Have a look at the Gracie Jiu Jitsu logo. It might mean nothing, or it might be a lead.

I really think there's nothing to this, just a G as a logo

This is nothing. I go there, it's pretty legit establishment.

Yeah I think Gracie schools are very nice. Alliance too. Just.. this is an uncomfortable similarity. And any large social organization is likely compromised.

I don't wanna throw false accusations -- BJJ is by far my favorite sport -- but it's worth checking out.

Sure, it's worth it. No harm no foul, just need to make sure we don't call anything without proof. For Besta's, the logo was the icing on the cake, for all of these other organizations, there logo is the entire cake.

We need more proof before jumping the gun here.

That looks like a triangle not a G. Is this near everything else?

pavs555 | 5 points | Nov 10 2016 23:24:41

The triangle is pretty much the symbol of Jiu Jitsu as a whole, represents mind, spirit and body or something. Can't see martial artists being involved in this

Good point, didn't know that.

Made a post at /r/bjj, getting suspicious attempts to suppress:

"A child killer was raped and tortured in prison after reportedly beating, raping, and killing his one-year, eight-month-old stepson.

Multiple reports are starting to make the rounds on child killer Daryell Dickson Meneses Xavier, a Gracie Barra competitor and jiujitsu instructor, who turned himself in to Brazilian authorities after having killed his stepson and obtained a lawyer.

Thanks. Can we link Gracie to Podesta, maybe through contacts, art, maybe location? I feel like we're on the verge of being able to info-meme this.
