IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
CRIMINAL ACTION
The Commonwealth of Redmont
Prosecution
v.
ReinausPrinzzip
Defendant
COMPLAINT
The Prosecution alleges criminal actions committed by the Defendant as follows:
ReinausPrinzzip used his position as an auditor for the department of state to leak state secrets classified as CABINET under the classification act to his colleague. These actions break Breach of Integrity - leaking CABINET level classified chats - and Corruption - To use a government position, elected or otherwise, to benefit one's private interests or corporate ventures.
PROSECUTING AUTHORITY REPORT
Statement from the Secretary of the Department of State xEndeavour
On 02 November 21, the Department of State terminated the defendant from their role as an Auditor.
During their tenure as an Auditor, it was discovered that the defendant used their position to leak information that was restricted to a CABINET classification.
The Department of State's Auditor Protocols (https://www.democracycraft.net/threads/auditor-guide.9568/) state that "Audit reporting can be significantly damaging to the Government's image, therefore it holds a security clearance of CABINET. Therefore, it is a serious offence to share audit information and will likely result in termination." The defendant used their elevated auditing permissions to obtain information which would otherwise be considered audit information from non-public channels. This information was then allegedly shared with members of the NPR.
The defendant claimed that this was an act of whistleblowing, as defined by the Whistleblower Act. After a Department investigation, we found no wrongdoing or illegal activity that would protect the defendant under whistleblower protections. Since this was not information concerning any illegal activity, rather it was against the defendant's own personal opinion that motivated the defendant to share this information, the Department recommends that charges for breaching integrity be laid. Even should the courts find that the assumption of illegal activities reasonable, the defendant shared far more than what could be reasonably considered whistleblowing.
The Department would also consider the Whistleblower Act not as a free pass to share information wherever the defendant likes, rather a protection for whistleblowing and reporting the illegal acts to the relevant authorities. As such, the defendant should have raised the suspected illegal activity with the Audit team, with the Secretary or Deputy Secretary, or with the police. The NPR is not in a position of authority to reasonably substantiate a claim of whistleblower.
Therefore, due to the abuse of their permissions in the defendant's capacity as an auditor to gain information which was of legal nature, the Department refers this incident to the Attorney General, recommending that the defendant be prosecuted with Breach of Confidence. Furthermore, if the court finds the nature of the evidence to be reasonably assumed illegal, the defendant shared far too much information with a non-authority figure to substantiate this claim.
The Department of State advises that the evidence be given in-confidence to the Court and the defendant due to the sensitive nature of the discussions about redevelopment and the effect this may have on the real estate market in the town.
I. PARTIES
1. ReinausPrinzzip (Former DOS auditor)
2. Xerxesmc (witness)
3. xEndeavour (DOS Secretary)
4. Heather (Auditor)
5. pugbandit (Witness)
6. Rurge (Mayor of Oakridge Bay)
7. CursedOcean (Deputy Mayor of Oakridge Bay)
II. FACTS
1. ReinausPrinzzip was one of three DOS auditors who had access to Oakridge Bay Government discord channels
2. At the time the three DOS members who had access to those channels was ReinausPrinzzip, Heather, and xEndeavour
3. Auditors are given CABINET clearance in order to do their job.
4. Reinaus took pictures of these classified chats and sent them to NPR Party Council members.
5. Xerxesmc made a ticket in the Oakridge Bay discord with Classified documents
6. Xerxesmc made a Department of State ticket where he states the following
We (the people of Oakridge) have had many concerns over the past few days about how they've been going about things. They have been basically doing whatever they want, which sure we know Oakridge needs a lot of help and Marty admitted to being overwhelmed and started taking suggestions more. I thought this was settled and was waiting to see what they would come up with, even opening a ticket to give suggestions/feedback
Come to find out that a DOS employee in the council chats have shared this under whist blower to have these matters investigated. All of this was stated after our conversations with the new leadership earlier this morning
Some major concerns that stick out are Marty and Rurge messing around (1st screenshot) talking about displacing everyone in the Town. Whether it is legal or not to do so, it is extremely concerning to hear about. Another thing, although this is not party vs party, the fact that almost the entire council is ICP and random ICP people are also in the chat voting is extremely concerning as well. They are able to pass anything they want as they will clearly get a majority in what they want.
I presume they will start deleting chats from this point as I confronted them about it and was basically treated as if I didnt know what I was talking about, you could say gaslit lmao
He also posted the classified chats.
7. Xerxesmc claimed “a DOS employee” had whistleblower protection.
8. As stated in the Secretary of State’s brief, an DOS investigation came to the conclusion that Reinaus broke DOS policy and broke §7 - Breach of Integrity under the Classification Act.
9. The act of spreading private government chats to those without proper clearance is a threat to Redmont’s National Security.
10. The only members that can see the mayoral office in Oakridge is Mayor, Deputy Mayor, President, Vice President, Chief of Staff, Department of State auditors, and server staff (In the provided image, the Attorney General was given perms to be able to access the ticket information, this perm will be removed at the conclusion of this case).
III. CHARGES
The Prosecution hereby alleges the following charges against the Defendant:
1. Reinaus is hereby charged with breaking §7 - Breach of Integrity of the Classification Act which states “Breach of Integrity Where an individual shares information of classified nature when unauthorised. Per Offence: Maximum fine of $20,000” as Reinaus has shared CABINET classified chats without the authority
2. Reinaus is hereby charged with breaking §16.1 - Corruption of Rules and Laws which states “To use a government position, elected or otherwise, to benefit one's private interests or corporate ventures. By applying for a position or being elected into a position in government, the player agrees to serve the server over themselves” as Reinaus has used his government position to benefit his private political interest
IV. SENTENCING
The Prosecution hereby recommends the following sentence for the Defendant:
1. $25,000 total in fines ($20,000 from Breach of Integrity and $5,000 for corruption)

By making this submission, I agree I understand the penalties of lying in court and the fact that I am subject to perjury should I knowingly make a false statement in court.
