Why what does putting Ivan's name in the article actually do for the article?
Intimidation. Same reason why Taylor Lorenz doxed Libs of Ticktok and repeatedly showed up at her house and her family member's houses.
lol he's absolutely fucked
Apparently he is a loicensed manufacturer so he is most likely following the laws. He's definitely on the radar of the Illinois State Police now and I'm sure he'll get a knock or two trying to intimidate him.
In the United States, 3D-printed guns are regulated by a hodgepodge of state laws. Illinois has restricted the sale and possession of homemade gun components, except by firearm dealers and manufacturers. Because he is a licensed manufacturer, there is no indication that Mr. Elik is violating that law. Illinois law requires manufacturers to add serial numbers to homemade gun components.

I expect reporters going to him and possibly his aunt. They're directly linking him to the FGC-9 and comparing him to the people using it, so they're likely going to follow through in dragging him through the mud.

So in other words, journalists are doxing this man who has by all accounts done nothing wrong in the eyes of the law, simply because he did something they don't like.

They can no longer pretend to be any better than us.

TJD.
 
Ivan the Troll has been doxed by the NYT with an article quality that you expect from the NYT.
Leave it to the NYT to run defense for the tyrannical state in opposition to the people's constitutional right for self-preservation, completely opposite the actual function of the press in a free society. Why do these retarded faggots have Freedom of the Press?
 
Note that this might be a partial selfdox - he's involved with a lolsuit against Cody Wilson and Defense Distributed. Ivan has had the kitty-claws out for DD for some time - there's a lot of resentment there that Wilson is still the face of 3D gun printing to many.

It sounds like the NYT got wind of this lolsuit and followed the public court records to work backwards to Ivan's IRL location and details.

It's very likely that Matthew Larosiere, in his crusade to take Cody Wilson to court, has put John Elik on the map after all these years. That's some serious collateral damage, good job Matt!
 
They're friends, that's the terrible part. I suppose that John's involvement was just to add nails into Cody's coffin but this was an unintended side effect because Matt is spearheading the lawsuit.
Knowing how generally incompetent Matt is, I would say the dox was unintentional.
Seeing as Ivan is in Illinois, isn't he fucked in a legal sense? Pretty sure all the guns he has printed should have been on his FOID, and I am pretty sure they have a mag ban too.
 
Re: Matt and lawsuits - Ivan was listed under his real name as a co-owner of the Gatalog Foundation. That's how the dox happened. Everytown sued The Gatalog and got the incorporation documents for The Gatalog and put its owners/officers - Matt Larosier and John Elik - in their complaint.

Someone noticed that and was able to find Elik's house listing or something and compared it to some photos he had posted on Twitter as Ivan. They also compared his aunt's property to the property in some of his YouTube videos of him shooting, and it was a match. That info came out simultaneously yesterday in the NYT article and also in this GNet article.

I think the theory that Cody Wilson looked into Ivan as retaliation for Larosier's lawsuit is probably true.
