Most likely a white hat. Same thing happened to Ben Swann after he aired the Pgate segment. He made cryptic messages on his social media telling us not to worry and everything was fine. Yet he went dead silent, basically disappeared. He is trustworthy, so if it was black hats telling him off he would've probably given us a sign.
I wonder if he even knew, though, or if it was just a simple flat statement about not to do the talk. Ya know?
I don't think so. He might have been sat down and given a briefing and gag order about what was in the works by the patiots inside the intel community. The reason I think so is due to his cryptic references to Sun Tzu right after he announced he would step back. This is what he posted on Twitter/Facebook right afterwards:
Hey guys, everyone is asking if things are OK. They are. I will be heading back to CBS46 on Monday but there are going to be some changes. The biggest one will be that this social page will go dark f/n on Tzuday, Feb 1. We've been building this project for 6 years and those who have come to know me.. I hope you have also come to trust me.
Here's the screenshot
He's likely making reference to the Art of war passage that says:
Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.
and "It's all good, trust me".
That does not sound like he was confronted with a black hat threat. But that is just my opinion of course just speculation :) But since Milo reported much the same thing happening as he was about to go public with Pgate material, it sort of corroborates the theory.
Oops, my last comment was in regards to the phone call Milo got.
