It's not so easy, connecting [name redacted] and [redacted] without resorting to OP's writing was quite tricky - after looking at some Dropbox patents I _think_ that's the same person, but still ain't sure.

...I'm not mystified about claims of friendship with Nat Friedman - I don't have a high opinion of the latter, I see evidence of friendship with other Open Source folks, and that kind of people tends to be "friends" with _a lot_ of people.

They had a podcast together. http://web.archive.org/web/20100216070208/http://hackermedle...

Here's the warrant showing that "Alex Graveley" as an alias https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PG-B5678UbxeBz87Rpwn3hmWcVu...

...that's still relying entirely on you, though. I don't see any other public source. Perhaps I could request that from the cops - but I'm not American. Elsewhere you mentioned communication with de Icaza - wouldn't be the first time someone like that would hide their head in the sand, but it's still a bit hard to parse that he didn't say anything publicly.

When I spoke to Miguel, he said both Alex and Nat were "assholes when they were drunk."

He also said that Nat had "Hurt him deeply" and they don't talk much anymore. From what I can tell Miguel stayed friends with Alex and congratulated him on the launch of Copilot even knowing about the abuse that happened to me in greater detail than I had shared publicly.
