This week, Moddex (AKA Snake, AKA Big Boss, AKA the Big Boss Snake), the head and the leader of the Solid Legion, got banned for a month after getting caught while working undercover.

Last Tuesday, Brochacho said, “Lonilon ded. Moddex ded.” After that, Moddex himself made an appearance and confirmed his “death” on his own Discord server, “He and I are both ded.” According to his words, Moddex asked for the ban appeal, but he also replied that he never had a modified client before, which seems to be contradictory.

“For a while, Moddex has been on a mission to gather as much information on the hackers as he could so that he would be able to advise his friends about how they could deal with them,” said Eret, one of our Discord chat moderators. “He took it upon himself as he could not see everything the dev team was doing behind the scenes, and therefore assumed they were doing nothing about it.” Shortly after that, Eret also added, “His actions could be described as vigilante justice, either way, he's a very interesting character.”

Moddex stated that he was watching the hackers, “Well, it was back in the day when the hackers were all around us using that mainstream hack, so we looked into it and saw some little tricks...” Later, he admitted that he was indeed crashing other people’s clients by dropping bombs in VRChat to get rid of people who seemed to be unwanted in our community, “Crashing those who are just a***s ? Yep. We indeed are able to do that.”

But then, according to Moddex, hackers found him. “They found me. Well, at least one of ‘em who was angry ‘cause I kicked him from my server, but that was back then, dunno if they are still able to do so.”

However, Moddex never intended to become a hero, “Welp, those who think that I am a vigilante are foolish, because there are worse things than a dude with bombs.” He understands that his ban cannot be avoided, so he’s staying out of trouble for a while, even though he says his only goal is to “have fun” in VRChat. “Either way, the ban won’t be undone ‘cause of reasons, I guess. Anyhow, my actions were bad, so I’ll accept the ban.”
