Or, as the regulars on my board call him, "PedoTaz".

(Sorry if you get 503s when trying to visit TGFB.)
I'm sure the poster by the name of "Edd Dobbs" will be along shortly in order to provide more evidence and sum things up far better than I could.
But for now, here's the two most damning comments Betawolf's made about himself.

So...yeah.

I think given all the information that's come up in or as a result of the recently leaked notes will certainly give this sick fuck a hard time finding anyone still willing to draw for him. Well, anyone who isn't complete shit or pants on head retarded, anyway.
Still, it is amusing watching him twist in the wind. https://inkbunny.net/journalview.php?id=4782

Bastard's had this coming for way too long.

Thing is, as pedophiles go, Richard Helms is easily among the most pathetic and the least intelligent I've ever seen among the furry crowd. He's nothing compared to say, Crassus.
I think my favorite non-leak post from him that I've seen so far is quoted here (http://dammitfreehaven.com/hugbox/res/9317.html#i9389):
Do also realize many of the notes have been paraphrased, taken out of context, and actually edited though, so don't believe everything you read there . . . and maybe that's something you could forward to your fans if this whole drama deal is causing you trouble. Anybody who thinks Lulz is a credible source for information is easily impressionable and likely trolls and haters themselves. The notes on FA have been deleted though, entirely, so you don't have to worry about them.
Notes edited to make you look bad, huh? That would actually require that the hacker actually gave enough of a shit to go and do it.
Yeah, that's real likely chief.
-
Also, I gotta say that I'm still a firm believer in letting people keep Bad Shit on paper and not giving them shit for it as long as it stays on paper, but GODDAMN:
Woah. So, Sharue's ftp stuff just got dumped.
Long story short, there's some sick, disturbing stuff in there, including two folders named "FMB" and "SNB", apparently meaning "Fuck My Brat" and "Snuff My Brat" respectively. This matches with the mentions in the notes of "FuckMyBrat.com", which seems to be a fictional website the drawings are supposed to be "photos" from, or something along those lines.
It's pretty easy to guess what's in the folders, if you don't care to look (and I wouldn't blame you). The SMB stuff seems to revolve around sadistic and resentful parents killing their children in a variety of horrible ways (including suffocation and parental vore).
Didn't somebody mention Sharue had kids? The notes and things I've been hearing around make it look like these are pictures she was happy to pass around to a small circle of likeminded friends, including, of course, PedoTaz.
Also the facehugger portfolio was dumped. By comparison it's merely creepy.
I haven't kept up on Sharue-related developments. Either this is a creepy person who could be a danger to her child, or someone who could be in danger of losing her child because her under-control creepy shit has been made public and could wind up in the hands of the wrong people. Either scenario, frankly, sucks.
-

Yeah, that's real likely chief.
Keep in mind, that would have required the FuriLeakers to have created hundreds of notes from both Betawolf and other users (including Dragoneer).
Anyone who can delude themselves into believing that all those notes are fake/altered/whatever is pants-on-head retarded.
-
Looking at that thread, it's kind of funny/sad/depressing how shocked some people are that Sinistrtaz got so many artists to draw porn for him by stuffing benjamins in their faces. Furry artists are not the kind of people that are guaranteed to be mentally and/or financially stable. Some of them really needed that money. There's even a few of the artists who got involved straight-up coming out and saying this.
I suppose this could be a part of what makes Richie here worthy of discussion - that he was heavily manipulative and would use peer pressure to get people to draw stuff that made them uncomfortable. It's somewhat reminiscent of what happened with DickBitchMolly (https://forums.vivisector.org/index.php/topic,422.0.html). But the idea of making up a list of people who Sinistrtaz may have approached or may have drawn SECRET PORNO for him doesn't necessarily strike me as the best thing to do.

Yea that is just a fucking stupid excuse. If you had sent a note/trouble ticket to any one of the person's who had their notes leaked, and looked up your username in the files, the notes you sent would be there. That's pretty goddamn good proof to me.
There was one guy who kept telling me the notes were "photoshopped" (yes, photoshopped .html files), and it basically came down to this: either the notes are real .html dumps OR the hackers coded the .html files up...using real notes.
As for Betawolf, I really never gave a shit enough to really keep up with his bullshit, but goddamn some of those notes. I don't really feel bad for the people he commissioned but him going HEH I GOT SECRET CUB PORNOS is kind of funny.
-
Well, I'm here. Originally I was just attempting to sign up to see if you guys were interested in a write up on this, for an article, but I'll answer any questions I can.
Summary of the situation (based on a letter I'm writing to the Inkbunny admins):
Betawolf's notes were leaked. Leak reveals:
*Straight admissions to being a pedophile and creepy musings on the subject by PedoTaz (he thinks parents should have sex with their children for the sake of sex-ed).
*Attempts to coerce artists into A)drawing cub pornography for him against their preferences or B)giving him special treatment, by a variety of suspect methods including heavy cajoling, preying on artists in desperate financial situations, (partially-faked) peer pressure and misrepresentation of other artists (telling people that folks like Elton Portilho and Jilo were drawing cub porn for him when they weren't and had very strongly indicated that they would not do so).
*Betrayal of the trust of certain artists who did not want to be named as drawing cub pornography (basically they drew it for him on the condition that he not tell anyone - then he turned around and used their names to peer-pressure other artists).
*A tendency to intimidate others with empty threats in order to get his way (he did this to Jessica Elwood and Niis, IIRC).
*Claims of a certain level of intentional trolling of his haters. He sees himself as some sort of crusader for truth and freedom (ironically labelling himself a "shock-jock" while using the exact same term to disparage Freehaven), or at least that's how he represents himself to some people. To those who are more aligned with his own personality, though, he acts as though it's really mostly about getting stacks and stacks of extreme cub porn.
*He seems to be falsifying his identity to some degree. Either he's lying about his age and name and is really a sixty-or-so-year-old man, or he's pretending to be the owner/operator of an engineering firm in order to appear sucessful to other people.
*From what I understand, he seems to have blackmailed at least one artist who drew cub art (illegal in their country) for him by threatening to reveal it if they didn't finish up their commissions (they were procrastinating because they didn't really want to draw cub stuff for him, having originally gotten into this situation via financial desperation). Said artist's name was revealed in the original list posted to dammit (not by me, I just refined it and maintain it), and they came forward and clarified the situation, simultaneously clearing their name and removing PedoTaz's hold over them.
The list of names itself is now mostly about pointing out to artists that we have half the story and would now like their side of things. As more and more come forward, they are helping to paint the story of PedoTaz's behaviour, as above. Most of them seem to have been people in desperate situations who were cosying up to a large wallet. I'd eventually like to get most of them into the "cleared by affadavit" section, but I feel there are a couple of people in there who are just a little too much like Pedotaz himself to be shifted out of the "pedo pile".
-
I knew about him saying he would look at actual child porn if he felt comfortable he could get away with it, but, I never heard about him saying parents should screw their kids. Is there an archive of screenshots of more of the memorable notes? I've only seen a few.
Anyway, I would really suggest gathering screenshots and precise evidence of his mistreatment of artists and other critical issues, and linking that in your petition, so the staff can easily see with minimal effort you're telling the truth and he really is a bad guy. Just stating what he said and why you hate him may well not be enough. It would also help to have artists themselves PM Jery/Starling on IB or at least on FA, though the posts from multiple artists who came forward on TGFB should be compelling evidence. On top of placing clear evidence and explanations in their faces, I would suggest if possible the person or people delivering the message were not obviously anti-cub porn, just to not hurt the chances of success. In fact, if Inuki and other cub-affiliated people confirm or present this to Jery, it would be even better. Given the nature of Softpaw and how drastically Betawolf's commissions deviate from it, I'm not sure if getting into his artwork preferences would hurt or help the chances with Jery.
Anyway, this Betawolf is a real piece of work, and I'm eager to see how Jery will react to a good, solid letter and body of evidence. Good luck with the effort.

If there's any FuriLeaks archives still floating around, Betawolf's notes are a part of those. It wouldn't be hard to search through them and take screenshots.
As for the incest bit:
(http://i.imgur.com/QZ8Uc.jpg)
EDIT: Edd, rodox, whomever else is out there - if you guys want, I can compile a number of the juciest and fucked-up quotes, compile all the information about his behaviour, grab some screencaps, and put together an article for the front page.

Oh Freehaven, you truly DO have lols and dongs, wholesale. <3

I do what I can with what I'm given.

That'd be cool, Freehaven.
I'm still working on the letter draft, BTW. If you can get that article up, then we might be able to use it as a reference in the letter.

This is fucking stupid. What you should be focusing on is Richard Fucking Helms being creepy and potentially dangerous, not finding people who didn't need to be coerced into drawing his fucked-up fantasies. THEY were not the ones who expressed interest in obtaining real child pornography, HE is.
-
We're certainly focusing on PedoTaz. I took a break from the letter today to search a few more keywords in the notes, and there's some incredibly creepy shit in there. I see that after Sunkra gave PedoTaz his fetus rape fetish, he started trying to commission it from everybody.
I go pretty dark. Yes, I even do sadistic acts with cubs in some of my writing, but sharing it online . . . yeah, some people have their limits, and I already piss the FA admin off with what I post (they take personal offense against me). So, keeping to The Madness, no violence, not even vaginal bleeding. However, I want to go younger with the extra character's we're adding to the story. Infants and toddlers, and if you want to, maybe a pregnant mother's fetus getting fucked in the womb and/or having a fetus pulled out and screwed while still attached to the mother via umbilical cord. The fetus' should still be like seven to nine months developed. I think that's about as evil as you can get without torturing/killing the kids. To be honest, I'd prefer having a personal secret version of the story between you and
I, and an edited version without the babies/fetus' for my fans.
There's loads more of that, but most of it's even more graphic than that description.
I'm not actually posting any of these recent story commissions that I've requested. I mostly intend for them to be private amongst my rl friends off the internet, since most of the people I know have a dark side. They may not even jack off to a story like this, just read it with an evil smile=) Usually the stuff I commission inspires them to write for me too. I'm kind of used to people feeding off of my ideas, especially in the last year. I've been called "the dark band of the rainbow" on FA more than once.
Well, would you be interested in reading some material like this that's already been done, since we're not worrying about payment or trading? I have a couple stories that, along these lines, I think are pretty hot, but maybe it's not your cup of tea. One is furry and everybody gets killed on top of being raped (very graphic), the other involves humans but is so ridiculously over the top it has no bearing on reality whatsoever (and is unfinished, but still long, and not violent). They may help you write the current story. I have a few cub stories that are pretty intense that don't get into infants or anything that are pretty dark, but they involve death too. I can give you a pile of stories for inspiration/trade material if you'd like, stuff I know you haven't read. Just pass me your email and I'll send them.
There was also a link to PedoTaz's account on a Russian file sharing forum ("onegai.kabb.ru". Yes, he browses and downloads paid stuff for free even though he whinges about other people doing the same thing) complete with his password and username, but the forum itself seems to be down.
I also found something interesting in the middle of a spiel on sexuality:
"If you want to fuck animals, whatever floats your boat, as long as you're not hurting them or forcing them to do it."
And we already know he's into bestiality pics and that he owns a menagerie (or says he does).
There's also a bit where he tries to get Max Blackrabbit to hire him to write stories for... FAD, I think? I don't think it went anywhere, though.
Apparently "The Madness" was originally based on a roleplay session PedoTaz had with someone named "Omegawolf", which makes his assertions that it was merely to shock people even more ludicrous.

Just reading the generals of what he wants, even in that first quote of his where he says they're no violence, is enough to make cringe. I mean... *shudders*. In any event, IB doesn't ban any content, so presenting his commissions as evidence would only work if the staff (or at least Jery) would be so horrified by what he has had drawn that they can't help but hate him.

I'm not sure how well this will work as evidence, given the InkBunny Philosophy page. They seem to be dismissive of the threat of piracy. If these are paid sites, especially if the artists in question are on IB, they might have more sympathy. I guess that part's worth a shot.
"If you want to fuck animals, whatever floats your boat, as long as you're not hurting them or forcing them to do it."
I doubt this would do any good with regards to getting him banned. He's just admitting he doesn't mind zoophiles, and in some areas it's actually not illegal to screw an animal.

Yeah, I doubt anyone believes he commissions this stuff JUST to shock people.
-
Oh, I wasn't waving any of that around as evidence (except possibly the bestiality thing, since he's already known to be keen on the subject and has a truckload of animals on his property). Just thought you guys might be interested.
I think the pedophilia admissions, the lies, the identity fraud, the manipulation and all that are good enough to start with. Still keywording, though. Never know what I might find.
In fact, anyone care to give me the names of any previous fandom pedos I should search for? If he was pally with any of them...
-
Inkbunny is (hopefully) very keen on not repeating any of FurAffinity's mistakes. They're not going to ban someone for being "a disgrace to the subculture" or whatever, because we all know how that shit turned out.
You're going to have to focus exclusively on shady shit Sinistrtaz has done on Inkbunny if you want them to give a crap.
-
What rodox_video said. We're not particularly interested in people's lives outside Inkbunny. Indeed, the most likely result of a campaign of harassment is that the harassers get banned. Take your drama elsewhere, please.
-

I've already told Freehaven this, but if you're actually serious about trying to see if Sinistrtaz has any connection to any real pedophiles, this (http://www.pjfi.org) is a better place to go for help.

So you don't think they'll be interested in any shady shit from the FA note leak, then?

I was talking well known people; the people I was referring to in the first post are the ones who share views with him, like Rach.
-
So you don't think they'll be interested in any shady shit from the FA note leak, then?
Why the fuck should they?
-
Because it shows he has a confirmable history of lying to, intimidating, blackmailing and misrepresenting artists on his previous home-base art site?
Not to mention the pedophilia stuff.
-
Let me put it this way. Let's say EbonLupus sets up fucking shop on Inkbunny TOMORROW. You know what I'd do? I wouldn't raise a big fucking stink. What I would do INSTEAD is keep a close eye on him.
Because that's all you can do with people like this. All you can do without fucking shit up.
-
Hmm. I'd do that, certainly, but I'd also send a factual and informative yet politely-worded missive to the owners of the site in question.
That way, they know as much as possible about the person who has entered their area of influence, in the event that they decide to keep their own specific close eye on said person from their unique vantage point.
-
And risk what happened with Piche happening again? No no no. Unless you know and trust the site owners PERSONALLY, that is a shit idea.

PedoTaz says goodbye on Inkbunny.
Official: leaving the fandom =p
Yep, I'm out. I will finish uploading my gallery to Ink Bunny, then give the artwork to one of my friends to continue to post elsewhere, and then delete everything from this account. No paysite either, I'll just keep my secret stash to myself. I never planned on making money from the paysite either, just hope it would help pay for more commissions . . . but I've spent too much money on commissions in the last five years. Need to quit, move onto other things.
The main reason I'm leaving? Professional. I don't have time, money, energy or interest for the fandom anymore. My interest has been dying over the last two years . . . maybe starting with The Madness when that project started falling apart. Artists are getting more and more difficult to work with, and I spend more time manipulating them to do what I want than it's worth. To my critics . . . you're right, I should have just kept my opinions to myself, and quit trying to be such a manipulative smart ass. I was being naive and just having fun, trying to get people to loosen up and not take stupid, trivial things so seriously, but like I said, I was naive to think I could maintain such a high profile and keep it fun. Being popular in the furry fandom is nothing to brag about, and it certainly isn't worth investing in when you're like me and have so many other things going well in your life that need attention.
I know my critics will assume I'll come back under a different screen name . . . but even if I did, I would take such a drastic new approach to the fandom that you wouldn't recognize me anyways. Not worth it. Like with FA, I'd rather walk away than conform. So . . . this is me walking away. Done it many times in my life, with much more important things.
I will stick around long enough to get my gallery posted, and it will stay up for a while, so I can transition it to Sherlykaru's page so people can still look at it=) I really like how Sherlykaru took on The Madness project and moved it forward, so I'll trust her with my artwork, and she will have rights over my characters as well if she'd like to use them. I may toss her money from time to time to work on her own projects, and inasmuch that will be the only interactions I have with the fandom directly.
I'm sorry for my fans and friends I'm leaving behind. I'm not a social networking fan though, and while the furry fandom held my interest for a while and gave me the inspiration to explore the internet a bit more, I didn't like what I found in the end, for the most part. Rampant immaturity, lies and deceit (quite often concerning age and social status), superficial and shallow interpersonal connections, and hackers haters and trolls (oh my). Na, I'm going to take a more indirect approach to the internet. Stay a casual observer and keep to myself.
Overall, real life is tugging at me so drastically it has peeled me away from the internet. It's not bad stuff happening irl, it's good . . . and much better than anything the web has to offer. Sorry for pulling a disappearing act on my fans and friends, but it should have been obvious that I've been severing the connection for a while now. Ever since The Madness hit a bump in the road, compounded with other things, I've been getting more distant and less interested. I had a pile of promising projects to work on that I hoped would inspire me to stay, but all other factors aside, I have found better things to spend my money on=p Yikes, if I could have back all the money I spent on commissions . . .
Anyways, the main purpose of this journal is to officially set a break-off point where I can say the furry fandom was in my past, and I'm moving forward. I need this for me more than anything else. Since the fandom has never been something I'd brag about irl, I don't want it to be something I have to 'hide' anymore either. There are SOOOO many reasons to leave and move forward . . . yeah, I didn't even really want to post a journal saying goodbye to be honest. I considered just leaving abruptly and without warning, but I didn't think that would be fair to my fans.
I will not be replying to comments on this journal. If you feel some need to contact me, do so via notes. Please, no pleas for me to stay, no queries about projects I was working on, and no harassment. At this point, that kind of stuff will be falling on deaf ears.
Goodbye everybody, it was fun while it lasted, and thanks for the memories! Sad to go, but necessary.
-
And risk what happened with Piche happening again? No no no. Unless you know and trust the site owners PERSONALLY, that is a shit idea.
It's kind of a moot point now (and will continue to be so as long as he stays gone), but what would they tell him? "Hey, your notes have been leaked and the guys at Freehaven's board have it in for you!"? Those aren't exactly secrets.
-
Just when we all thought Betawolf had finally left for good, FA's TravarisRhade posts a threatening email sent to him by PedoTaz in regards to a commission situation. (http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2321588/)
-
Easy Order Of Events;
Pandy Need Money > Rhade Holds Comic Auction > Betawolf Wins Auction> Commissions Rape Comic > Rhade injured life and shitty> Rhade Finish comic > Rhade says when he has time he will add extra page and a discount on a future commission for the wait > Sherly Contacts rhade "pushing for free work promised to be done" > Rhade says priorties means you will have to wait> Betawolf threatens rhade> Rhade laughs and says... bring it.
So there's this fucker whom a year and a half ago won an auction I held to pay to keep lavenderpandy in school. Betawolf won this and asked for a peculiar comic. Now this comic was about a woman jogging and then being raped. He asked me to keep this from the public eye and I did, now before this commission I didn't know who this guy was, though a rape commission like this where you ask me to draw the lady crying and all that, that shit... that shits weird. But since it wasn't technically against anything I wont draw as you know pixel rape doesn't really bother me, aint vore, the guy wasn't some pedo raping a kid or whatever. Disturbed the shit out of my partner who helped with it, but we like whatever. I get into my shit beginning of 2010 and everyone knows how that was and we dont finish this comic until october 2010 year.
Now though done with his commission, I said i'd add a page to it and, give him one free character on a commission if he got one when i reopened in january. Anyone around can tell i aint reopened commissions yet this year. Told him I expected to be ready to work back on it in January, with my partners brother dying over the christmas break and myself dealing with a few more things didn't happen. Now this is free work I promised, out of sense of duty to my commissioner not cause at this point I owed him shit. But still its free art dont mean you can jap off on me if it aint done in the time you want it or got to in a certain amount of time. Listen i respectfully told you, that it will have to wait. I promised other people that once I got my surgery I'd work hard on what they been waiting on. I'll get to you with this FREE work when I can.. I can't justify making them wait longer for you!
So after talking to his proxy Sherly Karu whom talks and takes commissions for him so he can not deal with the fandom after being run out of here, I get a message about it and I've kept all the logs. Basically saying I'll get to it while I can. I have priorties, because the longer i wait, the more of these sort of things i may be COMPELLED, to do. So, I'm and anyone who knows the body of work being put up since my eye surgery, knows, I been working my ass off. But... check the e-mail he sent me.
snistrtaz[at]hotmail.com
I really don't like you pushing back and Sherlykaru and I simply because we asked for an update, and are trying to seek resolution on an issue that you conveniently ignored. I've been friendly and patient, treated you with compassion and respect . . . for what? The whole reason you've even been able to let this project go on for so long is because I've respected that you've been sick, I respected you need to pay medical bills and take new commissions, and I've respected your wishes on contact/communication. IM is a HORRIBLE program to conduct business over, especially YIM (I cannot copy and paste the messages or save them in any form). So, threats that you refuse to do email/note tag with me? Putting your foot down and telling me what I am entitled to or not?
*sighs*
Haven't you learned ANYTHING working with me? Making me angry doesn't get you anywhere. If you want to toss egoes around, I have more money than anyone in the fandom, even Bernal. When you're playing poker with someone, and one guy has twice the chips you have, you're going to lose. You can't win with me. I feel like threatening you right now. I actually feel like skipping the threats and just attacking you, like I did with Steve Martin, Jessica Elwood, Briona Campbell, Bonk, and others. I know all of the dirty little secrets artists have, like not paying taxes on the money they make from their artwork, and that most of them can't afford legal fees. I notify the IRS about business conducted, or just have my attorney send you a couple legal letters, or contact PayPal or you bank directly . . . boom, it all goes away.
. . . so why are you poking me, pushing back like you're trying to enforce your ego?
I'm not even going to vindicate myself to you, based on your IM responses or what you told Sherlykaru. I cannot afford to spend anymore time or effort chasing you anymore. You owe me a comic page and a full character commission on principal alone, and that's enough for me to feel insulted if you refuse me. That 'gift' artwork has value to you, bought you things with me, and isn't just 'free'. And dude, I know you promised me a free commission in January, not a discount on a two character image. Prove me wrong? If you do not complete both these project within 60 days of this email being sent to you, I'm not going to threaten you, I'm just going to move. At that time you'll have proved that, on principal, you do not deserve to conduct business in this fandom and you have simply taken advantage of my good nature all along, and I will start notifying authorities and those you conduct business with about your behavior. If you fulfill these two owed commissions, I will forgive and forget all that has been done and move on (suffice to say we will not conduct business any further). I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself here, rather than just using the 'stick' that I know works.
It's too bad you decided to burn this bridge in any case, as I do not wish to do business with you any longer. You seem to have formed the opinion that my reputation in the fandom has hurt you, which I think is a cheap shot (it wasn't an issue when you took and kept my money). Unfortunately . . . you've also disregarded my reputation for being a hard-liner who calls peoples' bluffs. I've kicked some of the most popular artists out of the fandom before. I really don't know why you decided to fight this battle and make me get 'hard' with you. Is it desperation? I know you're hard up for money, due to health issues, but if you cannot finish commissions because you're over-extending yourself out of desperation, maybe you should quit hurting people by doing bad business with them and just leave the fandom? In any case, you need an attitude adjustment, seriously. Man . . . I couldn't have tried harder to be nice, friendly, and respectful with you, and it's been a waste of my time.
Simply put, paid what is OWED or I will expose you to everyone you've been hiding from, and extract damages from you for my wasted time and patience. I will even temporarily come back to the fandom to do this=p You are the very last bit of bad baggage I have to deal with before I'm truly free of the fandom, and while it would be easier for me to forget you rather than spend all this time and effort chasing you, I'm operating on principal, not money. I think you should start doing the same.
60 days to complete two commissions to be free of me, or fight me with your ego because you don't feel like I'm entitled to something you promised as a peace offering. I can't guess which one you'll chose, but I'm ready for either decision. You don't even have to reply back to this email, your actions will speak much louder than your words.

God reading that made my head hurt.
And Mister Betawolf seems pretty sure of his superiority, and yet...
At that time you'll have proved that, on principal
He does this a couple of times. Granted, that's not that bad, but make a glaring mistake like that and few things make you look dumber.
I have more money than anyone in the fandom, even Bernal. When you're playing poker with someone, and one guy has twice the chips you have, you're going to lose.
If there's a better mark of a man's character than seeing life as a poker game, I certainly don't know what it is. Somehow reading the rest of that paragraph that Simpsons episode comes to mind, where there's an old B&W horror movie at a drive-in and these English schoolchildren chant, "We know all your secrets".

Betawolf has a lot of money, and big delusions of grandeur to go along with it. I remember reading in notes about how he brags about how expertly manipulative he is, when really all he does is flash cash, which anyone well off enough can do.
Who's this Sherlykaru or whatever person he seems to have working on his behalf, though? I wonder what's their deal and why they work as beta's avatar. Does Beta pay them to get commissions for artists on his behalf?

As far as I know, Sherly is Beta's "go-between" when it comes to artists on FA (Helms left FA after the cub porn ban came down; I'm sure Furileaks helped him along, too). I have no idea if Sherly shares the same "tastes" that Beta does, but I doubt that PedoTaz would work with anyone who didn't.
