The news is likely, alas, not fake. The name, type of activity, city of residence in Israel and Russia coincide, there is a portrait similarity. The dead man’s email address was also located on ru-board .com
In recent years, Edward was busy arranging in Russia, where he and his family moved from Israel, and practically did not appear on the resource. All this time, the forum has been working on “autopilot”, since management was concentrated in the hands of the owner. There are almost no moderators left. The self-written engine has not been developed for a long time, in addition, the resource has experienced several major crashes and database damage, which led to the complete destruction of the profiles of many users and the closure of the local torrent tracker.
The laptop of the victim, which contains all the information for access to resource management (admin panel, domain names and DNS), was withdrawn by the police. The already misty future of the forum is now completely covered with darkness.
Update 1: according to other data in the laptop did not contain anything that would be a threat to the forum.
Update 2: yes, it really was batva, the photos , alas, are the same.
Update 3: Possible motives for the murder - 1 , 2 .
