FBI raids home of prominent computer scientist who has gone incommunicado
Indiana University quietly removes profile of tenured professor and refuses to say why.

Did he hide a shitload of national security secrets in his bathroom with the chandelier?
Oh no wait, if he did that they’d have done NOTHING

105 0 ReplyHuh, another good reason for sticking with physical money. You can't beat someone with a sock full of bitcoin.

Obvious possibilities:
- he was suspected of espionage and arrested (we don't know whether he did anything), for some reason it hasn't been disclosed (it should be disclosed)
- he disappeared on his own, officials are trying to understand what he knew or accomplished
The university de-listing him seems particularly interesting. Clearly they were told something that the public wasn't told.
33 0 ReplyWhile in normal times that would makes sense as a likely possibility from what little we know, today it seems equally possible he’s in Guantanamo as an illegal immigrant hardened criminal who is clearly a member of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang. I’m sure he’s responsible for half the Fentanyl in the US

48 0 ReplyThey don't have to be college kids. They will try to make anyone a terrorist. It's like the Mafia.
