It is amazing how Casey is only 19 years old but he's been in so many controversies. There's so much free milk.

maybe it was part of his opsec? it's harder to dox someone if they're not harassing people locally?

Just to clarify, I have some skepticism about the dox provided by Armadildo, although a good portion of it does seem to align. Armadildo still managed to find out more information in a couple of days than I was able to get in months, so it's still way better than I was doing on my own.
What we can unequivocally confirm is that the kenchen Gmail account was linked to Lumin's email account as a recovery option. Furthermore, Lumin promptly disconnected the Gmail account as a recovery email immediately after someone attempted to send a recovery code for it. This clearly indicates that it is indeed Lumin's email address, (or at the very least, he has access to that email account).
I also mentioned this to Armadildo privately, but one aspect that still perplexes me is the claim about California residency. To the best of my knowledge, Lumin has always stated that he lived in New Jersey his entire life, and I assumed that they reside close to New York City, given their posts about attending events there and utilizing New York transit for some of them. Of course, there's the possibility that Lumin could just be lying about Jersey, but I find it hard to believe that a teenager would regularly travel cross-country from California to New York for furmeets and furry conventions.
I'm not ruling out the possibility entirely, but some of this does seem to contradict much of the information I've gathered thus far.

Could the CA address be his legal residence, but he's got another furfag in NYC he shacks up with maybe? Or something like one of those long term stay rental apartments that travel nurses usually use?
I can picture a few reasons why someone of Lumin's orientation would be hesitant to give up CA residency. It wouldn't be impossible to have his "primary" residence listed at his parents in CA while actually living in NYC.

If his parents are divorced, maybe his father moved to California while he stayed with his mother in NYC? If she's the one who enables him it would explain why his behaviour is escalating. He probably uses his dad's details because his dad is financing all this. I bet he uses his dad's credit card to pay for furry and YouTube stuff.

Lumin is young enough that I highly doubt the address listed would be his own. It's also possible that the address is simply not correct at all.

I'd like to start by reiterating that I have no personal grievances against Armadildo. They provided me with valuable information, including verifying the accessibility of the Kenchen Gmail account and giving me a list of public Telegram chats that Lumin participated in, which expanded my investigative leads. However, before the dox were posted, I did express some uncertainty regarding the accuracy of the California dox. While it's a possibility, it contradicts most of my research.
For this scenario to hold true and confirm that Lumin is indeed Casey from California, all of the following conditions would need to be true:
- Lumin frequently travels from California to New York and New Jersey throughout the year, solely for small furry meets and conventions on the East Coast.
- Lumin has consistently undertaken these trips independently without his parents' knowledge, even when he was underage, dating back to at least 2021.
- Despite not residing in the Northeastern US, Lumin actively engages exclusively in chats and communities from that region.
- Lumin demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of NYC transit systems, despite not regularly spending time in the area.
- He specifically requested transportation from a friend to Anthro New England from New Jersey, despite the possibility of flying directly from California to Boston.
Could Lumin be Casey? It's definitely within the realm of possibility. We've seen stranger things confirmed in other threads on the Farms, and it's plausible that I might be overthinking this situation. However, at the moment, I'm inclined to maintain a level of skepticism regarding this identification.
Looking at Lumin's WikiFur page (which he wrote himself), it states that he has only attended six conventions: Anthro New England in Massachusetts, Anthrocon in Pennsylvania, Fur the 'More in Virginia, Furcationland in Maine, Furpocalypse in Connecticut, and Furrydelphia in Pennsylvania. These events are all located in the Northeastern United States. It strikes me as rather odd that Lumin, if residing in California, would not even make an attempt to attend a single furry event in his own state.

I've seen him talk in telegram chats about how he lives in NJ. I can see if I can find these instances later on but I question the legitimacy of him residing in CA.
He also registered for a convention as Ken, and they need to check IDs before you can get your badge at cons, so I don't know why he would put in Ken if that's not his legal name. He wouldn't be able to get in if his ID said something else I imagine.

He apparently goes to Rutgers in NJ according to someone in the local area furry chat rooms. If his permanent address is actually California, this would make sense to me. When I went to college, my permanent address at the time was my dad's house, and not the college's address.

There are three different Rutgers campuses. New Brunswick (the main one), Camden, and Newark. The New Brunswick one, additionally, has many satellite campuses outside of New Brunswick.
If one was from the other side of the country and not a local., I would suspect New Brunswick main campus is the most likely place of residence though there is no guarantee of that.
Not sure if this information will be of use, but in case it is.

The only time I ever met Lumin was at a furry meet in New Brunswick. I barely spoke to him, had no clue who he was, or about the situation with Tripp until like a month later. He didn't strike me as particularly strange, but mind you I barely spoke to him. I'm not sure which Rutgers he goes to. I honestly didn't even know there was more than one.

The following is a list of every public Telegram chat Lumin has participated in at some point. I've gone through a few of these myself (and will post my findings later when I have a little more free time to organize them), but there are far too many posts and chats to comb through. So, I'm going to post the list here if any bored Kiwis would like to look through a few of them on their own.
If you plan to dig through some of these chats yourself, here are a few tips:
-All the chats in this list are public, meaning that anyone can click the chat's link and see the posts within without actually being a member of the chat.
-As long as you don't click/tap the "join chat" button on the bottom of the screen, nobody will have any knowledge you were even looking at the chat. However, most chats will auto-post a message when a new user joins, so if you are paranoid about exposing yourself by accident, I would recommend not using your personal Telegram account just in case.
-Search for the user "lumincity" in a chat's history and you should be able to jump directly to posts Lumin made.
-Just because a chat is on the list doesn't mean he is still active in there right this second; it just means that he made at least one post that is still in the chat (as of this writing).
-Friendly reminder:

I don’t remember if this chat is public or not, but he’s also on the Furtrack Campfire telegram chat as well. I could only find this link to the group https://t.me/joinchat/fc4kvYLhcAE1YzNh

that one does not appear to be public, as it requires manual approval from a mod to enter and see anything in it.
Most of the ones I linked are fully public, however. You shouldn't need any approval or even join the chat in order to see any of the posts in them.

I'm an admin for Empire State Furries and we're pretty sure Lumin was never a member. If he was, it must've been years ago before I joined. When I asked the other admin if he was even allowed in our chat... "oh hell no".

I never implied he was ever active in all of these chats. The list only shows publicly viewable chats where there was at least one post made by his account. While he's active in some of these, there are also some where he just joined, the chat auto-posted "Lumin just joined this chat", and then he left at some point without saying anything further.
My best guess is that's why the Empire chat appears in the list, since a quick glance shows that the linked chat appears to be a "waiting room".

I'm aware of that, I'm just surprised he even shows up at all, because as far as we know, he never even tried to join. The way I have the lobby set up (and it is pretty new, we only set up the lobby recently), the admins all get notified when someone joins, and it'll put a message of "user joined the group" or "user left the group" in the chat. Lumin didn't ever attempt to join.
A few of the other ones in there surprised me, but I guess he has a thing for joining random chats that wouldn't really make sense for him to join.

Well, kiwis, it's been a few months since Lumin disappeared from the internet... or so I thought.
As it turns out, this whole time he was supposedly off the internet, he's been super active in the Furpocalypse Telegram chat racking up an ungodly amount of posts. I only found this out because the Furpoc chat is fully public, meaning I can freely read everything that is posted on it without having to join it (make sure you don't click the "join chat" text at the bottom of the chat screen).
As of this writing, Lumin has racked up over 13 THOUSAND posts in this chat. A glance at his chat history shows that a lot of his posting seems to be low-effort reaction stickers, but he is incredibly active here, and I have enough internet autism to take the time to try to read some of this (expect me to make a follow-up post here in the next day or so). I have made an entire export of the chat already just in case any chat mods try to DFE this.
The fact that Lumin is active here is notable for two reasons. First, there were unconfirmed rumors that after being banned from several furry events, Lumin had left the internet to seek help or therapy. This discovery, however, suggests otherwise. Secondly, Furpocalypse is the convention where there have been the most complaints about Lumin's behavior over the past two years. Given that the convention staff is fully aware of Lumin being in there and they are allowing him to participate in their chat without taking action, it raises concerns about negligence and/or nepotism on their part.
While I haven't finished reviewing the entire chat export (as it is quite long, the Telegram export was split into 250 separate pages), there are reportedly several instances where other furries expressed concerns about Lumin. In response, chat admins allegedly sided with Lumin and removed the posts of those raising complaints. Hopefully, I'll be able to find some remnants about that soon.
The following spoiler contains highlights from the first 40 pages that stood out to me. Most of this dates from when he joined the chat in March 2021 up until early 2022, when he was banned from Barq for lying about his age.
I am going to come back to this chat export in a day or two because it's mentally exhausting trying to read all this shit, but if any Kiwis want to beat me to the punch, I will include my telegram export of the chat to this post. Bear in mind that my export does not include any pictures or videos posted in the chat to stay within KF's upload filesize limits.
While I certainly don't want to encourage any trolling or gay-ops, I think the furries lurking on this thread should be aware that Furpocalypse is actively platforming Lumin despite the constant complaints about him.

This first conversation happened shortly after Lumin joined. Notably, Lumin alternates between claiming his parents were okay with him attending while also stating he lied to his parents about the nature of the event.
At this point, it's also worth bringing up Mike Wolf, a FurPoc staff member who is seen frequently interacting with Lumin in these chats. Given how often the two of them seem to be interacting, I have a hunch that Mike is most likely a big reason (if not the sole reason) why Lumin hasn't been outright banned from this event already. Here's his profile as it currently appears on Telegram:
Anyways, back to Lumin. At this point, his sole life goal seems to be to get a job and use the money to buy a fursuit. He also states he has zero work experience and that he is too "valuable" to do something as degrading as working minimum wage.
Lumin isn't big on consent.
Since this was still a time when Covid was still a big issue, we get some obligatory Covid sperging and Lumin claiming that the dark web will steal your vaccination card or something.
I don't give in to corporations doing pride month, which is exactly why I paid money for a pride flag off Etsy.
Lumin is a fan of the game Changed
Lumin literally refuses to touch grass and demonstrates his knowledge of web browsers
Lumin got banned from Barq for repeatedly changing his age between 17 and 18.
