"He offered nothing to suggest that the FBI was wrong in its attribution, even if they had provided information and direction to France. And although Branco indicated that the FBI might have used methods to acquire evidence that would be violative of rights, he offered no proof of that either; and emphasized that since massive attacks by ShinyHunters (the group) occurred after his client was arrested, his client wasn't the head of ShinyHunters."
On October 14 an attorney held a French-language press conference regarding a man whom France claims heads ShinyHunters. Neither France nor the attorney disclosed the arrested man's name. The attorney, Juan Branco, argued that the arrested individuals were young autistic people with significant technical talent who could benefit their country but face potential 20-year sentences. Branco accused Kering and LVMH of pressuring the French government to make arrests and alleged French law enforcement was taking direction from the FBI, without presenting evidence. Branco also argued that later ShinyHunters attacks show the arrested man could not be the group's head, prompting reconsideration of prior assumptions about an online identity still active.
