If I link to any articles about it, I dox him unfortunately and I'd prefer not to. I was friends with cmang from our pre-teen days, and we were both heavily involved in the ansi/ascii scene. I'm sure there's still some here who remember him from efnet, or other places.

thats admirable, and i am certainly not telling you to do otherwise.
but i will point out that they have written out their full name and state on their github, patreon, and buymeacoffee.
I didn't notice that but you're correct, and that does change the calculus. In that case: https://www.mctxsheriff.org/news_detail_T6_R1333.php
That is not what he was charged with, and he was acquitted. I know him personally and he is a good guy, despite how this looks. I think you should remove this link.

If a programmer ends up in jail, it is kind of important to know why, so we can assess if we want to run/use their software. So without writing the details I found out, the alleged crime (if it is the same person) is a crime we as society disagree with, very much. But it isn't related to cybercrime in a sense where it can hurt this software project directly.
