21st of April 2016:
u/throwawaywtfwila makes a thread in
r/BlackOps asking
"[Question] Why would there be 30ish wifi networks seemingly emanating from under a concrete pad?", where he mentions that:
- He lived in a semi-urban farm property for a while and noticed unusual things that aren't the focus of the post.
- He found a hotspot on the ground where 25-30 WiFi networks were emanating from the ground, covering the entire 2.4G spectrum from channels 1-14, where the temperature was significantly higher than on the rest of the ground. Their SSIDs would change every five minutes.
- He drilled a hole on top of the hotspot and some around it, but only the one exactly on top of it would drain and didn't fill up.

Later, on the same day, he's asked if there was any indication of a power source nearby. He answers, reporting there are power lines disconnected from the city's main power grid, and that a neighbor is very wealthy and owns a steel frame building into which the power cables go. He also says the whole mountain area was reportedly used by the military, mostly during World War II.
There are no reported military bases in the specified position, according to
https://militarybases.com/hawaii/, though OP does mention he has no doubt there are underground facilities there - not something I have any means to confirm.
He does also mention a pile of big broken fiberglass pieces on the neighbor's terrain, but again, that cannot be confirmed, given latest satellite images at Google Maps are from 2015, and, at HERE Maps, 2019, but much lower resolution.

Later on the same comment, he asks two other redditors whether they had any thoughts on the heat signature. One of them asks him for pictures of the surrounding area, to which he answers with:

Lower conduit runs under asphalt and toward peak signal point location with corresponding hot spot

A bucket that i found on the property line
No expert, but this really reminded me of hydroxide body parts disposal from breaking bad.
In a reply to such comment, he's asked whether there was any way to measure the thickness of the concrete pad, since if the heat is coming from below one would expect it to dissipate and not be as focused as it seemed. OP replies with:
->

Also about 2x thickness of surrounding area, and appears to have very hard, river rocks mixed in, whereas the surrounding area does not and is very easy to drill through with a hammer drill and masonry bit
And says he attempted to excavate the underside of the concrete pad, getting to approximately two feet from the hotspot location. According to him, it was very hot in there, like the insides of a composting bin, but there were no signs of microbial activity and the soil was red volcanic dirt, which shouldn't have any biological activity.
This is where this comment chain ends. Moving onto the next one, which is our main link to the rest of the story:

OP is asked if he could connect to any of the access points or communicate with the devices to try to get a MAC so a manufacturer could be pinpointed, and also whether the power meter was moving significantly to indicate it was powering lots of devices and if there were any heat vents nearby. He replies that it's possible, but he couldn't crack the passwords. He does not comment about the power meter, but does send a picture of the general area where he supposed heat vents could be hiding:

In the same comment it's also noted that the building seen in the picture was partially built by shady contractors and huge liquid tanks were removed from the ground there, meaning a lot of underground space was available, and that a nearby municipal storm drain was recently removed and a new, significantly bigger one was built in the opposite property line, which he believes could be used as an entrance to an underground are of some sort. Now, for the two most significant parts, and what, IMHO, explains a lot; firstly, OP mentions that on multiple occasions he saw a truck doing late-night trips to move a lot of "busted up", new looking concrete from the trash bins of the neighbors (the neighbor's property was not owned by his old boss - get used to this guy). Secondly, and most importantly, he connected his old boss' account to an Ebay seller going by cheesybay, with extremely suspicious reviews/feedback:
->
https://www.ebay.com/usr/cheesybay
Which was soon set to private, indicating it was possible the owner had seen the comment, to which OP replied:
I'm in a pretty good spot. They won't get me easily.
This thread ends here, but it's not the end of the story. This Ebay account was also selling weird items - "faulty hard drives" and "faulty" electronics - whom, in their right minds, would buy "faulty hard drives" I wonder?
This Ebay account is when this story got linked to PizzaGate, but I won't be going into that merit, for reasons that I'll explain later.
Either way, given how he mentioned his "old boss" and the geographical place he worked at, by looking at maps, it seems to be the place of the "Island Distillers" brewery in Hawaii:

Whose owner was, per:

David Flintstone.
Now we have to move on to another forum:
->
http://archive.is/VIFdQ [FORUM PAGE 3/3, ALL ARCHIVED]
Here, OP (who refers to himself as OP) gives much more in-depth explanations of what we saw in the reddit thread, and writes in a way that sincerely does not resemble how a normal person would write:
When the all-night crowing of these nuisance animals reached the point where OP’s ability to sleep had effectively been taken from him, he responded by developing a program of targeted assassination of the most dominant and correspondingly-noisy males.
It's very funny, but I'm not sure that's how he wanted it portrayed. The reddit thread seems to be a summary of all the forum posts, but it's extremely noticeable that OP was not acting normally, which is exactly what David Flintstone says in a later interview, where we also discover OP's real identity:
->
http://archive.is/G3hu3 [INTERVIEW WITH DAVID FLINTSTONE]
Please ignore the... totally-SFW content on the advertisements.
"He was perfectly normal. I hired him away from another distillery in Seattle. I went there to visit him to make sure he that was what he said he was; I went to his distillery, talked to the owner there, verified his experience. This is because previously I had hired someone else who ended up being a drunk, even though he had verifiable references. He ended up being an idiot. So I went to go see [OP's name]. I visited his house, met his girlfriend, everything checked out okay […] so I hired him. He came out a month or two later and I was very pleased with what we were doing, [but] very displeased with the continued delays on my building project – which had nothing to do with him or me […]"
"Anyway, we would do these little tests […] and everything was going just dandy until… I don’t know, a little while before he disappeared he started getting a little weird."
From reading the forum posts, such weirdness is easily noticeable - from the start of this to when he disappeared he had what David described perfectly as a "persecution complex". He believed he was being chased, and, as per forum posts and David's interview:
"I found some weird stuff in his apartment. He took apart the ceiling fan in his room because he thought someone was spying on him. […]"
"[…] In his bathroom in his medicine cabinet was a clear plastic bag, full of foiled plastic pills that I didn’t recognize. […] I looked up the primary use of these pills and it was some kind of treatment for heroin addiction."
This lines up with my previous impression of his behavior, and pretty much closes this case. He also mentions he has no clue how the link between him and the Ebay seller was made - which, after seeing OP's mental state, I can believe. Many questions are still, and will likely remain, unanswered, such as if there even were those WiFi networks in the first place, the temperature hotspot, and so on.
You can read the reddit thread, forum posts or interview if you want. It's very entertaining and answers questions such as the power lines, and I hope the effort I put into this post was noticed by anyone. The only reason I made this post is because I heard of this case in the past and wanted to dig into it, and Jeffrey Epstein's likely murder / assisted suicide reminded me of it.
Of course, it's
possible that David Flintstone was lying, and after the recent news, anything is to be believed, though personally I stand with him on this given the evidence we have. Even if you only read OP's posts, you can easily notice something was seriously wrong with him, which is honestly sad, given he was described as a great hard-working professional at first.
EDIT: I'll be doing research into this whenever possible, though if you aren't satisfied with this closure, do check
u/cantwithdrawbtc's comment out for further speculation.
I'm posting this to r/conspiracy because I don't quite know a better place to put it, and I suppose you guys also accept this kind of post.
