From what we know, it can only come down to 3 possibilities:
- Rick ordering the swats
- Torswats doing it for fun
- A Kiwi doing it
If a Kiwi is responsible, as you believe, why was Rick swatted so many more times than any other Kiwifarms lolcow, including streamers, and including many, many other lolcows that are significantly more popular? And what would be the motivation? If it happened once or twice, I could see it being a Kiwi. But at this point we are looking at several thousands of dollars being spent and risking many decades in prison with no payoff and giving his "target" exactly what he is looking for.
If Torswats was doing it for fun, the same question as above comes up. Why Patrick and not any of the other more popular cows? Why was Pat not mentioned in their private chats while their other targets were? Why did Patrick not have a cowbin thread until after they outed him?
Obviously without access to Pat's finances, we don't have definitive proof, but the path of least resistance leads us to him.
