It seems like "Kirk" is believed to be some other individual. From the complaint against Sheppard:
> On July 21, 2020, federal agents executed a search warrant authorized by U.S.
Magistrate Judge Alex G. Tse at a residence in the Northern District of California. Among the
occupants of the home was a juvenile (“Juvenile 1”). ““Juvenile 1” was believed to be a Discord
user identified in chats as an individual who assisted “Kirk#5270” and “Chaewon” in selling access
to Twitter accounts. Upon execution of the search warrant, “Juvenile 1” agreed to be interviewed.
“Juvenile 1” admitted to law enforcement agents that he/she was the Discord user who was
identified in chats as assisting “Kirk#5270” and that he/she participated in the sale of illegal
Twitter access. “Juvenile 1” admitted that he/she worked with “Chaewon” to sell Twitter account
access. According to “Juvenile 1,” his/her knowledge of “Chaewon” was that “Chaewon” lived
in the United Kingdom and “Juvenile 1” knew “Chaewon” by the name “Mason.” According to
“Juvenile 1,” he/she and “Chaewon” had discussed turning themselves in to law enforcement after
the Twitter hack became publicly known.
