Benedict Arnold gave the unreleased changes for Borealis Navigator to roytam1 a few weeks after I made the repository private. He is also the one who during the first incident also uploaded (and then "innocently" informed us) that a copy of binoc-central was uploaded to an unauthorized hosting service. This person is a racist, lying, thief of intellectual material and private source code.
While the repository was made private then taken down a few times by the Administrator who has since claimed to have left the open source community after this incident despite still existing themselves.. A number of e-mails transpired. During the incident he legit requested the source for Covered Software used for Interlink Mail & News of which I complied. Then he uploaded the entire repository including all history to the unauthorized service.

Thank you very much. I deleted the repo after the admin made it private. I did not know of the issues you were having with roytam1 and other XP users on msfn (some of whom I am good friends with). I am sorry for infringing on your copyright, and apologize that they (my fellow XP users) are also infringing on your copyright.
Take care.
This went back and forth with anonymous and the unauthorized service admin until it was no longer publicly accessible. At some point during or after, I am not totally sure, anonymous slipped the post-private repo commits to roytam1. https://github.com/roytam1/boc-uxp/compare/8892b642b0285b0be4520d13044d944b7f395372...4288a0887bcfbe4f82798155237fe57714921d05. After anonymous and roytam1 getting commit history from a private repository that only core Pale Moon and select BinOC users had access to I was able to narrow down the suspects to two people. Both relatively new arrivals.anonymous wrote:From: anonymous

Hahaha fuck you bitch I got all the commits nigger
BalooRJ and Benedict Arnold. BalooRJ was a law student but has some opinions and had access and was new enough to have suspect loyalties. Benedict Arnold I first encountered in an issue for JustOff's CAA where he was acting like a moron. He even admitted it. Well they say admitting it is the first step on the road to recovery. He a few months down the road joined the channel.. Interested in open source development and with rare exception said all the right things. Of course, THAT should have been a red flag then and there but I thought maybe after the previous encounter that this guy wanted to better him self. I could not prove out of who all had access on the Github repository did it. I could exclude long time associates like Moonchild, Ryan (lootyhoof), others. But between Baloo and Benedict Arnold I couldn't be sure.
Obviously, BalooRJ is now a forum moderator and a pretty cool guy. Before and after the incident Benedict Arnold remained suspiciously distant from joining in on MOST discussions and while indicating he wanted to help work on things he never did save one commit where he updated Borealis's default bookmark links. Eventually I let Benedict Arnold have access again while I excluded BalooRJ.. His interests didn't really go into tangible development anyway and if he was the one then it would never happen again and if it did then happen once again I would know who did it.
Jump a year later and while I was distracted from other matters. Specifically, serving notice of MPL violation number 2 to Fedor2. This has been going on for right around 2 weeks now but on the 30th of Aug here comes Benedict Arnold again with an innocent notification of roytam1 getting the past year's commit history WITH my authorship intact. Committed 7 days prior on the 24th https://github.com/roytam1/boc-uxp/compare/b91883d9919f6b163945467f01209dde2e11121b...ea85817c3aa005d27b9d04de5cee10a656911bd2. THE DAY (after midnight localtime) I SENT MY NOTIFICATION OF VIOLATION TO THE CENTAURY REPOSITORY.
We checked the logs. The only git client access to binoc-central on and around the 24th (aside from xref updating) was from the authenticated user Benedict Arnold. I was extremely pissed, as I occasionally get, and exterminated him from the IRC server. Then EMH-Mark-I, who had Benedict Arnold on xmpp gave me a link to Benedict Arnold's current domain name and website state years prior.
I confronted him via text message using the phone number on that incarnation of his personal website. I let him back in to the channel to explain him self. He passed it off as him doing a private build pulling from git. I let him remain for a day or two until:
Later...Sep 03 14:55:06 <Benedict Arnold> I have decided it's best for everyone including myself if I leave this community. I wish each and every one of you success in all areas of your life. I truly mean that. Goodbye.
Sep 03 14:56:19 * Benedict Arnold has quit (Quit: ZNC 1.8.2 - https://znc.in)
These events only re-enforce the evidence already collected and thus Benedict Arnold is and always was a traitor. This kind of insidious cloak and dagger horseshit is going to tear the fabric of open source apart. This kind of behavior by him, the XPeople, JustOff, the Reddit Shithole, the Sub-reddits of r/opensource and r/programming not to mention r/privacy will destroy ANYTHING that they can get their hands on either tangibly or corruption and subversion. It is a mother fucking disgrace to everything we are SUPPOSED to be standing for.Sep 04 23:03:08 <Pause> Ah, that explains it. Benedict Arnold is involved. https://github.com/ManchildProductions/ ... 517bf6c01c
MyPal Issue 3 (formerly 237) and the 4chan /g/ threads and the a fore mentioned reddit threads make a total mockery of Open Source, the Licenses, and the people who have for what.. 30-40 years have worked tirelessly to create and maintain.
This cancer must be exposed and dealt with.. Not by me alone, not by JUST this project, but anyone left with a brain that isn't swollen with hatred and lies. Anyone who isn't just out for them selves. Anyone who still believes that we can have a decent society of any kind.
This is my story and not only does it involve each and every one of you.. Each and every one of you could be next.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Matt A. Tobin
