… DOGE staffer Edward Coristine was fired by Path Network in 2022 (a company known for hiring former hackers), for leaking confidential information to a competitor. Bloomberg is reporting that they have a letter from Path stating: “Edward has been terminated for leaking internal information to competitors. This is unacceptable and there is zero tolerance for this.”

… Bloomberg: “Several of Coristine’s online peers and former co-workers said they were surprised that the teenage friend they knew has been brought into one of the most high-profile teams in the Trump Admin. His 2022 dismissal and the circumstances surrounding it add to questions about how he arrived in this new job with Musk’s DOGE, and how he’ll handle the sensitive government information that comes with it.

… Coristine went by the online moniker “Big Balls”.

… Wired reported that “Big Balls” has founded 5 companies since he turned 16, including Tesla.Sexy LLC, a company managing multiple web domains. One of his domains hosted "Helfie," an AI bot marketed to Discord users in Russia. Always a connection to Russia with these guys.
