Man from Allen, Texas busted with 58 terabytes of child porn

Unrelated probably but I just came across this and I wonder if this guy had any ties to Depfile which was also coincidentally and mercifully shut down on Tuesday and its owners arrested.

Same. I wanna drive down from Denton and kick him in the balls myself.
Hundreds of millions of kids and teens around the world with unrestricted, unsupervised access to internet capable devices with cameras who are getting capped/recorded by the creeps (and potentially blackmailed by said creeps) which as I mentioned before is probably a huge portion of it.
14 tb is about as much data that exists within the Library of Congress too. I can only imagine its the tip of the iceberg.
Well, that's my day ruined. Fucking disgusting pedofile needs to be put in prison. He's probably distributing too.
It feels like there is so much more evil out there than good. I mean these heroes who have to review this will suffer and there are tons more child predators around the corner.
Ugh.
That's probably true. And the saddest part is that someone has to do it.

Right? Like, I knew child porn was a thing that you'd trade on the dark web.
But I didn't know there was 58 fucking TERABYTES of it.
There should be a community who shared that much of content. Find it and destroy it and everyone's involved to ashes.
Was this guy hosting a server farm or something? I can't imagine that much content being all for personal use. Also the online communities where he downloaded all this shit deserve mention too. I'm surprised he managed to download that much without getting caught in the FBI sting operation that (apparently) most of the CP sites on the Dark Web are now.
Maybe that's how he was caught.
"Hey, Greg, why's this drawer filled with hard drives labeled Child Porn?"
"Uuuhhh..."
Seriously though, the article was posted the day after the search. There's no way they've been able to process all those 58 terabytes in one day. The actual number is probably going to end up being much lower (though any is obviously too much).
He really should just be step one (or maybe step 2). The bigger and more important targets are the ones creating the images he was hoarding. There are children that need saving.
Even if he didn't produce any himself he still harmed children by creating demand for abuse images.
The existence, distribution, and viewing of this stuff is always harmful to a lot of people. I get what you're saying, but please keep in mind that there's no way this could ever not harm somebody.
This is a world wide industry that probably makes billions of dollars. It fuckin sick.
