One of the members of the Wolfpack, Nick Nero of Niagara Falls, could not remember his email address and passport to the Pretty Good Privacy network, so he wrote down his email address "Cervezafrya@encryptroid.com" and his password "sharp0" on a yellow sticky note, which was found by the police right next to his cell phone on his kitchen countertop in his girlfriend's Niagara-on-the-Lake condo following Nero's arrest on May 23, 2012. The police were able to decrypt all of the texts sent by the Wolfpack in 2011 and 2012 due to the password unintentionally provided by Nero, including those sent by Amero. In July 2012, Amero was involved in a traffic incident in Montreal and was charged with drunk driving and leaving the scene of an accident. On August 8, 2012, Alkhalil's condo was raided by the Sûreté du Québec and the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal with warrants for the arrest of both Alkhalil and Amero, who had both already fled. Found inside of Alkhalil's condo was a group photograph of the Wolfpack leaders taken in front of Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The fact that Amero, Alkhalil, and Shane "Wheels" Maloney of the West End Gang were in the center indicated that they were the leaders of the group as it is the normal custom in the Canadian underworld for leaders of the gang to be placed in the center of a group photograph.
