I last saw Near on June 9. We had sushi in Akihabara, and then sat down for a cup of coffee. I was a bit busy that day, but I was looking forward to inviting them over to hang out again soon.
As I mentioned before, this likely means the supposed "anonymous mutual" lives in Japan too, but if Hector also mentions Akihabara... maybe he really did just write the document himself and pass it off as some "anonymous mutual".
