2018 Twitter account compromise
“ | I tried to login to the account to check the IP addresses and the password was changed.
I messaged Chris and asked him what was up and he simply said "Magi-Chan" is looking out for his best interests. |

The Captain[1] |
From October 2018-December 2018, Chris's CWCSonichu Twitter account was compromised by a troll posing as Magi-Chan who socially engineered him into giving his password. They would login and post tweets without his knowledge or consent. Some tweets which affirmed Chris's fantasies were kept up; others such as those leaking content from the Idea Guys would be swiftly deleted.
Location stamps
The Captain speculated that a VPN was used by "Magi-Chan" to tweet from CWCSonichu due to strange location stamps on some tweets. He reported that he asked Chris about it, and that "he didn't seem concerned about the location tag."[2]
A tweet from 14 October 2018 was stamped as being from Auckland, New Zealand.
Tug of war
The Guard Dogs were involved in a tug-of-war over the account.
