conspiracist

Secret scheme believer

A conspiracist is someone who believes in or promotes conspiracy theories—explanations that attribute events to secret plots by powerful groups rather than to ordinary causes.

The term often carries skeptical connotations, implying the person's beliefs lack credible evidence: The forum was full of conspiracists convinced the moon landing was faked.
