I suspected that he was still alive and had faked his death to try and avoid getting into trouble when the news broke about him being a fake and posting other members pictures on porn sites. Turns out I and many others were right.

Tony83 is among the best skilled modders....

too bad he does the impersonation of model artist and claiming he was gay...
and doing some straight bashing at TWC...

Edit: For being silly

I suggest you dig into the whole thread before leaking false information.
I have never really visited the TWC but even as a non TWCer I could do better than gathering your false info from the relevant thread.

I quote from the OP of that thread:

After a protracted and detailed investigation we have to inform the members about the following:

* The member "Tony83" posted pictures of another person claiming the images as his own. We have evidence that the person in the images is in no way associated with the user of the "Tony83" account. We are certain about the identity of the person in the photos and fairly confident about the true identity of "Tony83".
* The user behind the Tony83 account has victimized some TWC members who shared images with him by posting their pictures, without their consent or knowledge, on other sites; some of which were pornography sites.
* We are still investigating this case and we will consider further action if we feel it is necessary. If any member has exchanged pictures with that user please contact any administrator by PM and we may be able to assist at their removal.
* We have no reason to believe that the member using the Tony83 account is deceased.

We understand that internet anonymity offers people the chance to assume a persona which may differ from reality. However, that anonymity does not excuse the user of the Tony83 account from deceitfully exploiting others. His malicious behavior has forced us to make this announcement in order to protect the TWC membership and the site.

Thank you,

TWC

And a statement that was issued several times:

Keep the discussion within what's been stated in the Hex statement in the OP, or what has been disclosed by individuals directly involved. No name-calling, no accusations beyond the evidence presented.

tony83 had no Moderator rights, he has gained the trust of some members (some of these were obviously minors) and misused that trust to get them to send him compromising photos of themselves, which he then uploaded to various internet sites (some of them apparently porn sites).
tony83 also used pictures of a public figure, stating that those were photos of himself. This public figure has no direct connection to tony83, as far as the ones looking into it know.
No one but tony83 was involved, that is, as the perpetrator, several were obviously involved as victims, although there is no mention of an admin sending pictures to tony83.

I think, even though we are not members of TWC (some are) and this is not TWC, we should respect their request and we should stay away from speculating about their site, it's members or staff.
I think this thread should be closed.

Im a member of TWcenter and have been for years. (under a different name from this forum) I have had PM's sent to me that confirm what I just said earlier.

I suggested that tony83's ISP be contacted so that he could be charged, so far nothings been done.

**TheLastDays** · 10-11-2011, 21:07

I have read the additional thread and have to retract the statement that tony83 wasn't a moderator. It seems he was, although this has never been hidden over there. Since I'm not a TWC regular I think I can be forgiven for making this mistake.

Anything else I said is part of the information revealed there. Particularly the accusations towards one of their admins have been revealed as false and later claimed, by the person who first uttered them, to be a joke.
I have the slight feeling your name over there is "The Illusionist" and all the speculation and conspiracy theories you're throwing around are not helping matters. As I said, let's respect what the staff of TWC have requested.

Who did you contact? If you don't want to reply publicly, you can PM me here or at TWC. I have the same name over there.
