Zachary Dosch

Zachary Dosch, alias "Moist Nigerian," is a resident of Albuquerque, New Mexico and a named leader of Greggy's Cult (also called the Cult of Greg), the online child exploitation network that operated on Discord from approximately January 2020 through January 2021. He was born approximately 1999 and was 26 at the time of his December 2025 indictment.

Prior Conviction

Dosch pleaded guilty in 2022 to cyberstalking and child pornography charges arising from related conduct. His sentencing on those charges had not yet occurred as of December 2025, when the new Greggy's Cult indictment was returned.¹

Greggy's Cult Methods

Greggy's Cult directed minor victims to engage in sexually explicit and degrading conduct on video calls hosted on Discord or other video conferencing platforms. The group also engaged in coordinated extortion of both minor and adult victims, including schemes to frame adult victims as pedophiles and to send malware to minor victims' computers, using the resulting leverage to compel ongoing compliance with degrading acts on camera. Encouragement of victims to commit suicide and to insert household objects into their genitals was documented in DOJ filings.²

Federal Charges (United States v. Bermudez, 1:25-cr-00361)

A federal grand jury in the Eastern District of New York returned an indictment unsealed on December 2, 2025, charging Dosch alongside Hector Bermudez, Rumaldo Valdez, David Brilhante, and Camden Rodriguez. The case number is 1:25-cr-00361 (PKC). The 10-count indictment charged: engaging in a child exploitation enterprise, conspiracy to produce child pornography, conspiracy to receive and distribute child pornography, and conspiracy to communicate interstate threats. The alleged criminal conduct covered January 2020 through January 2021.²

No outcome had been publicly reported on Dosch's 2022 guilty plea sentencing or the new indictment as of May 2026.
