Yes, the mod stopped posting publicly around the time she went to prison. That seems to have been the catalyst for the conspiracy theory.
But it was actually a couple days apart; he stopped posting before she went to prison. And he actually posted to some private subs, and was involved in some DMs, after he stopped posting publicly and after she went to prison.
There's really very little evidence other than a vague coincidence of when he left Reddit and when she went to prison, and the name.
And, like, if she were posting anonymously, why would she use that name?
It's basically just completely incoherent. Like many conspiracy theories, they take a lot of other random data points, and if you sift through and cherry pick enough data points you can find others that taken out of context look like coincidences. But that's just because you're cherry picking between two large distributions of data.
>It's basically just completely incoherent. Like many conspiracy theories,
These are absurdly strong claims. This isn't an incoherent theory... it's inconclusive, sure. Unprovable? Probably (difficult to imagine what would have to change to find out with certainty one way or the other).
It's incoherent. It simply makes no sense at all that Ghislaine Maxwell, a wealthy socialite, would post a bunch of stuff on Reddit for years to accumulate meaningless internet points, under something based on her own name, while somehow also trying to be anonymous.
This is a simply incoherent theory. There's no sense in it. You don't post "anonymously" under your own name.

Precisely, but the coincidences that line up are on the side on improbable she was not the mod. (See link in OP)
i.e. it's almost impossible for to have been anybody else. The supposed "mod chats" are clearly fabrications met to cover it up.

This goes into far more detail on the individual claims from the original conspiracy theory: https://coagulopath.com/ghislaine-maxwell-does-not-have-a-se...
But it really doesn't take this much detail to realize that this conspiracy theory is incoherent, at a surface level it just makes no sense at all.
The entirety of the "evidence" is standard conspiracy stuff, of making vague generalizations, bad interpretations, cherry picking data, etc.
I can't believe people are this gullible.
