    And he was a mod for a very disgusting sub back when it was active.

      Although I dislike him as much as anyone, I read that in the early days you could add users as mods without the need for users to accept.

        Jailbait. There’s a bit more to the story though…mod invites were auto-approved at the time. But he seemingly embraced it, even if he didn’t directly acknowledge it.

            Thanks, I had forgotten the details.

            Kind of wonder if this adds any merit to the /u/maxwellhill conspiracy.

                That that user was secretly Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein friend and co-conspirator. She got arrested the same day powermod /u/maxwellhill’s account went dark.

                Mind you, this was /r/conspiracy territory, the same folks who paraded around Pizzagate, so take with a heaping scoop of salt.
