        For years and years the user MaxwellHill was a power poster and powermod on hundreds of subs including most of the default ones. They went quiet the same day Ghislaine Maxwell went to prison

          Was… Is reddit just a front for pedophiles? I know r/spez modded u/jailbait but this doesn’t seem like a coincidence anymore…

            At the very least it has intelligence agency connections, look into Jessica Ashoosh who is the director of policy at reddit. She has the Atlantic Council and US Council on Foreign Relations on her rap sheet.

        the account maxwellhill was the top poster on reddit for years, and posted loads of news articles and stuff (but never posted a single article about anything related to epstein which is a bit weird considering that itd fit in completely with what they normally posted), also happened to be active in subs that aligned with ghislaine’s interests like r/environmentalism and had a track record of debating different age of consent laws from state to state. the user mentioned once that their birthday was in December after the 21st, and Ghislaine Maxwell’s birthday just so happens to be the 25th of December. There’s also a few points of inactivity on the usually very active account that happen to line up with deaths of ghislaine’s family members. additionally the account posted an article a few days before ghislaine was arrested and then just stopped entirely and to this day hasn’t had any other activity on the site. another thing is that maxwellhill seems to be a combination of her last name and childhood home Headington Hill Mansion.

        It’s all sort of circumstantial evidence and couldnt be proven in court or anything and i doubt there’ll ever be any sort of smoking gun but imo the account was probably hers.

        there’s also this article written by maxwellhill from 2011 that i find funny bcs it includes the line “maxwellhill could be anyone” in the introduction

        supposedly one of the reddit mods dmed maxwellhill after this was first being discussed and the user said that they’re actually a malaysian man but the only evidence of this is the reddit mods claim that it happened
