Navy Officer’s Discord Disaster: FBI Exposes Shocking CSAM Scandal
The FBI affidavit reveals how they tracked Navy Petty Officer Rumaldo Valdez, aka “Duck,” for allegedly sharing CSAM on Discord. Valdez’s digital trail involved a familiar mix of IP addresses, Gmail, and an unwise file named “illegal chars.txt.” Spoiler: the Navy isn’t thrilled.
Hot Take:
When you’re a Navy man using Discord to distribute child sex abuse material, you can’t just hide behind a duck. The FBI might call it a “quack” investigation, but they sure know how to ruffle some feathers and catch the bad guys. Valdez’s attempt to play hide-and-seek with law enforcement is like trying to camouflage in a neon jumpsuit—it ain’t gonna work, buddy!
Key Points:

– A confidential source spilled the beans on Valdez’s nefarious activities as part of a CSAM server.
