> asstr was always registered to the Internet Free Literature Corporation.
I have a hard time understanding the timeline of what you are alleging.
Is your claim that ASSTR was a "DOJ sting operation" from the very beginning?
Or that at some point, the DOJ took over control of "Internet Free Literature Corporation?" And when would that have happened, before or after the 2017 crash that left the site so hobbled that it is basically nonfunctional?

This is true, I suppose, but at the same time it's one of those non-falsifiable statements that doesn't advance the ball one millimeter. It could be applied to anything, at any time, and doesn't require any evidence to support it.
