LOOK | It's been two days since Jack Douglas Tixiera was arrested on Thursday (April 14) for allegedly leaking a trove of highly classified documents online. US air national guardsman has been identified as the prime suspect in the leaked classified documents. Video footage from a local TV station showed him being led away in handcuffs.
New York Times Identified him as the leading figure in an Online Gaming Chat Room, Thug Shaker Central, on the social network Discord where he allegedly shared very highly sensitive and confidential files about the intelligence of the Ukrainian counteroffensive and details about American and Western Special Forces operatives in Ukrainian Soil. According to the document, dated 23 March, the UK has the largest contingent of special forces in Ukraine (50), followed by fellow Nato states Latvia (17), France (15), the US (14), and the Netherlands (1).
