The r/conspiracy thread where things unfolded: https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/53fw9x/bleachbi...

One of several archived copies of the r/exchangeserver thread, "Remove or replace to/from address on archived emails?" (the user stonetear deleted his account during the r/conspiracy thread): http://archive.is/FXcao

Of course they are. The House Kangaroo Court caucus is so out of ideas they're indulging the Alex Jones set. At some point the US government needs to look into recouping the costs of all this frivolous investigation from the Republican party or the congressmen themselves.

What amazes me besides him using familiar handle is that even after the investigation he left all those reddit posts up. Then he decides to try and delete them now after they are found.

fun fact, your cell phone provider doesn't scan your text messages for "keywords" until you try to delete them... maybe he thought reddit worked the same way.

Deleting them now is just stupid panic. They've been found, they've been archived, they've been reported. The only thing deleting them does is make him look guilty as hell even if he's done nothing wrong at all.

What amazes me is that a reddit user found it but somehow all of the FBI investigators didn't.

Regardless of your politics or beliefs of what happened, I think a simple bit of advice is truth:

If you are going to run an e-mail server in difficult circumstances then hire a System Administrator who does not need to post obviously problematic questions to Reddit.

I'm guessing that a person who asks this kind of "help-me-cover-something-up" question while mentioning that his client is "VERY VIP" is also completely oblivious of how findable things are on today's Internet. I'm guessing the Internet detective work might have come from something very serendipitous and casual: Someone interested in the email server scandal doing a search for "Paul Cambetta", which is a fairly rare name, and landing upon his Etsy page with the also unusual handle of "stonetear", and then googling that and finding his Reddit account.
