It's been a while, but I thought the theory that MaxwellHill was Ghislaine had been debunked, And it turned out the user was some guy in Malaysia who lived near a place known as Maxwell Hill?

It's entirely possible I've fallen for a smokescreen, but also there never seemed to be a whole lot of evidence that account was Ghislaine's other than the name "Maxwell", which is pretty common.

    No that "debunking" doesn't hold up. It's not a Malaisian man.

    this claim started to look suspicious when people found that MaxwellHill had mentioned he/she had "visited" Malaysia before (which is not something one typically says about one's home country).[2]

    Most interesting development is the timing of when the MaxwelHill got added to the mod team again.

    The account itself does not appear to have a post history since Ghislaine got "freed". So adding it to the mod team of one of the biggest Reddit subs at that timing is just... Weird...

    I haven't seen any definitive evidence that this account belongs to her
