I know this sounds strange. This could be totally innocent, but I’m bringing it to people’s attention.

Whenever I use new software from Github I try to learn a bit about the coders.

In the case of Memmy, according to Github, it’s Gavin Kasdorf.

When I signed up for the IOS Testflight it said that the creator was Gavin Casdorph. Strange, I thought and looked up that name. That’s what led me to this Anchorage Daily News article and one from the Philadelphia Inquirer. An Alaska man who threatened to detonate bombs at Lafayette College in 2018, and pledged allegiance to ISIS. It’s not a common name so seemed strange

When the app was finally released on iTunes it contained the name Gavin Casdorph, again, in the listing (check on the cached Google results page).

But now when you check the iTunes Gavin’s name is gone, and it’s listed as Culivio LLC. Are they trying to hide something?

This all seems suspicious, and before I trust the app I was wondering if anyone knew the real story behind this. Is this the same person? Why the differing names in the Itunes store and on Github?

    Firstly, it’s a bit suspicious that your name is only a few minutes old. Secondly, I hope you live in a society that understands innocent before proven guilty, because all you’re doing is insinuating to damage someone’s reputation.

    You haven’t proven anything, that last name coincidence is nothing. These are different last names. You’re damaging an individual’s reputation without any substantial evidence.
