The mix-up occurred because the police missed a single underscore while investigating a suspect's username. FattackWhether the police or Kik misspelled the username remains unclear, but a single missing underscore is likely an easily missed detail, especially if the information was entered manually. The misspelled username led investigators to Klayme's Google account, after which Google provided them with his IP address. In 2024, he was sentenced to 18 months in prison and 18 months of probation. The legal team claims that tracing the correct username would have likely led police to a California-based user.
