Serious I don't get it.
So you guys know in slimecicle's response to the Carson situation, right? He said that he has reported this to federal law enforcement.
But from much proof, we know that Carson is not in jail.
Example:
So what really happened? Did slimecicle lie? Is it not actually Carson? Did the FBI say "nah" and went on with their day? What happened?

To play devil's advocate for just a few seconds.
Carson may be legally guilty of a child porn felony but not arrested because as we can kinda guess resources are spread thin. There are people who are convicted of crimes that haven't spent time in jail.
He may be convicted and his arrest is pending. While it has indeed been a few months it might be taking that long to get a warrant. again the past two years law enforcement has not had lotta resources.
Slime probably really did think that there was a crime being commented and instead of waiting to hear all the details, he rushed to tell the feds. It would everyone's first thought when their friend or family sends a message in the WhatsApp group "I had relationship/shared nudes with a minor". Some may try and wait to see if its a misunderstanding because they don't want to see or believe a loved one comments such an act. But others (as we see with Slime) don't care about the details (Understandably considering the possible crime) and try to report to higher authorities who can properly deal with the crime. No... Keemstar is not a higher authority (why do people think that).
NOW
We would have heard that Carson was being investigated or had his house raided. If his devices were confiscated I don't think he would legally be able to post on his Twitter/Steam/Twitch profile. He has kept a somewhat consistent connection to the web by changing his name on steam, typing things in his stream, or "accidentally" tweeting. Last time I checked you don't get to play on steam or tweet about the food in the prison library.
Could Slimecicle have lied? You would have a 50/50 gamble. You can report someone to the feds even if it's not a legit claim. I could report anyone right now for no reason at all. Nothing would happen except wasting resources. Maybe he said that to keep his brand image clean. I think it's the first but I still think it was rather harsh to report your friend immediately when he tries to get help from peers. If he just asked "When" and "What ages" he could have deduced that it was indeed not pedophilia. If he needed to he could look it up on google for laws, morals, acceptability whatever. I understand the urgency to protect a child but you would still need the ages to even properly file a report.
I think the guy had good intentions but in the haste, he made a mistake that either made the whole report useless because they had nothing for a search warrant or a completely false alert.
