Legends swirl when powermods vanish overnight

Conspiracy theories about Reddit powermods never fail to entertain me, but the wildest one has to be the rumor that Ghislaine Maxwell was secretly one of the top news moderators. Supposedly, there was this legendary mod account - the first ever to hit a million karma - that mysteriously stopped posting on all the big news subreddits the exact day Maxwell got arrested in 2020. Then, after Trump reportedly got her transferred to a minimum security prison (the type that usually doesn’t even take sex offenders), people started insisting the account suddenly reappeared and went back to business as usual. The internet really can’t help itself sometimes.
