READ THIS. Give KermitTHEFrog a break.

I found this earlier today. Gameinformer were actually able to speak to KermitTHEFrog and verify he is the owner of the account. This completely changes my opinion on the story and I no longer have any ill-will towards him. http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/02/22/man-accused-of-deleting-11-year-old-s-destiny-data-is-a-victim-also.aspx I have no interest in argueing with anybody over this matter. This is just to continue to help everybody get all the facts. Edit 1: Lots of replies good to see this getting out there. I do not care if you disagree with this post but no need to reply here if you are just going to try to shit all over me or anybody else here. Edit 2: Over 1000 comments...wow. People coming from both sides. Lots of funny comments and a lot of people taking this situation WAY to seriously. Anyone wishing death on 'Adam' or anyone in his family, really needs to get themselves some help.

    He got in an accident November 1st 2014 and because of the accident he had no idea what was going on... Yet I just found a post from November 1st 2014 of another victim who had his characters deleted by KirmitTHEfrog. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/76349632/1/4 Edit- Guys lets try to keep this up top so that everyone is aware of this huge inconsistency. Edit 2- Ty to all who've been bumping. No fools in this community. ;)

    • An email "claiming to be [Adam's] mother? Ha! That's all it takes? OK. Hey GameSpot! I'm his " dead sister " back from the dead to tell you it was a demon from the forth ring of hell that deleted that kids account. Does that make it true? Hell no. He's tired of all the retaliation and threats and possibly wanted to escape the ban hammer so he wanted to save face by making a sob story and even included a few threats in it. Making up a fake sister who died of cancer to make him seem even more victimized by shit that was said. He faked the email, why else doesn't he just upload a video, apologize to the kid, and let people see his remorse for the kid by saying everything in the email? [spoiler]because the kid will recognize his voice and call bull shit. [/spoiler]

    • [b]Sorry but I don't buy this story one bit. [/b] This line from the article stood out for me: [i]"Unfortunately, Adam doesn’t know which of the people using his PlayStation 4 deleted Henry’s data. “I wish I knew who it was,” he says. “I don’t. I was so sleepy half the time from pain medication."[/i] Are you telling me the parents and this 23yr old had no idea who was in their house, or their son's bedroom on February 13th/14th at the specific time of the incident to know who did it? For me this reeks of parents trying to excuse their son's behaviour and cover his tracks. It's easy to play the sob story card and try spin the incident in your favour but at the end of the day, it was HIS account and HIS ps4 in HIS possession so he is completely responsible. Another line from the article goes: [i]“At the beginning of November, [“Adam”] was hit by another driver head-on; the next couple of months he spent time recouping and finally returning to work where he spends a great deal of time to make up for lost wages and bills that piled up,” his mother told me via e-mail. [/i] So this "Adam" was well enough to return to work, yet he was so incapacitated at home on medication he couldn't see who was in front of him on his PS4? Absolute joke of an excuse. And finally, although this "Adam" said he feels bad for the kid, neither him nor his parents issued an apology to the victim [b]once[/b] during their entire response. Why is this? Surely no matter who did it and how, as it was his console and his house, he should apologise to this child regardless? Please people of the internet, don't buy this cr@p Gameinformer, Adam or his parents are trying to sell you.

        Do a search for kirmitTHEfrog in the forums. Look at his responses to peoples comments. The guy is a douche who laughs about it and even tells how he did it! I dont buy this car crash story.. not at all. Some of his reponses were days later. So his friends went on his log-in in the forums and were bragging in here as well? Give me a break, guy is a douche.. now from everyone hating on him he is just looking for an excuse and a scapegoat! DOUCHE!

          • People are pathetic. It's amusing to watch all of your hypocrites wish death on someone for something so little. Sure someone lost some time in a video game, and you seriously want another's life to be taken for it? Perhaps you should look at yourselves before calling others monsters.

                • Every griefer or scammer who gets caught uses the excuse "it wasn't me on the account it was ________". They are using that excuse to stop the hate mail and aftermath. They are using the accidents as pity attempts. Pathetic.

                  • Please look up his account, kirmitTHEfrog, 2 i's, not kermit. He has played 352 hours on one account, 76 on another. So he has been injured and sleeping a lot since NOVEMBER and not a lot of time for video games as his mother stated? His friends must live at his house and play the game for him. In fact, they beat Crota for him today.

Are you kidding me. Anyone could of written it. And this story is so unbelievable btw. If you ppl wanna believe this crap, well I got a bridge to sell you.

                      • Listen, we heard different stories here and there. A story told is not the proof of what actually happened. I don't think all this hate for Kermit is justified, and I don't think Cuckoo deserves all this attention. Say what you will about Kermit. In any civilized society, he is innocent until proven guilty.

                      • Would also like to add that Kermit posted on these very forums the other day somewhere, gloating about the whole thing. Guess his friends and family have his bungie details and/or have access to the app on his phone...seems suspicious to me. Fair enough he had an accident, bad times. But boredom can make you bitter toward people. I'm skeptical to all of this.

                        • Unless whoever he let use his account was a habitual offender, this wasn't the only time it occurred. It kinda shoots some holes in his claim he knew nothing of it. In fact, because he was home 24/7 for such an extended period of time... I am leaning towards the fact he at least knows more than he's letting on. That is of course my own opinion.

                          • The game informer article is bologna, that account (kirmit) has been doing this since Shareplay was available. There is a thread that documents his entire reign of terror against the youngest of Destiny guardians. First report was November 1st (w/timestamp on forums). He is mentioned by name (and tagged). A Mentor notes that nothing can be done to help them with this issue. Please do not defend the faceless. You do not know Kirmit, you do not know if Matt Futter isn't actually Kirmit Himself. Game Informer has had about as much useful information in its article as the titanic had need for Icebergs.

                          • You ain't seen the post about him deleting some other poor kids stuff the day before his crash?? Yes he was in a crash but don't change the fact deleting was going on before it! So his crash story is just some sob story to get people off his back The guys a prick and I don't believe any of this shit it was someone else doing it. It was clearly him all along now now he's trying lie his way with a cover story n pass the blame on.
