On behalf of /r/SquaredCircle, I would like to thank the community for allowing us some time to address this situation in an official capacity. I understand that this has been confusing for fans of /u/FalconArrow and that people want answers. That being said, I am going to be as transparent as possible when it comes to what may or may not have happened yesterday evening. Please keep in mind that everything I said in my stickied comment about the alt account remains true.

Over the course of the past 10 months, /u/FalconArrow and I have communicated directly and quite regularly, independent of the other moderators and Reddit. Over time, these conversations became more and more frequent – the bulk of which would be him teasing something and me asking what it was, to which he was always willing to answer.

Falcon told me on Friday that he would like to do an AMAA in the midst of us talking about the Frank The Clown debacle. I asked him if I could announce it, but in the course of the craziness of WrestleMania, I was unable to do so. Falcon announced it himself and I posted a distinguished comment about what the AMAA would and would not be.

My original understanding was that Falcon wanted to talk wrestling, not spoilers. I surely did not expect him to be as open as he was yesterday based off our previous conversation. Around 5:30 ET yesterday, Falcon reached out to me and told me that he was being threatened on social media – somehow his identity had been compromised.

Falcon chose to engage with this accuser, and this would lead to the accuser sending a screenshot of Falcon’s verification modmail to him – Falcon suggested that our modmail had been compromised, and I recommended that he stop the AMAA and sink into the shadows for a bit.

He was adamant that there had been a breach on our end and chose to delete his account; I walked him through the steps. In the interest of full disclosure, as the conversation went on, I told Falcon that I found this all to be very unlikely, and I suggested that he was messing with me.

It should be noted that Falcon was understandably pissed off about this, but this was AFTER he made the decision to delete his account. He accused me of attacking him for a leak that was our fault, which unfortunately we have NO WAY of proving.

So, here we stand, in a post /u/FalconArrow era – one in which it is tough to say with certainty what transpired. All I can say for sure is that someone found out who Falcon was, and that is why he deleted his account. Was our mod mail compromised? Falcon assures us that there was no way his account was compromised, as he regularly changes his password (once a week). Again, we have no way of being certain at this point, and we will continue to investigate what happened.

Once again, we appreciate your patience as we look into this matter and I will keep everyone posted on new developments if they are necessary. But chances are, we will likely never know what happened for sure other than the fact that Falcon was threatened and as a result his account was deleted.

This thread will be marked with edits if/when any new information is available.

Shame. It was funny seeing people question whether or not he was an insider constantly when he would routinely drop hints on what was going to happen on Raw/PPV and be right 99% of the time. Including last night.

Probably gonna be fired now that somebody's figured out who he was.
