Earlier this week, “Social Media Platform 1”, as identified in the court complaint and appears to be Discord, provided the FBI with records pertaining to the investigation.
Those records included information related to Jack Teixeira’s social media account and “subscriber information for the administrator of Server 1 to which User 1 belonged”.
“According to these records, the individual using the Subject Username is the administrator of Server 1, the billing name associated with the Subject Username is “Jack Teixeira”, and the billing address associated with the Subject Username is a specific residence in North Dighton, Massachusetts.
Teixeira listed the North Dighton, Massachusetts, residence as his primary residence on employment paperwork with the US Air National Guard,” the complaint said.
“User 1 told the FBI that he spoke to the individual using the Subject Username at various times using a video chat application, voice calls, or the chat function on Server 1.
According to User 1, during one of those conversations, the individual using the Subject Username explained that he had become concerned that he may be discovered making the transcriptions of text in the workplace, so he began taking the documents to his residence and photographing them,” the complaint said.
