Rylan Shavers is Trendon's brother and before he took down his social media accounts (most of the family has either taken down or locked their social media accounts) his name came up as being in Zach's circle on Google +.
Trendon's family connections have been verified ad nauseum through the family's social media accounts - they were known and posted here well before pirate even defaulted. Given the open threats which were made in past threads about inflicting "collateral damage" on Trendon's family, I would fully expect them to have now closed ranks and be actively hostile towards anyone seeking information about Trendon though. Also, as pirate still logs into this board, one has to assume that he's aware of the SEC contacting people about his activities and that he's probably far more concerned about a government investigation than he is about possibly being sued by users (if users even have legal standing to sue him).
