Assessment: UNCERTAIN​

This entry documents serious allegations made publicly against a living person who has not been criminally charged or sued in connection with the claims. The allegations originate from a single source — the subject's daughter, Madison (Clares) Cupps, in podcast appearances and a posthumously circulated video — and have not been independently verified by major media outlets, court filings, or law enforcement disclosures available at the time of this writing. Bryan Cupps' verified public career as a technology entrepreneur is well-documented across independent sources including PMQ Pizza, Boing Boing, Palo Alto Online, and Tedium. The allegations should be read in that context: serious claims that have not been substantiated through court proceedings or independent investigation, weighed against a documented mainstream business career.

Background — Verified Public Career​

According to public reporting in PMQ Pizza, Boing Boing, Palo Alto Online (1997), Tedium, and the AppStorey archive:

  • In May 1996, Bryan Cupps cofounded CyberSlice with Tim Glass and Jim Brimhall — described as the first fully automated nationwide online pizza-ordering platform
  • The platform was built on Steve Jobs' NeXT WebObjects software; according to PMQ Pizza, Jobs placed the company's first online order and nominated Cupps for the Computerworld Smithsonian Award
  • CyberSlice maintained a database of menus from approximately 1,000 pizzerias across Boston, New York, Seattle, and Silicon Valley
  • The company was renamed Cybermeals, then in 1999 reorganized under Accel Partners and rebranded as Food.com
  • Cupps subsequently cofounded iWare (developer of the iBar desktop tool, sold to eMachines after reportedly reaching 1M+ users)
  • Cofounded DualCor Technologies, makers of the cPC Ultra Mobile PC running dual operating systems
  • Served as CTO at Equa
  • As of available records is President of Cupps Beer Root
  • Per his own bio: holds 14 US patents and 2 international patents

This mainstream career background is verifiable across multiple independent sources and is presented here so readers can weigh the unproven allegations against the documented public record.

The Allegations — Attribution​

According to the X post by @TheEmmapreneur (Emma Katherine) published May 13, 2026 (post id 2054372519465881910), the post quotes Madison (Clares) Cupps as stating:

"This is my father, Bryan Cupps, Cofounder of CyberSlice which allowed you to order pizza online back in 1996. He used pizza orders to cover up his child trafficking ring... 'Pizza' was code word for 'little girls'. It was used to sell children before the dark web. The dark web put him out of business... These are witnesses he claims he had the CIA kill for him (my mom's ex-boyfriend and my neighbor - she was just a kid when she died). Both Victims 'hung' themselves..."

The post identifies Madison as having "died under mysterious circumstances on April 10th, 2026."

According to publicly available podcast records, Madison Clares previously appeared on the Warrior of Truth podcast (episode titled "Madison Clares' Fight for Justice and the Hidden Truth of CyberSlice") and on a Spotify episode titled "070: Origins of Pizzagate w/ Madison Clares."

The Original Long-Form Post (April 28, 2026)​

On April 28, 2026, the same account (@TheEmmapreneur) published a longer statement attributed to Madison Cupps, with four photo attachments. This earlier post — referenced on May 13, 2026 as "The Original #PizzaGate" by the same author — reportedly accumulated ~2,636 likes, ~1,327 retweets, and ~114,262 impressions before the May follow-up. The full attributed text:

"My real name is Madison Cupps. My father Bryan Cupps started CyberSlice along with Steve Green, Tim Glass, and Steve Jobs. CyberSlice was a platform they designed back in the 90s which allowed you to order pizza online. 'Pizza' was code word for little girls and so on. They used this platform to traffic children for the elites. My father sold the business to Food.com when the dark web was created it put him out of business. He lost his biggest customer Bill Gates. He used to threaten to sell me to Hillary Clinton if I told anyone what he was doing to me. He said I was lucky that he was only assaulting me and that she would cut my vagina and turn it into a witch's nose and sacrifice me.

I have reported my father for child trafficking and sexually assaulting me to the FBI. Unfortunately, due to his CIA connections nothing has happened. He has had my witnesses assassinated so I knew the safest thing for me to do was to go to the media. I gained some support on Tik Tok, but my account has been suspended and they are doing everything they can to take my voice away from me..."

Living Public Figures Named in the Original Post — Mandatory Defamation Notice​

The April 28, 2026 statement attributed to Madison Cupps names two highly prominent living public figures: Bill Gates (named as the alleged "biggest customer" of CyberSlice) and Hillary Clinton (named in an alleged threat made by Bryan Cupps).

  • Both individuals are alive and are extremely high-profile public figures.
  • Neither has been criminally charged, indicted, or sued in connection with the claims in this statement.
  • The claims are unverified attributions made by a single source via a third-party podcaster.
  • No court filing, law-enforcement disclosure, mainstream media investigation, or independent witness corroboration of these specific claims has been located.
  • Mentions of Bill Gates and Hillary Clinton in this entry are recorded strictly to document what the post claims — not to assert any of the claims as fact.
  • Bill Gates and Hillary Clinton have not, to the knowledge of this entry's research, made any public statement responding specifically to these allegations.

Verification status of these claims, per available public sources:

  • The kinship claim (Madison as Bryan Cupps' daughter) appears repeatedly on her own social-media accounts (Instagram @madisonclares.music, TikTok) but has not been independently confirmed by Bryan Cupps or by mainstream media.
  • The trafficking allegations have not been the subject of any court filing, indictment, civil suit, or law-enforcement disclosure that available searches could locate.
  • Madison Cupps' reported death (April 10, 2026) has not been confirmed by an obituary, news article, death certificate record, or major media report locatable in searches as of May 2026. Social media activity tagged with her name and "RIP" exists but no independent confirmation was found.
  • Bryan Cupps has not, to the knowledge of this entry's research, publicly responded to or addressed the allegations.

Counterarguments / Alternative Explanations​

Anyone reading the post should weigh the following:

  • No independent corroboration. Major media outlets have not reported on the trafficking allegations. No court filings or law enforcement actions are publicly known.
  • Single source. The claims trace to one person — Madison Cupps — primarily via independent podcasts and social-media interviews, with circulation amplified by an independent podcaster (Emma Katherine / @TheEmmapreneur) who focuses on whistleblower and survivor content.
  • "Pizza as code word" claim is a recurring trope in the "Pizzagate" universe of online conspiracy theories that has been thoroughly examined and contested by mainstream media; it appeared most prominently in the 2016 Comet Ping Pong narrative, which led to Edgar Maddison Welch entering the restaurant with a rifle. Welch found no evidence of trafficking and was convicted.
  • Verified business history. CyberSlice's actual operations (an automated nationwide pizza-ordering platform built on NeXT/WebObjects) are documented in independent contemporaneous press, including 1997 Palo Alto Online coverage.
  • Cupps has not been charged or sued in connection with the allegations.
  • Disputed cofounder list. The April 28 post names "Steve Green, Tim Glass, and Steve Jobs" as cofounders alongside Bryan Cupps. Independent mainstream sources (PMQ Pizza, AppStorey, Boing Boing, Palo Alto Online) consistently list the verified cofounders as Bryan Cupps, Tim Glass, and Jim Brimhall — not Steve Green or Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs is documented as having placed CyberSlice's first online order (the platform was built on his company's NeXT WebObjects technology) and as having nominated Cupps for the Computerworld Smithsonian Award, but Jobs is not listed as a cofounder in any independent business source. The discrepancy is itself a meaningful data point about the post's accuracy.

Why This Entry Exists​

This investigation documents allegations of child trafficking and elite-blackmail operations as they appear in the public record. The post and its claims have circulated publicly. This entry records:

  1. What was claimed, by whom, and with what attribution
  2. What is independently verified vs. unverified
  3. The verified mainstream career of the named subject
  4. The death status of the source making the claims (currently unconfirmed)

Readers should treat the trafficking allegations as unverified claims attributed to a single source. The entry exists to document the public record around the post — not to assert the claims are true.

Madison Cupps — The Source​

Summary of what is publicly known:

  • Reportedly the daughter of Bryan Cupps; identifies as a musician on social media (Instagram @madisonclares.music)
  • Appeared on multiple podcasts including Warrior of Truth (Kelly Dillon) and Spotify "070: Origins of Pizzagate w/ Madison Clares"
  • On April 24, 2026 (post 2047769275708895549, ~59,593 impressions, 2 photo attachments), @TheEmmapreneur circulated what is presented as Madison's IC3 (Internet Crime Complaint Center) complaint, naming Bryan Cupps as the alleged abuser and naming Madison's mother Autumn Taylor Cupps as having found CSAM on the father's computer "but did nothing about it." Sibling names in the published version are redacted. The full attributed text and the 2 IC3 screenshot images are on the Madison Cupps profile.
  • On April 28, 2026 (post 2049133495377670615, ~114,262 impressions, 4 photo attachments), the same account published the longer "Original PizzaGate" statement attributed to Madison.
  • According to the @TheEmmapreneur posts, Madison "died under mysterious circumstances on April 10th, 2026"
  • This death has not been independently confirmed by an obituary, death record, or mainstream news report available to this entry's research as of May 13, 2026
  • The complaint text accuses Bryan Cupps of producing and selling CSAM and of claiming to work for the CIA "as an assassin." These claims are unverified. Bryan Cupps has not been criminally charged, sued, or subject to any public law-enforcement action in connection with them and has not publicly responded.
