Wiener-Gate
A multi-brand online pet-purchase fraud network, documented as a criminal supply chain rather than a single suspect.
This is the public layer of a working investigation into a network that sells puppies that do not exist. The private record does not ship. What ships is the infrastructure findings, the registry timeline, the template artifacts, the stolen-image provenance analysis, the methodology, and every hash needed to check the work — filtered through a binding redaction contract, with every load-bearing claim carrying a reference like (Z-7), (U-4), (R-1).
It is a supply chain, not a person
DOCUMENTEDTemplates, aged Facebook pages, payment fronts, and courier kits are sold separately and assembled by whoever rents them. Looking for "the guy" is the wrong shape of question. The chokepoints are the vendors, the registrars, and the platforms.
The operators left the receipts in place
DOCUMENTEDOne shipping site publishes its template vendor’s demonstration credentials on a public page and ships the string (demo) in its footer in English and German (T-1, S-2, T-9). Eleven images were uploaded in a 93-minute session finishing 34 minutes before the domain was registered (U-4).
The same invented people keep appearing
DOCUMENTEDA testimonial persona named "Priya" appears four times across three domains on two separate hosting stacks, alongside "James" and "Sarah M." (Q-5, S-3, T-3, U-7). Content-layer linkage is what connects the storefronts; infrastructure linkages failed every test.
It rebuilds faster than reports can be filed
DOCUMENTEDStorefront domains are replaced every four to ten weeks. Three domains named in the earlier evidence are already gone from the registry (R-1, R-2). A second shipping front was stood up while this investigation was running (S-1).
