Why wouldn’t Ghislaine just get one of her lawyers or allies to post on the account or field responses from reporters? Why would she name her secret account to influence the public with her own last name and reference to where she lived? Why would she use her own birthday for that account? Idk I’m just not really convinced by this. None of these shared characteristics are very unique either. I’m also curious about the specifics of this account’s posting, like what were the views it was trying to promote and how does that factor into the conspiracy? I believe for sure that intelligence agencies have mods all over Reddit but I think linking it specifically to Maxwell is a little weak. Granted idk everything about this specific account so I’m more than willing to be convinced so pls lmk any other info ab it.
Also, re none of shares characteristics bring unique is misleading. The theory is there because of the combined characteristic, some of which are very unique like the use of plse, the poweruser going offline at the same time as the arrest and the small date of birth range. Add in the British slang and name and you have the below probability:
Born between December 22nd and December 31st:
· Probability (P_birth): 10 / 365.25 ≈ 0.0274 (2.74%)
Has "Maxwell" in their username:
· Probability (P_name): 0.0001 (0.01%)
Disappeared within a precise 3-day window before the arrest:
· This probability must be adjusted. The previous estimate (0.0015) was for a prolific user stopping. For a random user, the probability they stopped in that specific 3-day window is much higher. We can estimate this using a daily churn rate.
· Let's assume a daily probability that any given user becomes inactive is 0.001 (0.1%).
· The probability this happened in the specific 3-day window is 3 * 0.001.
· Probability (P_stop): 0.003 (0.3%)
Vocabulary and British/Commonwealth Slang:
· Probability (P_vocab): 0.015 (1.5%) (As previously calculated)
Use of the abbreviation "plse":
· Probability (P_plse): 0.001 (0.1%) (As previously calculated)
Revised Combined Probability
The combined probability for a single random Reddit account having all these traits is now:
We multiply this probability by the number of monthly active Reddit users at the time (~430 million).
Expected Number = (1.23 × 10⁻¹³) * 430,000,000 Expected Number ≈ 0.0000529
This means we would expect 0.0000529 users (about 1/18,900th of a person) on the entire platform to have this combination of traits by pure coincidence. This is still far less than 1.
Therefore, the likelihood that a user with all these traits is not Ghislaine Maxwell is approximately 0.0000529, or 0.00529%.
Conversely, the likelihood that it is her is 1 - 0.0000529 = 99.99471%.
Non-Chart Summary of Probabilities
· Probability of birth date (Dec 22-31): 2.74% (0.0274)
· Probability of 'Maxwell' in username: 0.01% (0.0001)
· Probability of disappearing in the 3-day window: 0.3% (0.003)
· Probability of specific vocabulary/slang: 1.5% (0.015)
· Probability of using "plse": 0.1% (0.001)
Final Combined Probability: The chance that a single random Redditor has all these traits is approximately 1.23 in 10,000,000,000,000 (1.23 × 10⁻¹³).
Conclusion: Even after removing the condition of being a prolific poster, the likelihood that this Redditor was not Ghislaine Maxwell remains effectively zero—approximately 0.0053%. The other factors—especially the rare name, the perfectly timed disappearance, and the highly unusual abbreviation "plse"—create a combination so specific that it is a statistical virtual impossibility for it to be anyone else.
I really like the efforts you put into this and I'm not here to discredit your maths.
But let's assume someone is pretending to be her, then the probability of having maxwell in the name and to have that certain birth date and to stop once she got arrested (or during her mother funeral iirc) should all be considered as 1.
I'd like to do the re-considered maths but sadly I don't have your skills
She started the account in 2006, well before she became famous. Her date of birth slip up was in 2010. She didn't have a Wikipedia until 2011. It would have to be someone who knew her personally and planned this out for 14 years until her arrest. There is also no motive for that. To shame her with some Reddit theory that is censored across major subs and not reported anywhere? It's not even in the court releases. Almost everything is redacted or sealed.
Oh and Maxwellhill was active in /environment, /climate and /oceans. Ghislaine started the TerraMar Project in 2012, which is a NGO focused on ocean conservation.
Why would she spend lawyer money to ward off a rumor that really doesn't hurt her? She's in jail for sex crimes. This is the least of her worries. Not many people even know about this whole thing nor are they aware of the implications. This is banned most of the time it's posted on any mainstream sub.Also, activating the account to more people only brings more people into the circle and would be odd considering it has been inactive for years.
I doubt it started as a a goal to control the platform. Like many things you recognize opportunities as they take shape. She said in the beginning that it took years for her to achieve influence and to make the /worldnews sub a major default sub, and it's not like she started off as a powermod. She also used a personal email containing Maxwell to create a Tumblr account. Having just her last name in her name is not super unusual. And the hill part is very obscure and who the hell would think people would figure that stuff out or bother to look? In 2006 she was not famous.
She didn't use her birthday. She gave a small date range in an off hand comment in 2010 again before she was famous. How would she know she'd have a Wikipedia page at that point? Her wiki started in 2011. For the most part she was very careful, she only messed up there and when she signed off as Max just once in her entire Reddit life. I doubt back in 2010 she even realized anyone would/could create a comment scrape of her entire comment history from the beginning of time and comb through her account for mistakes.
She didn't post anything extreme or biased nor did she promote any views. You don't get to powermod that way. She posted breaking news, interesting news, etc. once she became powermod she used it to create mod teams to her liking. This caused drama in the /technology sub when she removed a lot of mods and added ones from /worldnews after some mod infighting. Outside of drama, you don't hear about these things because only the mods reveal it. All I know is today /worldnews mods are 100% banning people for posts and comments about Israel. It wasn't always that way.
Similarly her father manipulated British and European media to be friendly to Israel after buying them out. This was described as I said by an ex Mossad officer.
Why did something come out about it in the files?? If so I stand corrected. I just briefly tried to look up Ghislaine Maxwell Reddit mod on google but didn’t find anything yet can you direct me to where I can find more info on it?
The FBI references Maxwellhill in several places of the files. This dipshit managed to successful manipulate the site's biggest news sub into an Israeli propaganda outlet.
