A QAnon influencer claimed on Sunday that he and other QAnon-connected figures are using their “connections” and “contacts with local police forces” to share “leads” from supporters of the conspiracy theory. The influencer, Ben Moore, is a member of America’s Future, an organization run by former national security adviser Michael Flynn that has become increasingly tied to QAnon.
During an X Space on April 21 seemingly dedicated to topics related to America’s Future, Moore, who sits on an advisory board for the organization, said that he and other board members “get a lot of messages” and have “people reaching out about potential trafficking operations,” and when QAnon supporters “give us leads, it turns into, a lot of times, something that’s real. And we’ll use our connections and our contacts with local police forces or nonprofits that are doing this stuff to make things happen.”
Specifically, Moore — a QAnon influencer known online as Sun Tzu — claimed that “there’s so much that happens behind the scenes, and it’s because of Anons,” referring to a term for QAnon supporters. The other board members he mentioned were Liz Crokin, another QAnon conspiracy theorist, and Tara Rodas, who has repeatedly appeared on QAnon-promoting shows.

X SPACE PARTICIPANT: My wife was tonight, she was all upset because she has a lady that has been trafficked by presidents. And she’s gonna send it to Sun Tzu, and Sun Tzu is gonna look at it. Sun, that’s why I sent you that message. But it’ll all be good. We’ll dig into it. We’re diggers, right? And —
BEN MOORE (QANON INFLUENCER): Yeah. No. Listen, man. That’s one thing too. Everything like that, I always take it serious. I know Liz [Crokin] does. I know Tara [Rodas] does. I mean, we get a lot of messages. We get a lot of people reaching out about potential trafficking operations. We actually got a guy, we got a PD, a local PD, to investigate a particular person that was doing some crazy stuff. I can’t really go into it.
But there’s so much that happens behind the scenes, and it’s because of Anons. When they give us leads, it turns into, a lot of times, something that’s real. And we’ll use our connections and our contacts with local police forces or nonprofits that are doing this stuff to make things happen. And so I — I’m serious about it.
I mean, I know Tara has resources that are amazing, especially with stuff that’s happening with the children over the border. We haven’t even talked about that tonight. Totally different topic than what we’re discussing tonight, but there is so many — there’s so many different pans in the fire right now, but I know that people that have legitimate concerns of trafficking operations. We’ve seen trafficking rings broken up, legitimate arrests made, children being saved.
So there’s a lot that happens behind the scenes. Can’t always talk about it, but it does happen.
In 2022, the leaders of election denial organization True the Vote also indicated they had or would pass along material from the QAnon community to law enforcement.
