Six months after the initial exposure, a major development shook the crypto community. Jack D Quillin, the operator behind the LAScanner account, was taken into custody at LAX airport during a visit to Los Angeles. According to multiple sources, the Department of Homeland Security was directly involved in the arrest. The move came following widespread revelations that the account had been used for doxing activities targeting federal agents. The incident marks a significant moment in the ongoing discussion about accountability and consequences within online communities, particularly around actions that compromise personal security and official operations.

Finally taking action. Doxing federal agents is really something that needs to be addressed. --- LAX arrest? The crypto community is about to blow up again, haha. --- Basically, it's playing with fire and risking self-destruction. Don't think hiding online means you're safe. --- The Department of Homeland Security has mobilized. This guy has gone viral, but unfortunately, for this kind of reason. --- Accountability? I just want to know how many other accounts are still lurking around. --- Doxing agents is truly incredible. Still thinking of walking away unscathed? Wake up. --- Laughing to death, getting caught in six months—this efficiency isn't bad. --- The "consequences" of online communities are here. Some are opening champagne, while others are cooling off in detention.

Damn, something finally happened. This guy really knows how to get himself killed—doxing a federal agent and still expecting to walk away unscathed? Sorry, let's start over; I feel it didn't sound natural enough as a genuine comment: --- This is the consequence. Hiding online until the end, you still end up revealing your true self at the airport. LAX has directly become a filming location, huh? --- Or: So after half a year, this is what we get. No wonder the crypto world is so chaotic—these kinds of things should be locked up wherever they happen. --- Or: But on the other hand, doxing federal agents is really ruthless. Not many dare to play it this way. Now you must understand what regret really means. --- And one more with a different style: Does anyone really think that being anonymous online makes you invincible? Haha, DHS folks are just hanging around.

Finally, someone has been caught. Doxing federal agents is definitely crossing the line... By the way, is this guy really trying to commit suicide? Dare to do it at LAX, the Department of Homeland Security is not to be underestimated. The crypto community needs to reflect. There should be a line between free speech and harassment. Now other people who want to play with fire should wake up, the virtual world cannot escape real-world sanctions. I really can't take it anymore. Someone is actually playing like this, and the consequences are now coming to light... Anyway, the red line of endangering security must not be crossed. No matter how anti-authority you are, there must be a bottom line. It's a bit comforting but also a bit frightening. This is a reminder that the internet is not above the law.

Finally here. I said this guy would eventually crash, doxing federal agents? Overthinking it, right? Caught by Homeland Security, now he knows the consequences... Speaking of being caught at LAX airport, this spread is really big, the entire Web3 community is talking about it. Being anonymous doesn't mean invincible. When it's time to settle debts, no one can hide. LAScanner is truly socially dead this time. Who would still dare to use it...
