Hi Roy,
I am very interested in trying to locate one Mr. Gary Stewart, aka
flatfish, for the purpose of determining if he is or has been
involved in the release of a virus/worm on the internet in 2004.
I don't know if you know or have contact with the author of:
http://colatrolls.blogspot.com
but the author mentions that flatfish uses Brazilian proxies to
send his posts on the site. I have reason to believe that this
person uses many names and is the person called "nymcluster" on the
Yahoo! SCOXQ.PK (now) boards. I also have reason to believe that
this "flatfish" has some connections to Brazil where Marcos Flávio
Araújo Assunção claims to have written that virus/worm.
If the author "Erik" has any information to assist me in locating
the actual "Gary Stewart" - it would be greatly appreciated. The
purpose of this request is to assist in the investigation and will
be handed over for follow up. I only want to determine if he is
involved, and if so, arrange for an arrest warrant. The rest is up
to Justice and the courts to decide. If you know "Erik" and can get
him to provide any information, I would appreciate your assistance.
I don' think it was written by anyone in the Linux community, but
if it was, I'd want to go after them just as much - no matter where
the facts lead - that's where I want this to end (an arrest of the
author and accomplices).
Have a nice day Roy. Don't worry, be happy.

too.

No clue who runs it. Nobody knows. I can only try guessing.

Flatfish posts in /., Digg and other places. Abusive stuff. Stalking too.
| If the author "Erik" has any information to assist me in locating
| the actual "Gary Stewart" - it would be greatly appreciated. The
Gary lives in New York, I believe. Maybe the Hamptons. I once saw the
details in COLA archives... they narrowed down the options. Look at
pre-2004 archives.

I believe Microsoft is involved. Not just 'the ecosystem'.
