Matthew Soltys / Nitro Rooski / Capital City Fur Con / Spark the Dalmatian / Fenris the Wolf / Cyder the Donkey / DJMSOL Entertainment - Embezzled thousands from charity to fund a short-lived flop of a furry convention. Got evicted for grooming teenagers in his home. Currently impersonating a far more likable furry.

200th post in this thread!

I'm expecting a homeless saga as Matt seems like the exact type of person who has a very terrible relationship with their parents

For those not familiar with Pennsylvania law, a landlord has to file an "Order for Possession" in order to give a sheriff the right to evict a tenant from leased property. I guess Matthew's covid rent protections finally ran out, and we've got a "homeless" and/or "living with mom" saga impending.

PA is also a "landlord's lien" state, meaning that it's one of the few states where a landlord's claim for rent may have priority over the lien of the Collateral Agent in any of the Collateral. I wonder if the landlord knows how much Nitro's new suit can sell for, that would be a hell of a saga.
 
While we're waiting for news regarding Matthew's inevitable eviction and/or fursuit being sold off, I did stumble across some information I was previously unaware of.

In late August 2021, Matthew posted to a Google Groups page asking for technical help with a media server, which someone politely responded to:
1636292704807.png

What makes this exchange notable is the email Matthew used, "thepupnitro2@gmail.com". A quick google of thepupnitro comes up with a few hits, and while most of them aren't related to Matthew, there is definitive evidence Matthew used this username on Twitter. There are several 2018-era tweets mentioning a now-removed "thepupnitro" account. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be any known archives of his profiles as of now.

Before going any further, it's important to note here that viewing tweets directly on Twitter often hides mentioned usernames when a mentioned account is deleted, but if you use a third-party service like TweetDeck, these usernames are still fully visible. Like so:
1636293189326.png
1636293238296.png



I consider this THE most definitive proof that Matthew was a known scammer years before CCFC, as this conversation he had with someone who had an auction on The Dealer's Den (the site where he'd later try to scam the donkey fursuit) lines up exactly with how he handled his later failed fursuit acquisitions; stringing people along, ignoring messages, and trying to make a business transaction a big public thing.
1636293796771.png

Here's a tweet where someone screen-capped Matthew being rude to them. While I can't say for sure how much merit this accusation had (because the few tweets from this furry's account are pretty exceptional), it does show that thepupnitro was definitively Matthew, as the account uses the same grey dog with neon highlights Matthew would regularly use online (prior to the CCFC DFE, at least).
1636294103634.png

If nothing else, these tweets are great evidence that Matthew had a history of questionable behavior years before CCFC (and catching the attention of the Farms) so any arguments Matthew might make along the lines of "KF ruined my reputation" are pretty null and void by this discovery. I feel like it was only a matter of time before some of his actions would inevitably blow up in his face, which happened in a spectacular fashion thanks to CCFC and his failed stunts afterward.

EDIT: Immediately after posting this, I found out there's a Dealer's Den account under the same name. It has a single negative rating for a fursuit auction where the seller states he did not pay, with the date being four days after the previously mentioned Twitter conversation. That now brings us up to three failed fursuit acquisitions.

This brings up the question: if he already had a bit of a reputation as an asshole and a scammer, how did he get so many people to go along with CCFC? In a situation like that, it's usually a matter of enough reputable people vouching for the perp in question. So, who did Nitro con in order to give perceived legitimacy to his con (see what I did there)?

In a situation like that, it's usually a matter of enough reputable people vouching for the perp in question. So, who did Nitro con in order to give perceived legitimacy to his con (see what I did there)?
To put it simply: for every furry who already knows he's a piece of shit, there are at least twenty other furries who have never heard of him. This is exactly how some of his previous relationships worked out; the second he sees a new furry who just got a fursuit that catches his interest, he will immediately latch onto them (before they get a chance to meet any other furries), love-bomb them, and gaslight them into believing that all the other people calling Matthew a scammer are wrong. To Matthew, there's no incentive to try and repair relationships that are already declining, it's far easier to just find new people and start with a clean slate.

Now on the subject of CCFC, imagine for a second that you're building a new house. You hire a professional construction company, but shortly after they get the basic wooden framework built, you run out of money. When you can't pay them for any more work, they leave and you decide to bring in some friends to finish building for you. All your friends think you're so cool for letting them work on your project, but none of them have any idea what they're doing, and the final house is a shoddy product that falls apart three days after it's built. You then decide it's all your friend's fault for making such a shoddy product and try to pass the blame of it solely on them.

That's exactly what happened with CCFC. When he first secured a contract with a hotel, he still had a few people on staff that he was on good terms with, several of whom even had actual convention experience. Fast-forward to a few months later, and most of those staff who helped put in a basic framework for the event have quit. At that point, Matthew's only choice was to bring in completely inexperienced people who knew nothing about him (or how poorly he was running things) to fill in the gaps. When the event ultimately didn't go the way he wanted, he tries to blame CCFC's failure entirely on them, ignoring that he himself had hired completely inexperienced people.

Wow, I only just finished the OP and I'm impressed by his dumbassery. This well named Matthew never runs dry, does it? @Pinball 2000 you did a fantastic job on the thread, thank you. Matthew may become my next cow of interest seeing as he's so... Exceptional. Every bad choice he makes goes straight into social media, either via him or his "friends". Brilliant idea, really. I think I'm going to lurk in this thread more, time to go read the highlights.
 
I've got three small updates for today. First, I was informed that a somewhat popular YouTuber was working on a video about CCFC. While I don't want to say who, what I can say is that this will absolutely kick up a new wave of interest in the drama.
1637796910876.png


Second, I decided to take a glance at Pennsylvania's court dockets to see if there were any new updates on Matthew. While the eviction/order for possession does not appear to have any new information, he did manage to get in trouble with the law again, albeit just for speeding: UPDATE: the docket was updated to state he was fined $164.00. He was only about 5-10mph over the speed limit, so under Pennsylvania law, he's unlikely to receive anything more severe than this fine.
1637796757881.png

Finally, I've got a bonus partial halal. I've been sitting on this one for a while because I wanted to get a more thorough dox before posting it, but it's been a couple of months at this point (and some of the information disappeared due to KF's PM system auto-deleting posts after a certain period of inactivity), so I'll just post what I still have. For those of you who have kept up with the thread on Gabriel Sickel / KhordKitty, you may remember during the summer, a user by the name of I Hate Trolls showed up in the thread, made a bunch of stupid statements, defended Gabe, admitted he was talking with Gabe, and ultimately derailed the thread to the point that several people thought I hate Trolls was either Gabe himself or a friend/roommate of Gabe. Ultimately, I Hate Trolls was not Gabe; Null was even briefly called in to check IPs and confirm this.

I thought that would be the end of it, but a few weeks later, I Hate Trolls contacted me personally via a KF PM, bragging about how he had contacted Matthew's former friend Kenaii and basically grilled Kenaii on something he tweeted that had nothing to do with Matthew. It's also very important to note here that as of this writing, Kenaii has made good on his promise to stay away from Matthew and this drama, which is why I've stopped focusing on him.

Apparently, Kenaii boosted some fundraising event for another furry and I Hate Trolls decided this means that Kenaii wanted to make the situation about himself, then allegedly tried to pressure Kenaii into dropping their support of the fundraising. He also sent me this screenshot of a reply he allegedly got from Kenaii about it:
1637797659849.png


I was originally just going to reply "don't do gay-ops like this you fucking moron" and leave it at that, but then I remembered this was the same guy who shit up Khord's thread and was already warned not to do this shit, so I decided it was worth looking into him further. I reached out to someone who had been in contact with Kenaii and asked if they could help identify I Hate Trolls' account:
1637798695856.png
1637798519692.png
1637798591679.png


Oh, look at that, we've got a fairly uncommon username. Let's see what comes up:
1637798578638.png


We've got an FA and an XVideos profile. XVideos didn't seem to load correctly, but fortunately, we at least have a partial reconstruction of it thanks to Google Cache (archive):
1637798820456.png


And finally, we come to I Hate Trolls FA page (archive). Unfortunately, FA pages with porn don't properly archive, so you'll have to settle for these screenshots I took while logged in:
1637799125617.png
1637799116384.png


So what did we learn from all this?
-I Hate Trolls is an attention-seeking moron who draws shitty MSPaint furry porn under the name "Aegisstringoe".
-Nobody would have ever given a shit about this guy if he hadn't been contacting lolcows and their friends in the first place.
-Don't use your personal accounts to contact people if you're worried it's going to blow up in your face.
-If you contact cows and get caught, we will laugh at you, dig up your personal information, and most likely create a thread about how much of a dumb fuck you are. Good luck anyway.

Happy belated New Year, Kiwis! Guess who's doing stupid shit again? I thought we were at the point where Matthew would have learned to not draw more attention to himself, but here we are. Before I begin, I wanted to give a small update on that surprise Ryan Hill crossover. To put it simply, there's currently no evidence that Matthew took up Ryan's offers to accept a free fursuit, let alone engaged with him, so that arc ultimately ended with a big nothing burger. Anyways, moving on.


For those who aren't up to date on their furry events, this last weekend was New Years Furry Ball, an event held in Newark, Delaware during the holiday, and from what I've been told, it managed to go fairly well without much drama attached to it. But I'm not here to talk about NYFB, I'm here to talk about Matthew. Now before we get much further into this, it's important to note that Matthew was preemptively banned from this event, so he obviously wasn't going to risk showing up. Instead, what he decided to do was camp out on Howlr and creep on random furries who attended the event. When someone eventually recognized his suit, Matthew responded by DFE-ing from Howlr.
1641425877934.png


For the normies who don't know what Howlr is, the best way I'd describe it is "Furry Grindr". It's an app that allows you to view, "like" and chat with people nearby with your location being listed. From what I've been told via various furries, there's a bit of an unspoken rule that when you attend an event or convention, you temporarily change your location in the app to the hotel nearby so you can quickly see who else is there in case you want to hang out and/or yiff them. Matthew lives about 60 miles away from the hotel where NYFB was hosted, which he decided to use to his advantage by spamming likes and chat requests at the numerous furries that suddenly popped up in-app, hoping some of them would take the bait.


1641425310500.png

This is a screenshot of Matthew's Howlr account (before he wiped it shortly after NYFB). This is extremely barebones by Howlr standards, as there's no bio, no photos, and only the absolute bare minimum information needed to make an account. You'll notice he's still going by the "Spark" moniker, presumably hoping to lure in horny furries who don't know that Spark and Nitro are the same people.

From what I've been informed on, there are two things worth pointing out on his profile that set off red flags. The first is that the ratio of Matthew's "liking" accounts compared to the number of people who liked him back is extremely low. He also made the first character of his username a 🎄 emoji, which is notable because Howlr has a well-known glitch where it hides you from search results if the name begins with any emoji. When combined with the fact that he wrote his name out in bubble letters (which also makes it harder to search for him), I'm very sure he did this intentionally so he'd be harder to find.

There are 22 furries who liked him back. While we don't know for sure actually talked with him beyond that, I am personally aware of at least four as of this writing (and this isn't taking into account the fact that Howlr lets you optionally post your Telegram on your profile to bypass Howlr's chat entirely). One of the furries Matthew messaged was willing to forward me part of their Telegram conversation, which I was able to use to check his account's user ID and compare it to the one he used in some earlier Telegram shenanigans:
1641427819941.png
1641427064574.png
1641427834655.png


Matthew is constantly changing his telegram usernames to make himself harder to track, but every username uses some variation of the words Dumb, Spark, Spot, or Dog. Variations I've personally seen are "dumbspot" "sparkdog1", "thespotdog", "dumbdogspark", "sparkspot" and "dumbspotdog". He's alternated between two separate telegram accounts as well, and the IDs in each account are "1834566768" and "1558565625". If you think he's present in a group you're in, you can check the ID of the account by forwarding any of his posts to the userinfobot on Telegram.

EDIT: I was informed that Matthew is also active on the recently created Barq app, which for all intents and purposes is a Howlr clone. There's no proper way to archive his account, so here's a screenshot of the profile I was sent:
1641750602960.jpeg



PSA/reminder to any furries lurking in this thread: If Matthew tries to contact you or your friends, DO NOT INTERACT. Simply block him, report him (if he's in a group you're in), and move on. Matthew exclusively preys on fursuiters who are unaware of his history in order to spread a fake narrative of events. Trying to engage with him despite knowing this will not end well for you. If you're not sure it's him, forward his posts to the userinfo bot I mentioned to see if the IDs match up.


Anyways, I'm not really sure how to end this, so lemmie just finish this update off by adding Patch's and SoulDoggo's responses to Matthew continuing to be a massive piece of shit:

UPDATE 1/12: Matthew re-enabled the Howlr account and is back to on creeping on fursuiters who don't know any better. He also updated the profile to list a bunch of his fetishes. Here's a screenshot of them because fuck you:

Just when I thought Matthew had finally fucked off, I come into some new information that is extremely concerning. Now before I go much further, I'm going to preface this update by stating that for the time being, I'm intentionally omitting some personally-identifying information. While I do have most of that information on hand, I'm concerned that making some of this public will risk making the situation worse and encourage gay-ops. A lot of this is going to be "trust me, bro".

A few days ago, LagoVirt (a Youtuber who made some videos about this situation) reached out to me, sharing a concerning DM he had received from someone who claimed to be a relative of Matthew's current romantic interest. According to them, Matthew had somehow convinced another furry to not only let him move in with him but also let Matthew's sister and her boyfriend move in as well. Matthew also allegedly convinced this furry to hand over a substantial amount of money in order to help pay down some of his debt.

I've slightly redacted parts of this, but here are the DMs LagoVirt sent me:
1642368069512.png
1642368510953.png
1642368405618.png



At the moment, I don't have 100% confirmation on this. However:
-Lagovirt has no motivation to lie about this, let alone go out of his way to share this with me.
-While it's cropped out of these screenshots, I looked up the Twitter account of the person who contacted Lago. I can confirm it's a real person with a web presence.
-I was given enough information in order to find this furry's Facebook account, and from what was publicly visible on the account, Matthew's sister and mother can be observed interacting with them. They both seem to be aware of what is going on and have no issues with Matthew mooching off someone.
-In late December, Matthew made a public Facebook post looking to rehome a pet, with the reason being that he was moving soon.

1642373578900.png

A few other things I can confirm based on some other information I was given:
-Matthew actually was evicted at the end of 2021. As of now, he is currently living in the townhouse that is paid for by this new "romantic interest" and appears to be in a different development.
-Matthew kicked out Max Nightember as a roommate somewhere between September and December 2021. It was apparently not on good terms, and Matthew supposedly did it with little to no warning to Max, leaving Max to scramble to find a new living arrangement. Max allegedly cut contact after being fucked over and is trying to distance himself from the situation.
-Immediately after kicking Max out, Matthew brought in the "reindeer" that he claimed he was dating via some of his social media bios. When Matthew realized he was actually getting evicted, he dumped/kicked out said reindeer on the spot and convinced his current relationship to take him in.
-Despite the extreme generosity Matthew has received from his current relationship, he has been very unfaithful and has continued to creep on random furries on Howlr.
-Matthew is known to be extremely active on Facebook. However, he's locked down his account to friends-only in order to limit who can see what he posts.


Finally, while I was working on this summary, Lago reached out a second time. The relative claimed they just showed this furry the kiwifarms thread and LagoVirt's videos about Matthew:

how do i rate a post both horrifying and informative?

I do wonder, considering that he's locking down hard publicly, how is his Telegram presence? Is he still going into chats pulling a @KhordKitty and trying to clear his name of "the KF menace"?

Matthew seems to be pretty active on Telegram, but I'm not aware of any groups or chats he's active in. While there are numerous "main" Pennsylvania furry chats as well as various "official" chats for conventions and furmeets, he's been banned from most of them already.

I think Matthew tries his best to keep himself confined to personal chats since it's one of the few places he can control the narrative. Any time he tries to make a public presence, he gets immediately blown the fuck out by furries who point out he's Nitro. He's a little smarter than Khord if only for the fact that he usually doesn't intentionally bring attention to himself, it instead leaks out via people who have encountered him.

Nitro is smarter on the fact that he knows his name is worse than absolute horse shit, Where Matthew fails however, is that he has an incredibly easy to detect pattern of speech even in text form, and the mask falls off inevitably as a result. Matthew's bios are also likely very similar to each other, akin to how his exes bio's on Twitter were almost the exact same writing wise.

1642946698064.png



Ultimately, Barq banned Matthew's account, as it no longer appears in search results. Matthew's Howlr also disappeared at about the same time, but I have no confirmation if that was due to being banned or not (especially as he has a history of randomly deleting/remaking his Howlr).

While I'm at it, I did notice an interesting little detail about Matthew's "Spark" suit that didn't catch my attention until recently. As most readers are probably familiar with by now, Matthew commissioned DontHugCacti for that suit. Most people are already familiar with the drama regarding DHC's extremely unprofessional behavior, so I'm not going to reiterate that. What's worth noting however is that DHC has an active Flickr gallery (no archive, Flickr doesn't work on archives for some reason) that has photos of every single suit they've made. They're all taken on the same grey background, and they all have a DHC watermark on them.

If you go on the second page of their Flickr gallery, you can see several photos of the Spark suit, but it strangely lacks the watermark on every single one of them. I skimmed their entire gallery and every single other suit photograph has that watermark. They're clearly taken in the same place as the other photos.
1642951748663.png


Just in case DHC removed them by the time anyone reads this, here are the photos for posterity:
51290793307_ae893f15dc_o.jpg
51290793297_1fd8f20ebd_o.jpg
51292543675_ccc92bc7e0_o.jpg
51254139380_3de83bba47_o.jpg

I think it's pretty obvious why DHC did this: they knew Matthew was incredibly notorious and would probably cause even more damage to their reputation, but they still wanted his money as a customer. So they took the money, made the suit anyway, then tried to distance themselves from it, as none of these photos are on their Facebook or Instagram page.

Ultimately, Barq banned Matthew's account, as it no longer appears in search results. Matthew's Howlr also disappeared at about the same time, but I have no confirmation if that was due to being banned or not (especially as he has a history of randomly deleting/remaking his Howlr).

While I'm at it, I did notice an interesting little detail about Matthew's "Spark" suit that didn't catch my attention until recently. As most readers are probably familiar with by now, Matthew commissioned DontHugCacti for that suit. Most people are already familiar with the drama regarding DHC's extremely unprofessional behavior, so I'm not going to reiterate that. What's worth noting however is that DHC has an active Flickr gallery (no archive, Flickr doesn't work on archives for some reason) that has photos of every single suit they've made. They're all taken on the same grey background, and they all have a DHC watermark on them.

If you go on the second page of their Flickr gallery, you can see several photos of the Spark suit, but it strangely lacks the watermark on every single one of them. I skimmed their entire gallery and every single other suit photograph has that watermark. They're clearly taken in the same place as the other photos.

Just in case DHC removed them by the time anyone reads this, here are the photos for posterity:

I think it's pretty obvious why DHC did this: they knew Matthew was incredibly notorious and would probably cause even more damage to their reputation, but they still wanted his money as a customer. So they took the money, made the suit anyway, then tried to distance themselves from it, as none of these photos are on their Facebook or Instagram page.
That’s… pretty stupid. Their style is very distinct, leaving their watermark off wouldnt have made a difference. Hell, I saw an older partial from them last week and I didn’t even need to ask the owner who their maker was.

...Is it not more telling that DHC will take money from a known scammer but try to memory hole the fact that they have by hiding the suit exclusively to one website, especially one they link as their Main Gallery?

When you've been exposed to furries long enough it's not so much telling as it is furry standard operating procedure. All of the greed, and all of the stupidity too. They often get away with it because of a combination of furries being dumb and the ever present 'don't say anything that may disrupt the fandom until we can throw them under the bus to save our own ass in the future' credo that furries live by.

By the way it's been a while since there's been any word or update on the don't hug cacti and lucky coyote drama hasn't it? Seems they're doing a decent job of quashing it or people just haven't been paying attention or documenting it.

i dont know who to talk to, maybe op but i have been very recently affected by this person within the last month and would like to talk to someone about what kind of hell i have been going through, please.
I'm the OP of this thread and have been working on it for a while. If you've got something related to Matthew you'd like to discuss, you're more than welcome to either post it in this thread, or if you'd rather not put this on public display, feel free to reach out privately through KF's personal message system.

oidfug has confirmed their identity with me privately and sent me some extremely damaging information. However, I have been asked not to post it publicly (yet) because there is currently no way I can share it without outing them, and I would prefer not to betray their trust. I've been working through some of it in a group DM with a few people active in this thread, so if anyone else wants in on that discussion, feel free to DM me.


What I can say, however, is this:
  • If the information is accurate, Matthew could potentially be in even further legal trouble
  • Mathew allegedly stole merchandise from several vendors back during CCFC. It is highly possible he may be giving it away to random furries as easy gifts.
  • Some (but not all) of the #TeamNitro members who claimed they walked away from this drama are lying, and are still in regular contact with Matthew as recently as of today. I am extremely disappointed to learn this, as I had previously given some of them the benefit of the doubt. I'm currently re-working the OP and will re-add them as needed.
  • Matthew has a new Telegram sockpuppet, "fenristhewolf". He currently does not appear to be in any of the more established Pennsylvania convention/furmeet chats, but I can say with 100% certainty this is Matthew.

  • The icon used on the Fenris profile is stolen; he took it from this furaffinity post (archive)
  • Matthew and his friends are fat and I would not have sex with any of them
