According to an article in in the Los Angeles Post from 3 October 1994, reproduced in a scene-circulated textfile, Knight Shadow was an employee at MCI arrested for massive theft of calling card numbers. According to a comment by the anonymous producer of the textfile, the arrest was connected to the earlier arrest of Kimble in Germany over calling card fraud.

An interview with Knight Shadow in jail is featured in this article. According to it, he was a courier, but started selling CCs simply to make some money on the side. After Kimble had given up Killerette to the police, they were able to trace Knight Shadow as the source of the stolen CCs. After the arrest, he made a full statement and agreed to act as a stool pidgeon to help arrest a few other CC resellers. He was sentenced to 38 months in prison.
