He was arrested in a sting targeting online child predators after he tried to meet up with a girl he thought was his age. He's severely autistic and was forced to confess to several things he didn't do (including rape) without a lawyer present. Spent a year in prison essentially in limbo of constantly changing charges because the NJ DA couldn't make up their mind, and each attorney they hired took the money and mishandled his case due to him being suspected of child rape. He was released on minor charges with time-served in 2021 but later committed suicide after being viciously and repeatedly harassed by his probation officer.

He's my cousin. Out of respect, that's all I'm going to share (though its a bit much already).

Hope that gives you some closure.

I friended u

if yall wanna know just dm me

@Ariealis I've been trying to figure out what happened to him too, I've been friends with him for years, its even documented in this thread, and he also got me through tough times. Through myself and Tatertot's digging, we found some stuff that was related to things he told me in private on discord/steam messages.

Nobody from our old friend groups knows for certain what happened. If this whole thing could come to a proper conclusion, good or bad, that would be great. If anyone has an answer let me know please.

I remember years ago being friends with Zarnick under the alias of DestinedAimi. He got me past dark times when I was younger and I used to message him updates about how I was doing for years before I finally got around to purging my friends list on Discord. We helped each other in terms of emotional and moral support. No matter the circumstance or what happened to him, my heart still goes out to him for everything.

If anyone has located his new account or knows what actually happened to him, please reach out.

no shot thats him...
