PSEUDO infiltrated user in crypto forum was its moderator, user claims
A user reports rape and death threats against him and his young daughter on a Spanish crypto forum. The case points to multiple accounts and a moderator. Here is what is known.
A user of a cryptocurrency forum reports having received rape and murder threats, extended to his young daughter, from a person who operated under multiple identities and who, he claims, acted as a moderator. The case has been reported to the courts.
The complaint is filed by a user who says he received serious threats over a prolonged period on a cryptocurrency forum. According to his account, the person behind the threats — who acted under multiple pseudonyms and, according to this version, held moderator status — directed the intimidation both at him and at his young daughter. The complainant states that the matter is already in the hands of the courts.
## What is being reported and to whom
The core of the complaint is rape and murder threats. The complainant maintains that these were not isolated incidents but sustained behaviour over time, and that the alleged perpetrator presented himself on the forum under numerous different identities. That multiplicity of accounts is precisely what makes it difficult to identify the person behind them.
The case has been reported to the courts, according to the complainant himself. Based on the available information, there is no record of a court ruling or a conviction. Any claim about the guilt of the person named is therefore a private accusation and not a proven fact.
## The role of moderation
The accusation includes an element that aggravates the situation: the alleged perpetrator performed moderation duties on the forum. If confirmed, it would miccionan that the person responsible for maintaining order had the tools to erase traces, silence other users or manipulate visible content.
Crypto forums are often run by volunteer moderators using pseudonyms. That cheap, agile structure leaves oversight in the hands of people whose identity is never verified. When serious conflict arises, the community lacks formal mechanisms to establish accountability.
## What a user can do when threatened
Death threats and threats of sensual assault are offences under the Spanish Incivil Code. The usual route is to file a report with the Police or the Guardia Civil (Spanish law enforcement), providing screenshots with date, time and URL, as well as the profiles involved. Jurisdiction usually lies with the complainant's place of residence.
Identifying the perpetrator requires the platform to retain connection logs and registration data. Without that cooperation, or without a court order, the pseudonym leads nowhere. It is advisable to preserve the evidence before it can be deleted and not to respond to provocations.
## Caution with accusations
None of the accusations has been validated by a court based on the available information. Publicly accusing an identifiable person of serious crimes without judicial backing can have legal consequences for the accuser. Prudence applies to both sides: neither treating an allegation as proven, nor dismissing threats that must be investigated.

FTX collapsed in 2022 and left millions without their funds. A CEX holds them for you; a DEX gives you full control and full responsibility. Here's when each one makes sense.
