This is the toughest post I ever had to make and I still can't believe this shit is happening right now. First, let me copy what I already posted on discord on Thursday...
Okay, I know that was kinda scary and super vague, and even worse, it was technically wrong ( not blackmailed, I'm getting framed ). I didn't want to worry anyone, but I wanted to keep you guys informed in case it will take longer than it did in the end. So I have some bad news, some super bad news and some neutral news.
I'm getting framed. Someone is framing me and now I'm getting accused of being some kind of crypto scammer. Everyone that knows me knows that I hate crypto, but apparently whatever evidence was provided, was enough. I got raided by the cops. They confiscated all my pcs and my phone. They took all devices that I had for backups at my place. That is the super bad news.
I'm super crippled in my ability to work atm. For some reason they didn't notice ( or didn't care ) about a Laptop I had ( it was still in its packaging behind other packages ). I have a backup copy of Honey Select on my own server, which I could download, and regarding the script I was just able to download the latest MNF beta and continue working there. So, I should be able to continue work on MNF without any big issues ( except the laptop handicap, I guess ).
Here comes the bad part, though: My New Memories and my DAZ3D assets. They are on my pcs and the external ssds I had. And they are with the cops right now. I have an appointment with an lawyer tomorrow, since this is some serious shit. I will tell him that I need these things for work and that I want them back. In germany, the cops usually just mirror your hard drives and then work with those copies. So I hope that this can be solved sooner than later, but I don't have a timeframe ( or know if I'll get anything back at all ). I only have the assets for Bethany and Sabrina in my mega cloud, since my daz3d in general is over 1TB big. So I have no idea when I can continue work on MNM, since this stuff is so fresh and I didn't talk to my lawyer yet, everything is kinda in the open.
I made this post on thursday on Discord, once I got access to my phone number again so I could log into my accounts. The appointment with the lawyer was... Okay, I guess. He told me that he will ask the police to check the external ssds ( that contain my daz3d files ) first, and if they are clean ( which they are ), hand them back out to me again. The shit news is that he doesn't have a timeframe for it, but he told me right away "I can't get your hopes up that it will be solved super fast". He has to request access to the case files, which might be fast or not fast.
So, what's the plan now? Honestly, I have no idea. I already put a shitton of effort into Chapter 4 and now I have no idea when I can get back to working on MNM. These investigations can take weeks or even months... Which makes me insane. I'm literally going insane because this is my life, working on these games for the last four years has been my life, and now it's being threatened with some bullshit that I didn't do. I know the cops have to investigate but...I don't know. This is way too much for my mental health to handle, to be honest. I had a breakdown on wednesday when it happened and the last few days it was actually the same. I just don't know what to do anymore. Yes, I can finish MNF, but my plan was to finish MNF and then work on Chapter 4 so I can release it this year. Should I work on MNF ? I have no idea. I can't just recreate the characters or else I would. I know it was stupid from me to not upload at least the character files somewhere online, so I can use them. Finding and downloading the other assets is no problem... But I can't recreate the characters just like that. It's just... It's just too much for me at the moment. And the only thing I can do is wait for my lawyer to do his job.
My move is more or less done now and I'm in the new apartment, and what was planned to be a new start to a better life quickly became the literal worst days of my life so far. And as the saying says, it can always get worse. I just hope I reached rock bottom and now it's time to climb back up...
The most important thing is that the accusations are false. It's annoying that the cops confiscated your computers.
But in the end they only do their job.
Maybe there is a chance to get the hardware back a little bit sooner when you can prove that you need it for your daily work.

i hate to be that guy, but isn't there a possibility of the police giving you a fine or something considering the porn restrictions in germany? kinda makes me think you got targeted to shut down your games using the crypto scam allegations as a false front and foot in the door.
Killer7 is there any chance to file a counter lawsuit against whoever made these claims or even against the police for false charges, harrassment, interruption of work/livelihood, or even because of emotional/ mental health issues, false unlawful confiscation of private property or at least something so you can get some kind of compensation?
My lawyer told me to write down all the monetary loss I have, so we will probably go that was. Its still super fresh.

I don't think he can do anything against the police. It's a fucked up situation but they are just doing their job. When someone reports a crime, the police has to investigate. But in that situation I would 100% sue the fucker that falsely accused me. When they go through K7's shit they won't find anything but it can take months for something like that to be done and having your life on pause because of some asshole that has nothing better to do must be horrible.

Why, the, fuck would someone do shit like this, its fucking unfair, ( 'scuse the language, but it pisses me off that someone would have the fucking balls, ( if they're not already lacking said part ), to do things like that, anyways, enough of that, here's hoping everything gets sorted out, good luck K7.

i'm sorry the troubles your going thru my friend .... i hope all goes well for you
Depends on the country laws I guess. Some countries at least have restrictions or specific rules on how they go about their investigation. So if it is excessive or violates the person's rights they can in turn sue them and get compensation.
Killer7 Hope you get your stuff back asap and can put this thing behind you. You should definitely file complaint against the person who made the false charges once you're cleared. It's sad that you have to go through all this bullshit, but at least you don't live in a country where cops can just decide that your stuff were potentially going to be used in a crime and civil forfeiture it for themselves. Thankfully in Germany cops should at least be professional and you have rights that mean you should get your stuff back eventually.
Try your best to not let this overwhelm your mental state and continue to work with your lawyer, since you should be able to get some compensation once you've been cleared.
PS. I know it's easy to blame cops for everything, but they are just doing their job. The one who is to blame is the person who made the false accusations and falsified evidence to get them come after you.

I have been here since release #1. Where the update ended more or less right after the first night when you arrive at Becca's home and I make sure to replay this every update. I have read the latest update post and holy shit that is low and fucked up. Sorry for the language. I hope this resolves quickly. Now, I must say that I am NOT a lawyer and I certainly don't live in Europe. But this post tells me that the cops acquiesced your equipment under false allegations, "framing". It is late here and Harvard law is a tough read, but Germany does have an Exclusionary rule to search and seizures that *may* fall under this situation. Let me reiterate: I am tired, I am NOT a lawyer, and while I care for MNF, MNM, and you, Killer7, I also don't want to get your hopes up too much. Take care of yourself and take it one day at a time. I'll keep you in my thoughts and pray for you that all will be well.

Hello there you super amazing and very cute people out in the world
Another week, another progress update.
Well, after the post on saturday there is not that much to share sadly...You know what kind of situation I'm in right now. Sadly, I don't have any news to share regarding the shit I'm going through, so yeah.. It's the waiting game. Though I will call my lawyer again tomorrow and ask him if he already did something for me to speed the process up.
So, while I'm waiting to hear news about the external ssds that I DESPERATELY need, I want to say something to you amazing people. Reading all the comments and messages I received really helped me to not do something stupid. I have to admit, after this shit happened on wednesday I was in a very dark place in my mind...Just because everything is up in the air regarding My New Memories and my legal stuff in general. But yeah, like I said, it's the waiting game.
I was able to work a little on My New Family though and while working on a laptop kinda sucks, I can make it work. I'm currently also trying to figure out an alternative if the process really takes longer than I hope it does. But nothing concrete there, my biggest priority for now is to finish my new family and give it the ending it deserves. And maybe I'm just going to make it a little bigger after all, that wasn't my first intention but now that I don't really have another choice I might as well, right? Oh, todays render is just Elaine during a event on the fifth day.
And I think that's it for now, I will update you guys as soon as there are better news. Maybe I'll try to cook a Bethany and Sabrina render up, but I'm not sure on that yet. Like I said above, My New Family is the priority at the moment and at least I can work on that. Thank you guys again for all the amazing support and comments I received, really. I love you guys, you really prevent me from not going insane with this super fucked up situation. I'm so grateful for all the advices as well so if you have any advice ( if you live in Germany especially ) hit me up, in DMs. I read every single message I get.
Stay awesome!
I'm trying to wrap my head around this issue you are having. If you don't deal with crypto then what kind of evidence can they possibly have to justify the raid and seizure of your drives? And whoever accused you, wouldn't they have to have some sort of evidence to back up their claim? This situation makes no sense.
Once your cleared, I would most definately sue the prick that started this, hell I wouldn't care he has nothing, I'd find some measure of joy knowing the fuck will have nothing for the rest of his life. Hope you get it solved as quick as possible for your sake.

Before I go back to lurker mode, one more message. You are a BIG PELICAN (thanks lucy) for having those thoughts, but more importantly you are human Killer7. Allow me to recreate one of Alice's moms' message to her for you: "The Darkness may win for now, but the light will always return to save the day." You will always have the light with you Killer7; two of them: 1 in the community you have here in f95zone, and the second being in the community you have in your discord (I presume, not in it yet.). Take care of yourself first and foremost. We'll still be here, supporting you.

These days, cops are so dumb, they'll raid ppl based on anonymous calls with no evidence at all. I'm sure everyone here knows all about Twitch streamers getting raided as there's probably hundreds of videos on it.
Though, I will admit, a crypto scam is a new one. I didn't even know they could raid someone for a non-violent crime like that without at least having substantial hard evidence.
Sorry to hear about all the BS you're going through right now Killer7. I've been following this game for about 2 years and MNM since the beginning, so sad news to hear. However, I have faith that everything will work out for you in the end. For now I know it may seem that your world has kinda turned upside down, but I know you'll be absolved in the end. And I agree with everyone here, if the police got the complaint, they have to know where the complaint came from, so countersue the shit out of that asshole. Stay strong!!!
The cops are not the problem, Killer lives in Germany and here the cops are not allowed to raid someone without a permission from Jugdes (except of course their are lives in danger) and normally judges dont give permission without some sort of evedence. Well no one here knows what the guy told or show to the police so they can get a permission so dont blame always the cops
In German they say "Anfangsverdacht", the evidence they have is "pretty thin" according to my lawyer. Photo of a Screenshot of a unnknown phone, to be precise ( thats what was on the search warrant ). But yeah, police is only doing it's job, they have to follow up on these allegations and the cops have been "nice" during the raid. I'm not blaming them. All the blame will come back to the accuser, though. On the positive side, my lawyer send the request to get access to the case files out yesterday + the notice to check the external ssds first ( so I can return to working in DAZ ). Getting access to case files can take between 6 to 8 weeks on average, though, but if I get the ssds back it wouldn't be that big of a problem, since that means I can fully return back to work. For now it's the ( horrible ) waiting game regarding this case.
