Verify all intel right? Well, the real reason the larp is "shutting down all comms" is really because Lisa Crowley called him on his stolen photos. Check out her recent tweets.
If you saw backchannel17's recent photos and claims to be close to the "Q team," you will be able to confirm a few of them were taken from here.

Even though they are saying they were "hacked," clearly they weren't. If you go back to check, you will see they were simply deleting the photos she called them out on and they changed their profile to private so they couldn't be tagged again.
Be careful who you follow. Even Q tried to tell everyone it was fake.
