I've never interacted with him in except for doing a last-minute entry in the Spring 2010 Lisp Games Jam. But, I'm considering trying to call. If one of you knows him better, I'll defer so we don't all bug him.

My best guess from the cryptic message from the 24th there is that somehow David ended up under DoD investigation because of something someone else shared with him? Or because David had been a DoD contractor at some point in the past and in talking with some more recent contractor gave the impression that he has been able to use stuff he learned while DoD? I have no idea. But, I'm concerned.

What the hell is going on here?
David's email addresses are rejecting mail, and his blog(s), github repos,
youtube videos, and various online profiles have all been taken down.
I thought this was about someone else's potentially confidential
information, not David's.
Did I miss something? Anyone else have any leads here?

My last contact with him was 8 days ago when all this happened.
Haven't heard from him since. Weird.
