Eh I don't really know what I meant by that. I think just that this is a real life thing that reads exactly like the beginning details of an international intrigue kinda movie/book... which is kinda cool!*

xxpost "Friends of Andreas Grassl told The Times that he'd spent hours in internet chat rooms, where he was known as "Scatman," and that he was a columnist for a local newspaper, writing about pop music.[6]"
When did we ban him?
