Nice link to Voat researchers in this serious piece on Medium:

World's Largest Crowd-Sourced Criminal Investigation?

FBI Anonymous on 4chan

People had already began dialoguing online with “FBI Anon” on 4chan by this time. Among other things, the AMAs (Ask Me Anything) predicted a series of pedophile-related arrests taking place after the Presidential Inauguration on January 20, 2017. They described a wave of arrests, first dealing with low level arrests, moving on to mid-level arrests and ending in highest-level arrests. It would be impossible to prove that this was a dialogue with a real “FBI insider”. True or not, this seemed to fuel a new wave of investigation, as researchers turned to older Wikileaks, cross referencing old materials with new leads and publishing even more information online.

Also....nice post about this nugget inside:

Q: Did William Casey (CIA Director) really say, “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”?
