Well guys, since things seem to be a bit dull at the moment, I thought I'd liven the place up a little. Here's my long awaited info dump. This isn't all of it -- some parts of it have been omitted so that they can be used against Len at the proper time, but I was sick of all this material languishing on my hard drive and with Len threadbanned, I thought I'd be okay posting it now, as long as I held back a few particularly sensitive pieces. Also, it seems that Len's FB account has been suspended for the moment, and his Take Down page is on its way out, leaving me with no means of communicating with him. Basically, I think this is the time and place to wrap up my involvement with him once and for all.
THE INFODUMP!
First of all, I want you to know that this is probably the biggest Len infodump anyone's done so far, and as such this is going to be one fucking HUGE post. The material here represents at least a month (or more) of fairly time consuming work. To create and collect all of this material has taken a huge chunk out of my day to day life since just before the thread re-opened, and everything I've had to do, including communicating with Len, prep work for the actual trolling (namely, giving up the main FB account I've used for 4 years to keep track of personal lolcows) and sorting through everything I collected to make sure it's suitable for release has taken an immense amount of effort.
Second of all, I'd like to tell you that the following material is totally unscripted and mostly Len milking himself without any intervention on my behalf. This all started as a simple thing that I didn't think would go anywhere - after the initial contact and hand-over of the Facebook account in question, everything has been Len pretty much left to his own devices, with me just watching and recording.
Third of all, I was asked to sit on this info by
@Zim's contacts amongst the railfan community, which is the main reason why it's taken so long for you all to get to see this. See, in the process of collecting this stuff, Len used said Facebook account to attempt to bully, of all people, the
cop who arrested him and several witnesses who were part of his trial. In
@Zim's words, by giving Len access to an "insider account" and screencapping what he did with it, I provided actual, verifiable proof of Len harassing people through deceptive means. As such, I was asked to hang on to this stuff in case it could be used in the trial to help put Len away. I've decided to omit these particular screencaps from this post.
Lastly, I want to thank
@Zim, who helped me prepare some of this stuff for release and also had a hand in creating some of it. I know it wasn't easy sitting on this stuff, and it must have been much worse for
@Zim, who's basically been working behind the scenes.
With all of that out of the way, allow me to present, for your entertainment...
Len Shaner: The Superspy
Introduction
Len Shaner. The lolcow of 1000 faces and sockpuppets. We've seen him attempt to bully the Farms as The_Knight_Rider. We've seen how easy it is to gain his trust and manipulate his emotions. We've seen him go berserk when
@Kirby pretended to be him during the Soom Lee Weed fiasco. But most of all, we've seen how his life is dominated by the Lenspiracy. Almost everything he does is driven by his need to validate his own crazy theories and he'll go to any lengths to expose the truth that he feels must surely be out there, like some kind of autistic Fox Mulder.
One thing Len does quite a lot is attempt to intimidate us with his so-called "insider info". 50% of the time, this info has originated from "Inform Ants" who are really just cool guys in disguise. The rest of the time, it's shit that he just made up to try and scare us into revealing something. But what would happen, do you think, if Len somehow
actually got his hands on real insider info for a change? What if he really did have a way to infiltrate the farms, through access to an account that (he believes) is at the very center of the Lenspiracy? What would he do?
Some of you might remember the name
Sara Haysika-Mordow. It's a fake Facebook account that I've used several times in the past to troll Len and which has betrayed his trust time and time again. Aside from
@Kirby or
@Zim, this account is probably the closest to Len's very own Clyde Cash. Len believes that this account is in the "inner circle" of the Kiwi Farms due to its past actions - in his mind it, and me by extension, are connected to every aspect of the Lenspiracy. The thing is, Sara had outlived her usefulness long before this thread closed and re-opened again. Finally having had enough, Len had blocked the account, and it didn't look like I'd get much more out of him.
So, despite saying I'd bowed out for now, an opportunity presented itself to get some really good stuff out of him, but I had to sacrifice the Facebook account I'd been using. Long story short, I told Len that one of
@Kirby's Bees "blackmailed" me into handing over all my passwords, including to this Farms account and then gave Len Sara's password so he could use it to "eavesdrop". He then immediately proceeded to change the password to lock me/Kirby out of the account, but forgot to remove the email address linked to it, so I was able to find out the new password anyway.
So I was able to log in to monitor what he's been doing, and he's been using it to try and "spy" on the people he believes are behind everything. He added a bunch of railroad people as friends and sent flirty messages to Curt (as if he doesn't already know it's a fake profile because he follows this thread and has seen my previous info dumps) and like 20 other RR guys pretending to be
@Kirby and trying to pump info out of them, prompting them to sarcastically give him fake info which he took completely seriously.
Len's Inside Source
So, if the Introduction above was too long for you, here's the deal: Len thinks
@Kirby, his arch-nemesis, has blackmailed me into giving her control of the account I've been using to troll Len. I give the account to Len and, thinking
@Kirby's been using it to discuss trolling plans with members of the Lenspiracy, he attempts to use it to squeeze info out of people.
In
@Zim's words:
Len thinks the Kiwis and Lenspirators know who this is and will "spill the beans" because this is a trusted fellow troll. He's wants to believe all the train guys are on the forum so badly and that he has a secret inner circle account that he'll never let this thing go. It's a once in a lifetime chance, right? lol
At this stage, with Len in control of the account and with things carefully set up so that I could still log in and monitor his actions without his knowledge, I decided to just leave Len to his own devices. What resulted was an absolute shitload of Facebook conversations to sort through.
To be continued in my next post (since there's still a shitload of images to post).
