is it a fact that he had CP? is it not possible that they lied to make him look like an evil degen? just wondering

CP charges can cover a multitude of sins. At the worst, it could be videos of child rape and murder. But, at the less serious end it could be a slightly too naked child from an innocent holiday photograph, depending on the jurisdiction. At that end whether the possessor gets charged can depend on how much the law enforcement don't like them.

A lot of legitimate, adult porn sites have a few uploaders who put up illegal shit. Then legitimate viewers are looking for adult porn but through no fault of theirs they get a thumbnail ad which they ignore (might not even see) and its in the cache on their hard drive and if they get busted, well, they're fucked.

It's likely millions of innocent people who use pornhub or whatever will have passed a few underage pictures without noticing.

So Pom could be innocent, morally at least.

can't they just download CP in his device to make the case against him worse? are there ways to make sure that don't happen?

Yes, but it can be hard to do depending on the device. I've heard of cases in the past where the FBI said they found CP or hacking materials but the forensics said the CP arrived after the device was seized :O. Windows is probably hardest because NTFS is a journaling file system. Also, modern forensic chain of evidence has got better, so disks get seized, imaged then locked up.

onor Brian Fitzpatrick, a 21-year-old New York resident known online as "Pompompurin" who previously ran the BreachForums forum, was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Fitzpatrick was arrested by the FBI in March 2023 and charged with “conspiracy to distribute unauthorized access devices.” Last Tuesday, January 16, the court handed down a verdict finding Fitzpatrick guilty of conspiracy to commit access device fraud, inducement to offer such devices, and possession of child pornography.

Prosecutors recommended that the court impose a 15-year prison term that is "sufficient but not excessive" to reflect the seriousness of Fitzpatrick's crimes, the harm he caused, the risk of reoffending and deterring similar cybercrimes in the future.

Earlier this month, Fitzpatrick, who was under house arrest, violated his bail conditions by using a computer without court-ordered monitoring software, prompting FBI agents to re-arrest Pompompurin, who was previously out on $300,000 bail, on Jan. 2.

The now-defunct BreachForums was believed to be a revived version of another cybercrime forum, RaidForums, which was also seized by the FBI in August 2022. On BreachForums, cybercriminals exchanged data stolen from companies and other organizations.

For example, it was there that confidential information from the health insurance company DC Health Link was published, including personal data of members of the US House of Representatives and Senate.

During the existence of BreachForums, many data leaks from a variety of companies were posted there. According to the US Department of Justice, at the time of closure, BreachForums had more than 340 thousand active users.

Now that Fitzpatrick has been sentenced so harshly, the prospects for the continued operation of resources like BreachForums look very dim. It is obvious that the US authorities are determined to suppress cybercrime, regardless of the size of the forums and the number of participants.
