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?

    I’m a bit skeptical myself of this post, but it is being truthful about the Gavin Casdorph name appearing. I know this because I checked to find contact information to send an email with feedback, and I saw that name listed there and had trouble figuring out if it was a typo or if I was sending an email to the right place.

    I’m not saying that OP is correct or that I believe the post yet, but that name part is entirely truthful and it’s definitely changed since then seeing the app details on Testflight.

      Well I’ll let Gavin weigh in on that though i assume it was a typo lol. Either way this is a totally ridiculous theory since this dude would be in prison now.
