    Nothing like some Lake City Quiet Pills on a Friday evening 😤
  • @cmfontanes
    Bro if I was Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, etc I'd be FALLING OVER MYSELF trying to sign Nexpo to create and produce hour an long docuseries on mysteries exactly like this. If it ain't broke...
  • You know a group is up to some shady shit when they have a member called "Fat Tommy."
  • @sp4c3y
    theres nothing like a good hour long youtube documentary on some disturbing thing that happened ten years ago that you know literally nothing about to lift your spirits
  • There's no goddamn way Milo was really who he said he was. Born in 1930 and enlisted in the armed forces at age thirteen, fought in both World War II and the Vietnam War at some of the most famous and historically important battles of the century, but decides to retire from the military and retrain in his mid fifties to become a software engineer? That's already highly suspect. On top of that, he's somehow still employed at nearly eighty years old and yet has the time to converse with people on social media and moderate a subreddit created to host explicit images of underage girls, yeah fucking right. And of course he's a grizzled old war horse who is mean and ornery but has at least one friend in Angel Two Six who conveniently knows about his activities on Reddit and is willing to make an account just to tell everyone on his disgusting child pornography message board that he's passed away. The entire story absolutely reeks of fakery and bullshit. I also don't believe that any of these guys were secretly hitmen for hire or coordinated mercenaries. I believe they really wanted to be, but they were miserable maladjusted child-lovers who only felt comfortable among their own ranks. There's no way these losers were traveling around the world committing high profile assassinations.
  • I love how Milo's stories never really drew much skepticism despite being too cool to be real and, in some cases, physically impossible, yet the story that he'd died suddenly at 79 was what roused everyone's suspicions.
  • I cant believe people held this guy up as a sort of hero all the reddit posts ive seen say they loved this guy and he literaly posted cp what a horrible cess pool reddit is
  • @salteeth
    Without question, the most disturbing part of this whole thing is seeing "20 years ago" next to "2001"
  • @IDontBuyIt50
    I figured it out. Nexpo does so many of these videos that I have come to a realization. Any enduring mystery with no conclusion that originated on the internet was done by Nexpo, decades ago, in anticipation of making this Youtube channel and relating those very stories later. Well played Nexpo.
  • @kriza891
    Lets appretiate that this guy checked years of internet site history, reddit posts, went through fucking child phodn sites and even hired fucking private investigators to provide us with this one hour of content. Literally as high effort as it gets.
  • I don't think I've ever seen a side of YouTube grow so beautiful as the internet mystery side has. Like channels like nexpo and barely socialable and lemmino have gone from just explaining a story in decent detail to breaking them wide open with brand new research. It's just been a pleasure to see over the last few years
  • @chiz5913
    I cannot express how grateful I am that these “chapters” aren’t split into different videos and parts.
  • @sergioc.7910
    @ 14:17 "goddam. I didn't no (sic) so many people could like him that didn't sling a gun with him." <- That ridiculous statement has to be one of the cheesiest wannabe badass things I've heard since hearing Bruce Willis say "Yippee Ki Yay" in Die Hard.
  • I heard someone float the idea that Milo actually stands for military Information Liaison Officer. It's a position referenced in intelligence handbooks. The guy who took over for him has a name that is common military jargon in Britain as well (twosix).
  • @payableondeath7
    Considering how much of "milo"s online presence was either military stories or jailbait related, I assumed this was going to be a human trafficking story
  • @bsgfan1
    I did my own investigation awhile back. One thing you didn’t mention is that many of the archived photos also add extra layers of perplexity, some of which add to the strangeness of the story, given the context. 1. Locations - many of the pictures feature locations from around the world. On the surface, these look like tourist photos. However, the pictures aren’t of famous sites or typical travel features (landscape views, selfies, activities, etc.). Many of them are outside pictures of hotels and nondescript buildings, things that would otherwise be uninteresting to the average tourist. 2. Architecture - some of the pictures are odd, out of place photos of doors and windows, with no context or description. Others are of specific entry points with a particular focus on signs that denote the entry point as being alarmed. 3. The woman - There are several photos posted across different years that feature an Asian woman in various locations around the world. It is the same woman in all the pictures.
  • @Serjuh
    An interesting little detail is that "MILO" is a military acronym for "Military Intelligence Liaison Officer"
  • Seems like I’m in the minority here who had no idea this shit existed, which is fine by me because this was a wild ride. Fantastic video as always, excellent editing, awesome content, and fully engaging throughout the whole thing. Bravo again Nexpo, if I had the money to spare I’d chuck it all at you <3
  • The whole Milo death story sounds more like code to me as do his different characters. It reads like a movie script and I have to wonder if things like "gave his old scruffy cat to the little girl next door" is code for something, along with the birth and death dates. The cat thing and even Milo himself are such cliches and it's interesting that they take the time to mention giving "the cat" to the "next door neighbor" twice. Cue spoopy spy music.

    Dunno if somebody else already explained it, but I think the 43:30 "Email Contacts" link is a classic spam trap. Basically, the site would be set up so that it'd produce an infinite number of those pages of fake e-mail addresses, so that spambots trawling the web (and unable to notice the text "Don't use these") would endlessly add the fake addresses to their database and crash.
