In the video, he’s grabbing his crotch and inviting her to check it out for herself.

As she noted, “The Proud Boy here who can’t stop grabbing his crotch goes by the name “Beefy” & was quite cocksure that his true identity would never come out. unfortunately for Beefy, not only did I not take him up on his offer for a date, it took me less than 10 minutes to find his real name.”

The fun started with Conger finding the photo he posted online, flashing a “white power” hand gesture.

From there, she was able to find his alleged Parler account, noting, “on Parler (RIP), Beefy uses the display name “ACN Beefy” and the handle “patriotic vengeance.”

Searching for his Parler handle led her to find suspected his real name, tied to both a Facebook account and the Parler account.

As she noted, “You can see a cached version of a page of some kind gaming website where someone has commented that other players can find him on facebook or parler, using the patriotvengeance handle.”

From there, Conger was able to track him down to Virginia.

“People have been complaining about a guy putting up stickers at an outlet mall there with an email address to join the Proud Boys.” That email address? [email protected],” she wrote.

That led Conger to LinkedIn.

She noted that a “quick, simple search” for his suspected real name in the Virginia city brings up a LinkedIn page for someone with the same name who works for the county. The profile picture appears to match as well.

Conger connected more dots, observing, “[his suspected personal] Facebook profile is consistent (facial hair, sunglasses) with a profile picture Beefy has been using in [the] Proud Boys Telegram channel” and that the area code matches a previous residence listed on his LinkedIn page.

As of Tuesday, the man in question appears to have taken down his LinkedIn page.
