Executive Summary

THIS ARTICLE SERVES AS A "BURN NOTICE" FOR THE INDIVIDUAL KNOWN AS BRANDON MUNIZ RESIDING IN BRONX, NYC. AEGIS INITIATIVE RECOMMENDS NOT TRUSTING ANY INFORMATION THIS PERSON GIVES YOU FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, FOR REASONS DETAILED WITHIN

Brandon Muniz of The Bronx, NYC, is considered by Aegis Initiative to be a peddler of false information in pursuit of a personal agenda.

Said personal agenda appears to have, at least in the recent past, led to the harassment of individuals he used to be associated with. His usual method of sharing misinformation involves accusing one person of sexual assault and the rest of protecting them, while providing zero actual proof for this accusation. Additionally it is believed that they will say whatever it takes to convince their audience they are correct in their accusations.

Shared below is a few copies of the exact same post in different groups.

Recommended Handling Methods

Based on Mr. Muniz's behavior and methods, it is considered unlikely that he has gone to any conventions within the past 5 years. It is believed that Mr. Muniz is a recluse and mainly relies on misguided and supportive parents and the reputation of the NYC borough he lives in to shield himself from any accountability.

There are active restraining orders filed against him by at least 2 of the people who he has called out in his standard post, so it's pretty straightforward what should be done: Call the cops

Additionally, it is believed by the victims of his disinformation campaign that Mr. Muniz intentionally keeps his activities restricted to the internet in order to avoid violating the multiple restraining orders filed against him.

Therefore, it is anticipated that any physical threat resulting from Mr. Muniz's actions will come from someone who has decided to believe what Mr. Muniz is claiming and enact violence on his behalf.

Do not let this person work for your convention, they will abuse whatever tiny shred of authority they have to get what they want.

It is not recommended by Aegis Initiative that you directly confront Brandon Muniz unless you possess the resources (legally speaking) to permanently end his ability to engage in this disinformation campaign. If you are not successful, he will simply add your name to his list of people 'defending the rapist', as he puts it. This could potentially lead to harassment or worse visited upon you or your organization.

Description

Context for disinformation

Sometime in the distant past, estimated to be between 2015 and 2017, Brandon had a falling out with a group of like-minded friends for a multitude of reasons. For some reason that will probably only ever be known to Brandon himself, this separation led to Brandon deciding that someone within the group was a "rapist" and the other people within the group were defending them.

He would then spend close to the next decade harassing this friend-group, to the point where they would confront him in a groupchat in 2019. It is believed that after the confrontation, he would begin spamming groups related to anime conventions and cosplaying with the post detailed in the Executive Summary.

As shown in the summary above, his usual method is simply to post the same post, over and over again in various Facebook groups, only adding to it when someone gives pushback, valid criticism, or merely asks basic questions like asking for context or even more info.

Callouts And Admission of Guilt

If you push Brandon to give even a shred of context for his post so that you can determine what exactly he wants the group to do, he will eventually invite you to a groupchat. Contained within this section is a gallery of screenshots from said groupchat. It describes a lot of things in details that Brandon would rather be hidden.

Highlights include:

-Brandon Muniz being inhumanly stubborn and unable to take any kind of pushback or criticism for his actions

-Brandon Muniz being accused of defending the uploading of Child Pornography to Facebook

-Evidence that the animosity between this group of friends and Brandon Muniz goes back to when they were all in High School, which potentially means this drama is over 10 years old based on how old some people in the group claim they were in 2019

-Screenshots which indicate that Brandon has actually convinced people to harass at least one individual present in the groupchat

-Brandon harassing one person in the group in DM's then later begging for forgiveness

-People in the groupchat begging Brandon to simply stop talking

Known Associates

At some point in 2022, Brandon shared his usual post in "New England Convention Group" which is owned and administrated by the KPT known as Terrance Hanlon, who we have written a long and extensive article on. After seeing that Brandon had been told off by a known volunteer of Aegis Initiative, Terrance and Brandon exchanged information on said volunteer. Evidence of this event has been publicly disclosed by Brandon himself.

As a result of this exchange, Brandon has claimed to have knowledge that makes any counterpoint to his claims made by Aegis Initiative volunteers to be invalid.

As with most claims that Brandon makes, he will never show his evidence to his claims in an open and honest manner, and will either only show select pieces of information that proves his point or refuse to show any evidence at all.

It is believed that KPT's such as Terrance Hanlon who have had negative interactions with Aegis Initiative have begun to try to ally themselves with others who have been shunned by the project, including Brandon. It is considered unlikely at this time that such an alliance of disparate problem persons will be particularly effective, given their obsessive nature and propensity for behavior that could be seen as an indication of a complex and degenerative mental illness.
