I'm out of the loop. What happened this time?

A theory, but probably Empress wants to defame 1337x for "bundling cryptominers with torrents" so she can distract the community to not noticing that she will actually be the one to do such thing

Any evidence to this or just speculation? Empress is absolutely batshit fucking insane for sure, but so far we've got no reason to believe she's planning bundle cryptominers with cracked denuvo games as far as I can tell.

Just speculation, but Empress just generally gives me that tinfoil-hats-are-strongly-recommended vibes

I think fitgirl released a bunch of stuff awhile ago pertaining to potential malware in her cracks and her blackmailing anyone who speaks out against her.
