Hopefully this clears up the FBI inquiry over BTC and GitHub! At least there is a much clearer picture now. @theariard I hope this helps clear some stuff up for you!
Yeah it’s good to have more press information. Luke is a Florida resident, and we end up with some Georgia, Atlanta conference attendees doxxed. It’s just not cool.

I've read the article and others a few times because I am trying to put together a clear picture. Was it the FBI reaching out to these people that is being characterized as a doxx or was their info made public? The reason why I ask is I am a little confused about why if the FBI was investigating something it would be called a doxx when it is their job? Now if the info got leaked to the public or something entirely different thing I am just confused about that aspect of it if you happen to know the answer!

From my understanding, there have been a leak of Atlanta attendees private information without their awareness, and some part of this information is included now as part of the FBI investigation and some part has been made in the public. Saying that, I agree it’s still very confusing what did effectively happen.
I reached out to folks like Luke who has been for sure in touch with the FBI agent / unit to get more information. When I got an answer, I’ll certainly communicate what is my understanding. Some articles sounds to misquote.
