Todd is the 15-year-old Canadian girl who recently took her own life after being incessantly bullied both online and off for three years. Todd made a Youtube video detailing her torment and begging for help one month earlier.
The identifying information was posted on Pastebin—a website frequently used to post small snippets of information or computer code by the group—and includes Viper’s profile on several child pornography sharing websites, as well as his real name and city of residence.
Investigators said anonymous did not have sufficient proof when they identified the first suspect, who was later identified as someone as someone to whom Todd had actually gone for help.
