Found a better pic of the screen. I'm assuming he's the one with the green text..

That image suggests that he's some kind of moderator/admin! The chat log says that the same guy talking about chatting "from the sky" also approved a chat message with a link in it.
Also the pedo excuse of "it's more common than we like to pretend." 🤮
Wtf is that site that made him so paranoid to be on it? Then brags about the URL hidden while still saying the name of the site in his message along with what I assume is a known CP media site....
I'm glad it did happen but also... What a fucking idiot. The fact that he is that bold makes me think he has been getting away with this shit for a long time.
