🕑 Added 2023-04-13 18:30:42 +0000 UTCAccording to Bellingcat and the New York Times, and confirmed by government officials, the admin of the Thug Shaker Central Discord server and alleged leaker of hundreds of secret and top secret documents is 21-year-old Airman First Class Jack Teixeria. Teixeria is an intelligence analyst with the 102nd Intelligence Wing of the United States Air Force located at Otis Air National Guard Base in Sandwich, Massachusetts.
The 102nd Intelligence Wing describes its mission as, "to provide worldwide precision intelligence and command and control along with trained and experienced Airmen for expeditionary combat support and homeland security."
According to the Facebook page of the 102nd, Teixeria was promoted in July 2022. Reportedly, he had access to facilities that print out classified documents for distribution.
Government officials who spoke off the record said that they've been tracking Teixeira "for some time."

After vetting, of course. 102nd was a fighter wing w/ F106s when I was a civi working there. Otis AFB was once largest Aerospace Defense Command base in the world. Kid’s dad worked in the IW for years. Bad vetting, period. Kid could have used some basic training and not commuting to moms after duty.

I just can't wrap my head around someone having access to that level of sensitive security information before they can even rent a car. I know those two things have nothing to do with each other. It's just a perspective.

How they may look, or their age has nothing to do with their clearance. If their job requires the clearance then they get the clearance.
Who NEVER EVER talked shop!
I look at that kid and think of the impact. What was his need to know? I’m a peacenik, but know actual spooks, directorate J2s, 11G5S types. Then I see this kid on my base! Feeling real old.
You'd be very surprised who hold ts security clearances. My first MOS we had to have one just for record keeping due to nature of the personal information collected on those records. We got the tsc midway through training. I can absolutely see that kid having access to all sorts of information. The problem is, these kids don't fully realize the dangers of their actions or the consequences thereof.

Frankly is almost impossible to believe that this person was in a position to acquire top secret Intel. I also feel that some people don't live in the real world. This is an act of treason against your country and fellow Americans. It is the Cardinal sin. They shoot people for this in many countries including the Russian State. One wonders!
Plenty of 21 y/o and younger weekend warriors out there with TS. Intel field has greatly expanded since the 1970s, both in numbers and mission.
Wow, I can't imagine what he hoped to gain from this... terrible person
21 yr old weekend warrior. No way t/s clearance. Fun fact-I worked for 102nd MA ANG at Otis AFB during the 1970’s BORMAC days.
Traitors in uniform are the worst kind.
At the time of publication - no - but looks like it is happening. DOJ is holding a press conference imminently
Has he been arrested?
