The one possible upside of this is that with the site management being the way it is, I’d say that possibility of the site being some fed honeypot has definitely gone down a few notches.

Does it really though? Right after USAID funds are frozen along with all kinds of other ops and funding through third parties?

Getting into the weeds of this devil's advocate paranoia here it would be the type of unimportant thing delegated to some cut-out, the exact kind of people locked out of their funds, their offices, their emails right now.

I mean think of the Iraq sub-reddit, it's clearly important to the US empire to manage that space yet it wasn't CIA officials but some think-tank cut-out of US imperialist interests running it. I'd imagine in this hypothetical scenario much as people like to imagine someone at FBI HQ personally reading the website every day that it would be delegated to some cut-out.

Now to be clear I'm just playing devil's advocate in this argument. I'm not saying the top admin was in the pocket of the US or anything that nefarious (though the timing is enough to ensure jokes should be made until the end of time), not trying to freak people out with wild accusations, just that this does nothing to prove or disprove really who the head admin who held everything is or what their agenda may or may not have been. All it really proves is that the other admins of that site have messed up in not pushing much harder to get that access and in not having someone pay attention to this given their infrequent contact with the other person. Certainly if they had someone checking up on this they would have sounded the alarm 30 days ago when it expired and giving people plenty of time to take steps.
