Getting your identity stolen is bad enough. What if it was abused to buy and sell some of the worst content imaginable?

That’s what happened to a man in Ohio, whose name and personal details were used by people who were allegedly trading child sexual abuse material (CSAM), according to a search warrant reviewed by Forbes.

In 2023, when the FBI began looking into a person uploading CSAM to Dropbox, they discovered they’interacting with an individual who’d been selling links to abuse material.

Data from the user’s CashApp showed it’d ostensibly been registered by a 31-year-old from Mississippi. When cops learned the man was also under investigation in Dallas, they decided to search his address.
