Is there any new news here, that wasn’t already going around last August?

We had a thread from Aug. 31 to Sept. 8 last year asking:

> [@Q of QAnon has supposedly been found. Is he in legal trouble?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/q-of-qanon-has-supposedly-been-found-is-he-in-legal-trouble/919487):
>
> Q of QAnon infamy has been doxxed. From what I’ve read the evidence is very compelling. I will not repeat the name here or post a link on the off chance that the person is not in fact Q. My question is if the personed outed is in fact Q, are they in legal trouble? Either criminal or civil? You have to figure that if Alex Jones can get sued civilly that Q has to be in a similar boat, right? Is anybody aware of any criminals laws that may have been broken by Q?

(The suspected perp, Watkins pére, was named elsewhere in that thread.)

The thread quickly drifted away from the question “Is he in any legal trouble?” and more toward a discussion of what information Q might actually have access to anyway.

The consensus of the thread seemed to be: “No, probably not in any legal trouble” and “No access to much (and probably not any) sensitive information anyway”.
