On Thursday, immigration and customs officials questioned a woguy housing a copy of U.S. police internal documents allegedly stolen from his website, a well-known blueLeaks, Motherboard has reported.
The woman, Meghan, who asked to be known only through her first call because she fears reprisals from the police, is an administrator of The-Eye, a dressage company who has undertaken several high-level archival projects, adding that she houses a BlueLeaks mirror for a short time. She said 3 agents who knew themselves as components of National Security Investigations (HSI), ICE’s research division, came to their home in the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts, Thursday morning and asked about BlueLeaks, The Eye and Emma Best, the person who founded WikiLeaks’ distributed secret denial web page. , which first launched the mine of leaked police documents.
“I was caught by surprise,” Meghan told Motherboard through an intermediary.
“They described BlueLeaks without mentioning it by name, and then explained how The-Eye organized it. They asked me if I knew anything about it and what my participation was. I asked them if they were playing BlueLeaks and they said yes,” Meghan said. who is an open source developer consistent with and archivist.
Meghan stated that he replied that he remarked what ended up in The-Eye and that BlueLeaks came from the Denial of Distributed Secrets. The officers, he added, also asked him if he knew Best personally.
“They continued to investigate to see if it had large apple links with [Denial of Secret Distribution],” Meghan said. “And then, after all, he asked me to become an informant and introduced me to pay me for Apple’s data that would have caused arrests.” (ICE has been reported as paying for informants).

The officers’ visit is the lacheck progression in the police investigation into the escape. Earlier this month, Gerguy’s prosecutors confiscated the server used to host BlueLeaks, acting in coordination with U.S. authorities.
Meghan said officials had stated that she would be “the financial best friend financed and protected” if she provided them with “action” information. Instead, he said he had tried to distance himself from the whole stage because he didn’t even know who Best was until they misrepresented his name.
“I’m not worried about a wonderful array of brasoy political things, so it’s pleasurable to get carried away,” he added. “Definitely not as I expected or I was looking for my day to begin!
The motherboard attempted to touch several HSI agents in the number they gave Meghan. One of them did not respond to calls and voicemail. The other hung up when I met as a journalist. A few hours later, a DHS spokesman from the Miami Field Office came to provide assistance, following our calls to the officers.
The spokesman said he also cannot “concorporate or discuss the lifestyles of an investigation” and declined to mention whether officials had visited the Boston area.
Best said that, in his view, this was the first time the government had questioned anyone about BlueLeaks (the government took action by capturing the Gerguy server).
“It’s worrying that the executive intimidates other Americans not to share BlueLeaks. First, they took our public servant, now they’re attacking other Americans who house mirrors and wonder not only about BlueLeaks, but about me,” Best told Motherboard in a statement. network chat “So far, the executive has not performed any verification process and touched us. It has simply refueled the Gestapo since birth and is more curious about reappearing and retaliating than in the investigation.”
