I can only say I'm disappointed in your decision.

Not many that come to mind as being banned - other than Curtis G ... and Jonny GVH... was mwiscool thrown in that too? Hard beating that group, but each is a different sort of issue.

Anyone recall who else he tried exploiting the the TL;DR mess / loss the exploit he tried caused? Just so those not fresh of mind get refreshed and those unaware until now know.

It has been nearly 2 years since the Ramnode + Solus exploit. June 2013... No wonder why the matter seems so foggy in my brain.

Skimming we see Clarke was finger pointed as the bad guy. I think @Nick_A matched the IP in logs - I mean expecting they weren't spoofed or anything... I have no clue there.
Solus had to patch another self inflicted bug.
Providers rightly hard reacted - offlined panels.
But I don't recall others that were exploited--- not saying folks weren't...
And I see BuyVM had someone try the exploit against them which is funny since no Solus in that shop.

Yeah, he tried it on us. Positive IP match from his prior logins as a client. Fabozzi confirmed the same IP trying to pull the exploit on CVPS as well.

Back to the speculation on who the f*cktard was who was dumb enough to buy this festering pile of sh*t...
BlueVM Communications LLC finally filed their periodic report on January 1st and changed their official office address from Colorado to Maryland.

Feathur LLC's corporate status has been delinquent since March 1st:

It's important to remember that BlueVM and Feathur are separate companies: i.e. BlueVM doesn't own the IP rights to Feathur

The address doesn't seem to imply much as it matches the Org/POC with ARIN for Justin late last year: http://whois.arin.net/rest/org/JJ-29/pft
Unless of course the address matches someone new and they're just keeping the old name. Address is clearly residential though.

I'm curious, what did he do?

The genration9 gmail address on that POC brings back memories of when he was calling himself Nicholas Johnston and in a partnership with Yomura Ltd (the parent of Delimiter): co-developing a billing panel called Apenex and running a low end provider called SitePenguin until (he claimed) Yomura screwed him on both ventures

As for the others, lets try to keep this on topic. Feel free to express unrelated concerns in a different thread.

Which references this at ARIN:
Ref: http://whois.arin.net/rest/org/JJ-29
(safe link matching Justin to the address via ARIN)
Now if you go to site above without peeking in Googles cached stash, you will note, Justin's info has been scoured and the IP / range is now labeled as just ColoCrossing:

Popular website someone has there. Especially popular in Bangladesh.

...and on that note, a message from BlueVM support posted tonight on LET: bye bye Feathur.

Well, that more or less confirmed that Justin isn't part of any of the brands anymore.
I feel really bad for their dev team to have to try to convert the DB to whatever system they want to move to.

It's Solus. What else do all these shops run. That's where BlueVM customers formerly stricken by Feathur are going.
Unsure how they are going to pull that off though. Containers should be standard and all, but will have to somehow setup each account in Solus and get Solus grabbing the right container. Doesn't sound like a non technical, administrative task to be accomplished in 15 minutes.
As I pointed out prior on the BlueVM site - the ownership / staff page was always a signal of things at BlueVM.
March 30, 2014 = staff/ownership on this page https://web.archive.org/web/20140330181046/https://www.bluevm.com/about.php
July 1, 2014 = staff / ownership all purged --> https://web.archive.org/web/20140701111550/https://www.bluevm.com/about.php
Somewhere in vpsB is a thread where Justin and I slapped about that page and he neartime injected his details again. But as of July 1, 2014, all humans were scraped clean from that page. Some of us noticed back then, but beating the inevitably dead dog wasn't really fun.
TL;DR = Justin long ago sold BlueVM. 2013. To the usual suspects. He was lingering as person in charge to get his payout monthly. He has since migrated to Maryland for a real job.

Honestly, given how many VPS nodes CC/CVPS has you'd think they'd just hit up Virtualizor for a deep volume discount. Between them all they must easily have 300+ VPS nodes for the direct brands alone.
I'm pretty sure Chris is still uneasy about any sort of end-user SolusVM access given how badly he got screwed twice now. The ModuleGarden WHMCS module exists but.... yeah. I think that's what he's using right now so if anything he'll probably use it for BlueVM.

ModuleGarden modules... Bahaha, that's worse than Solus on problems. Won't catch me recommending their stuff to others. Already have seen their mess making elsewhere.
CVPS being on with Solus is funny considering that long-term spat of non-pay on licenses. That spat it appears they remedied somehow.
In fairness after being dinged multiple times due to Solus, he has to be crazy sticking with Solus. Real lucky they weren't dinged a third time during unlicensed phase which went on a very long time.
Virtualizor does have that NOC licensing. Mere 10 servers to qualify:

Dealing with Softaculous support makes a person appreciate SolusVM support
