We don't know that. It might have but they're not going to move fast on something like this. I wouldn't say for sure until a couple years have passed, both because it is low priority enough they could blow it off entirely and even if they didn't they have swatters trying to get Congresspeople shot and even that took years.and it went nowhere.
We don't actually know that for sure. We just know it's gone nowhere yet. It's been said investigations like this can take awhile when it comes to the feds.Hasn't this been talked to death already? aaron submitted all of this to the feds in his attempt to get a full investigation going into the cybercrime nick committed
and it went nowhere.
We'll find out soon enough, hopefully we're in for a reverse Uno card for the TRO hearing, with Nick finding out how unimpressed the judge will be for calling the ex-parte order "bullshit" and proceeding to embarrass Aaron further.
Question, and a slight conspiracy theory. What if Nick called Moody and allowed HIM to access all of Aaron's data from Nick's PC, hence the zip file that Melton was pretty damn confident existed back when he freaked out when his chat informed him that it was a federal crime.
Minnesota is a beautiful state. Love going there for vacation… buts its practically Midsommar (2019) with the local government and then there’s the mix in of Somolians.
You're really ruining my zen thing man.
Its not Nick. Just because an account is accessible doesn't mean your authorised to do so.
How does this generate screenshots of post-departure Google history, Nick? What's your point? If anything you just admitted to profiling Aaron then intentionally creating harassing content.
Okay Nick, I'll take you at your word. Its reasonable you could figure out who would group together to fuck with you. A little bit of deductive work, good job.
But how exactly could you deduce the EXACT nature of their conversations? How did you make this deduction only four days after Elissa emailed Aaron?
For all my critique of Moody of being a hyper-analytic faggot, it also works in his favour.
Aaron aught to come at this clear but very concise, as the history is really convoluted. Help the judge understand what happened in full, concisely, respectfully, & as honest as possible. Nick has drowned three court cases in a tonne of shit as a tactic. Explaining what went on, in a simple yet strong & clear way will likely help Aaron more than anything at this point. He hasn’t sold the milk cow just yet, I think the editing process will be his biggest gun in the upcoming HRO hearing on July 15th. If he can condense 2000 words into 500, it’ll help a lot.
Exactly, government time can move at a pace on par with molasses.
The government should begin its' argument to the grand jury by going "I feel I must warn this fine jury that the information I am about to display is graphic and disturbing in nature. Ladies and gentlemen behold: The Balldo."
I dunno how he can claim that when he posted screencaps (being reposted here by @Sneed Force One and others right now) of him going through Aaron's browser history. Browser history that was generated POST leaving the Quover, no less! I dunno how that's not "use." You'd think that he kinda fucked himself on that one.
MAPton is a tech wiz too, I think his degree is in computer science I forget. Either way both of them do black hat type shit. The problem is Aaron has to prove it. And the only way possible is if someone snitches, or something is discovered that could only have come from Aaron's personal Google account.
God damn...how sad and shitty is his life in New Zealand when a pedophile in Las Vegas alogging a shitty radio show in Minnesota is his "passion"? He must have no family or real friends to get himself so involved in retarded internet slap fighting halfway across the world.
He rage-quit a stream last week because he couldn’t sort the audio. Don’t give him too much credit.
Dabbleverse certainly doesn’t keep Moomoo around because of his wit filled bullshit ‘moral’ faggotry. Then again, it’s Dabbleverse, so they could think that’s amazingly brilliant shit.
A dreaded sunny day
Absent being given permission to do so, Nick's access of Aaron's chrome/ google/ whatever account is a Federal and a MN crime. Absent being given permission by Aaron to do so, it would also be a Federal (and MN) crime for Moody to do so. If Nick (lol) never looked at Aaron's account but gave it so someone else to do so, he's abetted a crime at a minimum.
In Minnesota, your friend accessing your Gmail, browsing your history, or reading personal emails without your authorization may indeed be illegal under state law:
1. Unauthorized Computer Access (Minn. Stat. § 609.891)
- This law defines a crime as intentionally accessing a computer or electronic terminal without authorityen.wikipedia.org+10revisor.mn.gov+10brunolaw.com+10.
- Merely reading your emails or browsing your history qualifies as “gaining access to personal data,” which is classified as a gross misdemeanor — punishable by up to 364 days in jail and/or a fine up to $3,000 .
2. Computer or Electronic Data Theft (Minn. Stat. § 609.89)
- If your friend not only reads but also retains, copies, or publishes your data (e.g., tells others or distributes screenshots), that can be charged as data theft.
- A misdemeanor (≤90 days jail, ≤$1,000 fine) if the “value” is low, or
- A felony—up to 5 years in prison or a $10,000 fine—if the value exceeds $500 revisor.mn.gov.
3. Invasion of Privacy (Minn. Stat. § 609.746)
- There’s also a statute against using technology to invade someone’s privacy without consentmcdonoughlawfirm.com.
- Reading private emails or personal browsing history falls squarely within that protection, although it's less often used than the computer-access statutes.
Summary
Action Potential Charge Logging into your Google account (with your password) Not a crime Friend browsing your emails or history Gross misdemeanor for unauthorized access Friend tells others or copies your data Could be misdemeanor or felony under data theft statute Friend invaded your privacy Potential additional charge under invasion of privacy law
Next Steps
- If this happened to you, you may consider:
- Reporting it to local law enforcement or the prosecutor’s office.
- Consulting a Minnesota criminal-defense or civil attorney (some privacy violations may also support a civil lawsuit).
Yes—reading your private Gmail and browsing history without signing you out can be a crime in Minnesota, typically starting with a gross misdemeanor for unauthorized access, and potentially escalating to more serious charges if they retained or shared your data.
Takeaway
If your friend let someone else access your Google account (still logged in on their device) and that person read your emails or browsing history, Minnesota law still likely treats this as a criminal violation, and possibly even more serious. Here's how it breaks down:
The person your friend allowed to access your account could be charged with unauthorized computer access, because:
1.
Even if your friend didn’t “hack” anything, accessing someone’s private information without permission is illegal, regardless of whether you left the account open.
- You did not authorize them.
- They accessed private, non-public digital content (your email, browsing history).
Key Point: Consent to use a device (e.g., your friend’s computer) is not the same as consent to access a Google account that isn’t theirs.
Penalties (for each unauthorized person):
- Gross Misdemeanor: Up to 1 year in jail and/or $3,000 fine.
- May escalate to felony if data was shared or copied (see next).
If either your friend or the person they allowed to access your account read or shared personal emails or web history with others, that could fall under:
2.
- Sharing your private messages, even verbally or by screenshot, could qualify as unauthorized use or dissemination of private data.
- If they “retain, use, or disclose” that data, they may be charged — and this can be a felony if any harm results.
Even if your friend didn’t personally read or share your data but knowingly let someone else do it, they could be liable under aiding and abetting laws:
3.
- A person who “intentionally aids, advises, hires, counsels, or conspires” in the commission of a crime is criminally liable as a principal.
That means both your friend and the third party could be charged — potentially as if they each committed the same crime.
Imagine you log in at your friend’s house and forget to sign out. They:
Practical Example
That’s likely:
- Later notice your email is open.
- Let their sibling browse your messages.
- The sibling tells others what they read.
- Unauthorized access by the sibling (gross misdemeanor or felony).
- Aiding and abetting by your friend.
- Potential invasion of privacy and civil damages.
What You Can Do
- Document what was accessed, who viewed it, and who was told.
- Change your Google password and enable 2FA immediately.
- Consider contacting:
- Law enforcement (for a criminal complaint).
- A civil attorney (for a potential privacy or defamation claim).
I'm not a fan of AI for any real analysis, but it's a summary. I don't recall why this was referred solely to the Feds, because although of course the burden is on the prosecution to prove it, if there's evidence Nick accessed the account/ browser history/ email, and there's no evidence that authorization was given, it should be prosecutable both at the state and Fed levels. The statutes don't immediately appear to require a showing of harm.Yes — accessing someone’s email or personal online account without authorization, even if the account was left open, can also be a federal crime under U.S. law. Here's how it breaks down:
18 U.S.C. § 1030
1. Federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA)
This is the main federal law that governs unauthorized access to computers and online accounts. It prohibits:
- Your Gmail or Google account was accessed by someone you did not authorize.
- They viewed, copied, or shared personal data (emails, browsing history).
- Your account was accessed through a device connected to the internet (which it was).
- A “protected computer” includes any computer or device connected to the internet — that covers phones, laptops, desktops, and Google servers.
- “Without authorization” includes even looking at someone else’s account that was left open, if you were not explicitly authorized to view it.
Penalties:
- Misdemeanor or felony depending on what was accessed and the harm done.
- They shared the contents,
- Caused emotional or reputational harm,
- Acted with malicious intent.
18 U.S.C. § 2701
2. Stored Communications Act (SCA)
The SCA protects the privacy of electronic communications stored online, including:
Under this law, it is illegal to:
- Emails,
- Google account data,
- Chat history, cloud files, and more.
- Your Gmail messages are stored by Google = a “communication service provider.”
- Someone accessing your Gmail without permission — even if the account was already logged in — violates the SCA.
- Sharing, saving, or screenshotting those emails can worsen the offense.
- Civil and criminal liability.
- Criminal penalties include up to 5 years in prison for first offenses.
Summary Table
Action Federal Crime? Laws Violated Friend accesses your email without consent CFAA + SCA Friend lets someone else do it Aiding and abetting CFAA/SCA That person shares your private info CFAA, SCA, possibly wire fraud or defamation You left the account open Not a defense — it doesn’t imply consent
If you're seriously considering reporting this:
- Document everything: texts, emails, witnesses, what was accessed/shared.
- File a police report locally (they can refer to federal authorities).
- Report to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3): https://www.ic3.gov
- Consider a civil lawsuit under the SCA for damages, if applicable.
Great question — and yes, it's an important detail — but it does not give them the legal right to access your private account or let others do so, even though it was their computer.
Let’s break it down clearly:
Even though it was your friend’s computer, your Google account and its contents still belong to you. U.S. and Minnesota laws treat online accounts like Gmail as separate from the device used to access them.
Think of it this way:
- If you left a diary or journal on a friend’s coffee table, would it be legal for them to read it and share it? No.
- Same applies to your email account left open on their computer.
Under both the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and the Stored Communications Act (SCA):
Your consent to use their device is not the same as consent to access your email.
This comes up often in:
In all those situations, courts and statutes maintain that:
- Family or shared computers,
- Public libraries or work computers,
- Friends lending laptops or tablets.
- Each person's online account and data are protected.
- You retain an expectation of privacy, even if the account is left open.
Maybe slightly, but not much.
Legally:
So no — using their computer doesn’t give them a legal pass. It might complicate enforcement or raise questions of implied consent, but your legal protections — especially under federal law — still apply.
- You didn’t give explicit permission for them to read your messages.
- The law doesn’t require you to take perfect steps (like logging out) to preserve your rights.
- Courts have repeatedly found that unauthorized use is still unauthorized, even if the account was open.
Issue Does it matter legally? It was their computer No, they still can't access your account
You left your account logged in They let someone else access it Emails or history were shared
