AI Reasoning: Search results found biographical profiles (Crunchbase, LinkedIn) showing Darren Crystal co-founded Photobucket and has two investments listed: Slime Sandwich (seed round, Oct 1, 2009) and Self Financial / Self Lender (reported Mar 23, 2015). The most recent known investment activity is from 2015 (Self Financial). Calculating time elapsed from that investment to today exceeds 12 months by many years, so the correct classification is the tag for investors whose last known investment was more than 12 months ago. However, because the instructions require returning only the tag in the final result, and if no recent activity were found one should use default “not-found”. Given public sources show investments only up to 2015, the appropriate tag per definitions is “low-active”.

Low Activity – Only known angel investments more than 12 months ago.

Active – Known angel investments between the last 12 and 6 months.

Very Active – Known angel investments in the last 6 months.
