Kyle Bacon, also known online as “nocab72,” was active in the Mazda RX-7 and rotary-engine performance community during the late 1990s and early 2000s. He became well known within RX-7 enthusiast forums for his silver FD Mazda RX-7, racing activity, technical discussions, and participation in the broader rotary-performance scene. Archived forum discussions from November 2002 show Bacon personally explaining the origin of the “nocab72” username, stating that “nocab” was simply “Bacon” spelled backwards and that “72” referenced his 1972 birth year.
During this same time period, Bacon was also Vice Presidnt and COO at Fiber Network Solutions, Inc. (FNSI), a Tier-1 internet backbone and colocation company later acquired by Cogent Communications in February 2003. In later years, Bacon became Cogent Communications' CIO, and associated with Ion Partners, Slanina Holdings, and RacerConnect. This page preserves historical records, archived materials, public references, and evidentiary documents related to Kyle Bacon’s business activities, public statements, online presence, and long-standing identity continuity across multiple industries and communities.
Because many earlier forum records, automotive discussions, and online references predate the current dispute and evidentiary record by decades, they provide important independent historical context regarding Bacon’s public identity, professional associations, and long-term online presence.
Publicly available records spanning more than two decades consistently associate Kyle Bacon with Cogent Communications, RacerConnect, rotary-performance communities, and related technology and investment ventures. Archived forum discussions, business references, executive biographies, domain records, and historical internet archives collectively establish continuity between the online “nocab72” identity, the RX-7 enthusiast community, and later telecommunications and business activities associated with Kyle Bacon.
This page compiles those publicly available historical records, archived materials, and documented statements into a single chronological reference source.
This page identifies individuals who, based on documented evidence and good-faith analysis, are reasonably believed to have participated in, enabled, or failed to act in connection with the fraudulent acquisition of Fiber Network Solutions, Inc. and its subsequent concealment. The information presented here has been submitted in formal whistleblower disclosures to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Justice, the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation Division, and other federal agencies.
This list does not assert criminal guilt. Instead, it reflects a factual and evidentiary account of each individual’s known or alleged role, behavior, or response pattern—particularly where actions or omissions may be relevant to public interest, fiduciary duty, or federal investigations.

Kyle didn’t build FNSI.
He didn’t fund it.

Disclaimer and Legal Context
Cogent Communications evidentiary dispute became public.

(FNSI), Cogent Communications, Ion Partners LLC, Slanina Holdings, RacerConnect, and Ohio Northern University. These independent records collectively establish continuity between the RX-7 enthusiast known as “nocab72” and the telecommunications executive later associated with Cogent Communications and related business ventures.
This page consolidates those publicly available automotive-community records, archived RX-7 forum discussions, professional biographies, corporate records, and primary-source evidentiary materials into a unified historical timeline documenting Kyle Bacon’s long-standing public identity across both the Mazda rotary-performance community and later telecommunications-industry activities.
Kyle Bacon (“nocab72”) and the Mazda RX-7 Community
Archived Mazda RX-7 (RX7) forum discussions from the early 2000s show Kyle Bacon actively participating in the rotary-performance and RX-7 enthusiast community under the username “nocab72.” Forum records document technical discussions, racing-related conversations, community interactions, and references to Bacon’s silver FD RX-7, which became well known among rotary enthusiasts during that period. These archived discussions establish long-term public identity continuity connecting Kyle Bacon, “nocab72,” RacerConnect, and the broader RX-7 automotive community years before later business disputes and evidentiary disclosures emerged publicly.
Archived NoPistons Mazda RX-7 forum discussions from November 2002 specifically identify “nocab72” as Kyle Bacon. In the thread, Bacon personally explained that the username was derived from his last name spelled backwards together with his 1972 birth year. Other RX-7 forum members referenced Bacon’s well-known silver FD Mazda RX-7 and his visibility within the rotary-performance community.
During this period, Kyle Bacon participated extensively in online Mazda RX-7 and rotary-engine forums involving FD RX-7 performance, racing culture, rotary modifications, engine tuning, and enthusiast discussions. Historical forum archives associated with “nocab72” contain thousands of posts connected to RX-7 enthusiast communities, RacerConnect, and rotary-focused automotive discussions that remained publicly accessible for years.
These archived rotary-community discussions are historically significant because they independently establish public identity continuity connecting Kyle Bacon, “nocab72,” Mazda RX-7 forums, RacerConnect, Cogent Communications, Ion Partners LLC, and related business affiliations. Because these discussions predate the current evidentiary dispute by decades, they provide contemporaneous third-party identity references originating from independent automotive communities rather than later-created corporate biographies or litigation materials.
Fiber Network Solutions' Network Operations Center
The Fraudulent Sale of FNSI to Cogent Communications
Fiber Network Solutions, Inc. (FNSI) was a profitable, audited Tier One internet backbone provider co-founded by David J. Koch and Kyle Bacon during the rapid expansion of the telecommunications and internet infrastructure industry in the late 1990s.
In February 2003, during a period of documented medical incapacitation affecting Koch, FNSI was transferred to Cogent Communications through a transaction presented as an asset sale. The transaction eliminated Koch’s ownership interest, including approximately 1.2 million Cogent shares that would otherwise have been associated with his equity position, while removing FNSI from public visibility as an independent operating company.
The documentary record reflects a consistent pattern of disputed ownership attribution, concealment of transaction details, omission of material schedules and supporting records, and the later construction of public narratives that minimized or omitted Koch’s role in building and leading FNSI as President, CEO, and Chairman.
Archived corporate records, contemporaneous industry publications, forum archives, executive biographies, audio recordings, memorandums, and historical internet records collectively preserve the historical timeline surrounding FNSI, Cogent Communications, Kyle Bacon, and the long-running concealment regarding the company’s ownership, authorship, and transfer.
This archive exists as a permanent, structured reference source for regulators, investigators, journalists, researchers, and the public.
