Adeyori Adebowale, better known online as Riley, is a former member of the Club Penguin Private Server community, originating from the United Kingdom. He is best known for creating Club Penguin Online, a delisted Club Penguin private server controversial for being used for hacking incidents and obtaining nude photos from moderators (mostly underaged.)
Club Penguin Online
Starting from the discontinuation of the original Club Penguin in March 2017, countless CP private servers (CPPS for short) have started to spawn in order to preserve the game. One of the examples is Club Penguin Online, run by Adebowale under his username Riley and starting in January 4, 2018. With the Covid-19 pandemic spreading worldwide in 2020, CPO earned a sudden massive growth of the userbase, with 7 million players joining the game that year.
CPO has been heavily criticized for its lack of moderation, allowing slurs, swear words and sexual roleplaying, especially for a private server of a family-friendly game. The game has also been subject of controversy for hacking incidents, as the moderators could leak e-mails, passwords and IP addresses of every user on the site, causing others' accounts that use the same password as their CPO account to be hacked by the moderators in turn[1].
Shutdown of Club Penguin Online and Arrest
On May 15, 2020, Disney issued a DMCA takedown on Riley's Club Penguin Online, closing down the game that same day. Disney states that it's "appaled by the abhorrent and illegal use of its game."
Later, Riley has been arrested for possessing child pornography and being involved in hackings and other crimes. In turn, his Twitter account has been suspended for violating their terms of use.
