<p>The New York Times identified on Thursday the leader of an online group where hundreds of photos of classified U.S. military documents were leaked as a 21-year-old member of the intelligence wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard who was <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/leak-documents-likely-came-from-air-national-guardsman-at-fort-bragg-official-says-dbf48c0a">based</a> at Fort Bragg at the time of the leak.</p>
<p>The newspaper identified the leader as Jack Teixeira, of Bristol, Mass, who allegedly oversaw a private Discord server called &#8220;Thug Shaker Central&#8221; that was comprised of a couple dozen like-minded men and boys.</p>
<p>The report said that U.S. officials want to talk Teixeira because they believe that he &#8220;might have information relevant to the investigation.&#8221;</p>
<p>The New York Times showed up to Teixeira&#8217;s family home and was informed by his mother that he was a member of the Air National Guard and that he changed his phone number in the last few days.</p>
<p>The Times said that a person who appeared to be Teixeira later drove up to the home and that when the Times and asked if he was willing to speak to them, a man on the driveway told them that was not a good idea.</p>
<p>“He needs to get an attorney if things are flowing the way they are going right now,&#8221; the man told the Times. &#8220;The Feds will be around soon, I’m sure.”</p>
<p>Shortly after The New York Times published its report, Reuters reported: &#8220;An Air National guardsman suspected of leaking classified Pentagon documents will be arrested today in Massachusetts.&#8221;</p>

<p>A member of the group <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/04/12/discord-leaked-documents/">told</a> The Washington Post that the alleged leaker, referred to as &#8220;OG,&#8221; expressed anti-government sentiment but they did not believe he was trying to help any foreign power, and they think he was trying to show off.</p>
<p>“If you had classified documents, you’d want to flex at least a little bit, like hey, I’m the big guy,” one member said, later adding, “I would definitely not call him a whistleblower. I would not call OG a whistleblower in the slightest.”</p>

<p>The documents that were leaked contained information about battlefield conditions in Ukraine, information on foreign adversary&#8217;s weapons systems, assessments on how deeply U.S. intelligence had penetrated into the Russian military, information on Egypt planning to sell weapons to Russia, and much more.</p>
<p>The report said there were numerous forensic clues left behind by the leaker that would likely prove to be highly useful for U.S. law enforcement in identifying the suspect.</p>
<p>President Joe Biden <a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/04/13/biden-pentagon-leak-investigation-close">said</a> this week that the U.S. authorities were &#8220;getting close&#8221; to catching the person responsible for the leak.</p>
<p>CNN <a href="https://twitter.com/ZcohenCNN/status/1646518629037658118">reported</a> Thursday that the FBI has narrowed down the number of people who could be responsible to a &#8220;small number&#8221; of suspects and are &#8220;working on building a case for prosecution.&#8221;</p>
<p>OG&#8217;s continued leaking of classified material eventually leaked out of the discord server after one of the members started sharing the images on February 28 with another Discord server affiliated with a YouTuber that has nearly a quarter of a million subscribers. Several days later, on March 4, more of the images started to appear on a different Discord server dedicated to the Minecraft video game.</p>
<p>However, the leak would still not be detected by U.S. authorities for another month when classified documents started appearing on Russian Telegram channels and 4chan, before making their way onto Twitter.</p>
<p>OG reportedly panicked after learning that the images had been leaked and asked members to &#8220;keep low and delete any information that could possibly relate to him,” according to a member of the group.</p>
