Bada bing, bada boo.
This is how they say a zombie apocalypse starts.
It's kind of like the movies.
By the time you hear on the news that this new virus is spreading.
That's causing people's brains to turn into neuro jello neuro pudding.
It's too late.
You need to notice the early signs.
Things that don't seem connected but they're all interwoven together.
It's the coffee shop glitch theory.
You think you're the problem.
You walk into your local coffee shop.
Your barista has dark circles under her eyes.
You think it's big coffee's fault.
They're overworking her.
But she actually says she's been taking time off.
They've been letting her get extra vacation days because she's been so exhausted, which is strange.
But that day she gets your order wrong for the first time in three years.
But not only that.
When you go to ask for a change in the milk, you see five other people lined up asking for changes for their regular coffee orders.
Everybody's coffee order is wrong.
Then you see one customer ordering an espresso shot, then circling back to the front of the store, glancing at their phone, looking around and then shaking their head, walking back in line and ordering an espresso shot.
And then when they walk away from the line, they shake their head and they look confused.
And then they walk back into the line and order another espresso shot.
They forgot that they've ordered, so that they just went in a loop three times ordering the same espresso shot.
What the hell is going on in this coffee shop?
Another barista is just staring at the wall blankly while hot coffee pours down the cup into her hand.
And so, after grabbing your coffee that you normally don't like because they got it wrong, this is the wrong order.
You want to visit your family members who's in the hospital?
You drive up to the parking lot thinking okay, the craziest thing is going to be the astronomical price for parking.
Is this the price for an x-ray?
That's the price for 30 minutes of parking, but this time when you get to the front entrance of the parking lot, it's blocked.
It says parking lot full.
You park across the street, you run over with your now cold coffee and you are told no visitors allowed for anybody.
Then who the hell are all those cars that are parking in the parking lot?
These are the first initial signs of a zombie apocalypse.
Everybody has mental fatigue.
Everybody has brain fog.
Nobody can get anything right.
The hospital is randomly full of cars, but they're not allowed visitors.
Everything is hush hush.
By the time you see any news of a virus going around online, it's probably too late.
That's what they say.
I'm not really like a doomsday prepper, so I'm not really sure, but that's what the Redditors say.
It's the coffee shop glitch.
All these things that seem unconnected, unrelated events are actually true. connected.
Such as this.
In Romania, a teenage guy named Toby is on the phone with his friends.
He sees an elderly woman walking in front of him.
He's glancing around and he's talking to his friends.
I'm gonna do it.
One of his friends responds, do it then, do it.
The camera starts shaking like one of those found footage movies, and you hear him running up towards this elderly woman, knocking her onto the ground.
And then you hear a collection of very strange noises a hissing noise like hairspray, stomping noises.
Then something that sounds oddly like the air being whipped around followed by small bubbles.
Like a jet machine for a hot tub, but like slightly gurgling.
He just pepper sprayed, stomped on and slit the old woman's throat.
Then, in 2023, a 19 year old guy from brazil, named pedro, goes viral.
He's got a bob, his eyes are half shut, and there's a video of him like literally him and his bob his eyes are half shut.
It looks like he woke up from a three-hour nap that entered the fifth dimension.
The video of him is being arrested While reporters are swarming around him just trying to get an idea of why he did this.
He has this perpetual smirk on his face which seems to piss off a journalist who asks him how do you feel being a disgrace to your family?
Pedro whips around mid-arrest and says, could you have some more professionalism, please?
Then a 14-year-old in Sweden gets arrested for attacking a woman with a knife.
During his arrest, the only statement he makes is, terror is not about age.
Then in Australia, a 28-year-old man gets arrested, seemingly all connected to the previous arrest.
A 16-year-old in the United States gets arrested and they're all connected to each other?
Is this the butterfly effect, where one person's actions set off a chain of events that set off another person's actions?
Is this some sort of trend that's going on?
How are they all connected?
It's not a zombie apocalypse.
It's not even the beginnings of one.
It is the 764 cult, one of the organizations that the FBI have reported as being a terrorist organization, run by a bunch of teenagers in their parents' house.

We would like to thank today's sponsors who have made it possible for Rotten Mango to support NCMEC, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
They are the nation's largest and most influential child protection organization.
They have a cyber tip line.
It's a platform for reporting child sexual exploitation.
And their new Take It Down campaign is a free service to help remove non-consensual, intimate imagery from online platforms.
This episode's partnerships have also made it possible to support our growing team.
And we'd also like to thank you guys for your continued support.
As always, full show notes are available at rottenmingopodcast.com.
A few disclaimers.
Today's case involves really, I mean, pretty much every difficult topic that you can think of.
It's going to be in this episode.
There's going to be mentions of blackmail extortion doxing swatting, hate groups, animal cruelty, injuries to yourself terrorism, the distribution of CSAM.
I mean, your mental health is the priority.
Oh, there's heavy mentions of self-exit, people saying things to encourage self-exit.
So please...
Please watch.
There's a lot of graphic imagery as well.
So please watch at your own discretion.
If you need to take a break, it's going to be.
It's gonna be quite heavy.
So, with that said, let's get started.
A guy named samuel is crouched down.
He's like trying to set up his phone so that he can record himself.
He's wearing a white hoodie and his hair is peeking out from the hoodie sides, And it doesn't seem like it's heavy enough because it's currently snowing outside.
It's a rather thin white hoodie.
Once the phone is propped up on the ground, it's just standing upright on the ground, probably leaned against a rock or something.
He sits down in front of it, crisscross applesauce on the pavement, pulls out a plastic water bottle, but it's definitely not water in there.
I mean it looks slightly yellow, which could just be flavored water.
But then you look at the consistency, because he's moving it around in the video and it just seems noticeably thicker.
He opens up the cap, pours it all over his hood, his clothes, his hair, his face, And he smiles at the camera and says I'm going to taste the antichrist.
And he pulls out a small plastic tube.
Click.
He lights himself on fire.
It's instant.
His entire body is engulfed in flames.
Every visible part of his body is on fire.
His hair is singeing off.
Body parts are slowly getting charred.
He's moving around a little bit, likely due to the sheer pain in the beginning, until he ends up flat on his back on the pavement.
His arms are slightly outstretched into the air flexed, and that's when eventually, after minutes, he stops convulsing in pain.
It takes like four minutes before he's dead, but he's gone now.
That's the gist of what Sam's mom knows.
Her 25 year old son went into an isolated area, poured gasoline on himself and burned himself to death.
And he filmed it all.
That is what the police told Sam's mom.
He set up the camera to record himself.
Why would he do that?
They don't know.
They don't tell her.
Self-immolation is typically a form of protest.
Sometimes it's protesting a country, a system or, in a lot of cases, when little girls are forced into huge age gap marriages, aka morally bankrupt contracts, they might commit something like this to make their family members feel the highest level of guilt possible.
It's to draw attention to a cause or to something.
And maybe this worked a lot in other countries or perhaps in the world and i'm saying this as a discouragement but it doesn't really work as well anymore because the news cycle is so fast and ever-changing nobody even really pays attention much to people who light themselves on a fire for a cause.
But that doesn't seem to be the case for samuel.
It seems like the method was chosen for how easy it is to get the materials necessary, but also because it's just visually very startling.
One nurse says These patients, if they survive, they require a multidisciplinary approach to optimize their healing while addressing their mental health.
We're not just treating burns, we're treating profound despair.
It is probably one of the worst ways to go.
And the video of him doing that, lighting himself on fire, does start circulating on Discord.
And it would not be for a really long time before Sam's mom knows what's on that video, because it's not just a video of his passing.
There's so much more to it.
It's not a video that he recorded and was saved onto his phone.
It was a video that was live streamed and there are people talking as samuel is self-exiting to detail one of the most disturbing videos on discord, which is kind of saying a lot.
And it's not disturbing because not only does it capture him convulsing on the floor, while completely swallowed up by these angry red flames, but because there are at least 29 people watching this live stream, talking to him on this discord server.
They're not calling the police, they're not calling for medical help so that they can save him.
They're laughing And they're laughing.
We did it.
This is so funny.
That's the worst death possible, bro.
Fuck yeah, go 764.
But the most jarring portion of the Discord livestream is where you hear this very young, very soft voice.
A 15-year-old girl who is the mastermind of all of this.
She shouts...
Shout out to fucking 764.
There are so many global operations trying to take down 764, the us, canada.
There's 16 separate european countries participating in them.
There's operation dark rooms, operation discordia operation, autumn shield, operation restore justice.
There, every single country seems to be fighting it and it's all because of fight club.
That's how it starts, The Fight Club to Incel Pipeline.
Fight Club is a novel turned movie written by Chuck Palahniuk.
It's a classic which is technically supposed to have a lot of deeper messaging about consumerism, capitalism and toxic masculinity.
And Chuck Palahniuk is a fantastic writer.
But the incels have taken it and decided that this is going to be their holy bible.
And i don't even think it's their holy bible because i don't think they know how to read.
I don't know if they're literate, they just watch the movie and act like they understand the depth of it.
It is undeniably random.
Their misinterpretation of the message seems profoundly alarming.
There is a famous quote you're not your job, you're not how much money you have in the bank, you're not the car that you drive, you're not the contents of your wallet, you're not your fucking khakis.
The original interpretation is that consumer culture takes away your own identity, because modern consumer society reduces human identity to purchasing power.
And that applies for every single human in a capitalistic world.
But the incels, because they didn't see a girl on the screen when this quote was said.
They didn't see a girl.
So they were like ooh, that means this is about women, and all women care about our money.
But that's not what men are.
We're more than our bank accounts.
It's like they just ran out of the lobotomy office to think this.
Another quote that incels love is we're the middle children of history.
Man, no purpose or place.
We have no great war, no great depression.
Our great wars a spiritual war.
Our great depression is our lies.
Incels have taken this quote to mean that the women have waged war against men, stripping them of their traditional masculine purpose in life, which is to beat their chest and run through a war zone with face paint, which you can still do.
You could enlist right now, but also read the room because to compare your life in most...
Not all, but most places in America, no matter how bleak and depressing we are.
The condition right now in America today is not...
A war zone.
And you can't really compare it to that.
You can't say your spiritual war zone is as bad as a real war zone.
That's actually insane.
It's the rallying cry of the incels though.
This is their motto.
They live and die by this one quote.
I feel like they would tattoo it on their left butt cheek.
It's the most famous quote from Fight Club now.
We're a generation of men raised by women.
I'm wondering if another woman is really the answer we need.
Incels use this as-
They say this is women are responsible for men's problems.
Single moms and overt female influence have corrupted masculinity, and men may need to reject female companionship because that's the worst thing that can happen to them.
Meanwhile, Chuck Palahniuk is basically writing hey, Fuck these dads who are absent from their kids' lives.
But literacy is not in the room with us.
Somehow they interpret this to mean women are unnecessary.
And yet we are all the incels can think about.
Incels function their day-to-day life with the only thing on their mind, which is women.
What does that have to do with this case?
Everything.
Because once you start on the incel pipeline, there are just only a few roads that you can take.
And it seems like the most common one these days is the road straight to 764.
Michael Spitz is not having a good time.
He's really not.
All the media outlets, journalists, they're constantly asking him for a comment.
And like, what can he say?
What is he supposed to say?
One of the bigger comments statements that he repeats is something along the lines of I know you guys want to ask me about my son Kyle.
My son Kyle was groomed by a woman 20 years older than him.
Her name is Tara.
She somehow convinced him to move and she turned him into this little puppet, doing whatever she wants, you know, spiraling into the clutches of a satanic cult.
I hate Tara.
He just really fucking hates Tara.
So I don't know.
He's just like, stop asking me.
I hate Tara.
And no offense, but why does the world care about some random guy named Kyle?
He's not even a kid.
And sure, Tara doesn't sound like a great person, but there's so much going on in the world right now.
Who is Kyle?
Does it have to do with the fact that Kyle, Michael Spitz's son, has a viral video where he was shot?
The first video of Kyle to go viral is from the end of 2023.
And it's of his stepdad threatening to kill him.
More specifically, threatening to blow his brains out.
Kyle starts recording- Kyle's dad, trying to blow Kyle's brain out kyle's stepdad.
So michael is kyle's biological dad, but kyle is recording a video of himself and kyle's stepdad is like i'm gonna blow your brains out.
Kyle starts recording this whole interaction and when his stepdad moves to leave, kyle is following him into the hallway to confront him like do it then, do it then.
I'm gonna show this to the police.
I'm gonna show this video.
The stepdad decides to play the game before learning the rules, because he essentially fucks around and finds out.
He shoots his gun near Kyle's face and you see it on the video.
And then you see the camera pan down and these droplets of blood just dropping onto the hallway floor.
It is unclear if this is intentional, but he just ends up clipping Kyle's ear.
It's an interestingly non-fatal injury.
However, during the standoff with the police, the stepdad self-exits.
What?
So was it like attempt murder or was it... It was an attempt murder.
Like he literally tried to kill the son.
I don't know if he was trying to shoot behind the son's face to make it scary, but it's pretty much attempted.
But clipping the air is like, you are like, how much apart from, you know, murdering him.
I mean, it was definitely attempted murder by the book and he would have gone down for it.
So he self-exits.
And early sentiments when this video goes viral is, what the hell is wrong with this stepdad?
Kyle even goes onto Law and Crime to talk about how he posted that video of his stepdad threatening to kill him and ultimately shooting his ear, because you know I've been talking to a lot of people about it.
I've been trying to tell my story to multiple people, but not anybody important.
So that's why I'm doing this interview, so I can get the truth out, my side of the story.
Because there was a lot of speculation of like, did the stepdad hurt you?
Did the stepdad do things to you?
And then in the video, Kyle's mom is briefly seen in the hallway with her shorts around her ankles.
So everyone's like, ooh, was he like harming your mother?
And that's why you stepped in.
And then he shot you.
And Kyle was like, no.
I mean the mother.
She was using the restroom and she ran out because she heard this ruckus of like I'm going to blow your brains out.
And Kyle says, you know, he was just drunk.
He was high off his Annie.
He didn't like me.
He was angry, drunk.
So he got at his pistol and he shot me.
End of story.
That's it.
But then a few months later, another video goes viral.
Kyle is FaceTiming his friends when he walks in and finds his mom deceased from an apparent overdose of fentanyl.
His friends call the police.
Kyle records it.
Some people who are talking on the phone with him also screen record it.
And it's him sobbing while he finds his mom dead.
And those videos start circulating online.
What's the content of the video?
Just crying.
That's it.
You like, I mean, a lot of it is censored now, but you do see.
Like her laying there and just lots of crying and sobbing.
And a lot of the conversation though starts to change.
It starts growing from that first video.
There was always like a little bit, a few comments of like, why are we treating Kyle like a victim?
Kyle's not a victim.
But people are like, I don't know why Kyle wouldn't be a victim.
Nobody knows.
It's just like a random teenager in the United States.
Nobody really knows Kyle.
People thought he was brave for stepping up against his stepdad.
And now people think it's sad that his mom is dead.
But now the conversation is getting to Kyle is the shittiest person in the room.
What?
At the same time?
Yeah.
Was he sobbing?
Yeah, and he was just like groping her deceased body.
A series of tweets blows up.
Then a series of tweets blow up.
I can't believe my ex has gone viral, LMAO.
I hope this haunts him for the rest of his life.
What he's done to me and multiple other girls and children should haunt him.
What does that even mean?
Another tweet from her reads this man recording the video Kyle, posts revenge videos of me, other women and kids to make money off of us.
He also uses intimate images and videos of us to sell and commit fraud to line his pockets for drugs.
He actively preys on minors to this day.
He also extorts children multiple.
He participates in some BS chat room called 764 and grooms children and uses their intimate photos against them.
He keeps mine, other women's and kids' pictures stockpiled on an app called Mega on his phone.
He's a fucking freak.
How old is Kyle?
I believe at this point he's like 19, which this is how, by february, investigators have a search warrant for kyle's phones, where they find 25 albums worth of c-sam.
The albums have different names, like cut signs or just names of underage girls.
A lot of the videos focus on girls injuring themselves and carving his username onto their bodies or using blood to spell out his username on the walls of their bedrooms, and in one video it shows a mutilated chicken in the bathtub and the chicken's intestines have been pulled out to spell kyle's username.
He also has a lot of animal crushing videos which we've covered in a different podcast episode.
It is exactly what it sounds like.
Particularly those incidents always end with the animals being decapitated.
When the police go through his phone.
I mean he's just cataloging, collecting like a full time employee with health benefits at the Library of Congress, of all these grotesque CSAM videos.
But he's also distributing them with video attachments in Telegram chat groups on Discord servers and just talking about how this one is bad.
He's talking about victims that are underage nude and cutting her tongue.
Some of the victims are as young as 12.
To give you, in the span of a few months, starting from end of 2023 to february of 2024.
Kyle's stepdad is deceased, his mom is dead, Kyle has been imprisoned and now Kyle's biologic father Michael, steps up to make statements in defense of Kyle.
He's just bringing up a random mysterious woman named Tara, blaming it all on her.
Until Michael Spitz is also randomly arrested.
What the hell is going on with the Spitz family?
Michael Spitz defends Kyle the entire way through.
But not only that, he starts reaching out to one of Kyle's underage victims to convince her to delete all evidence against Kyle and to send Kyle photos while he's in jail.
Clean photos, he said.
He literally used the word clean.
He also gave Kyle, the victim's email address so that Kyle could reach out to her and still torment her while he's in jail awaiting his trial.
It got to the point where there is evidence and police write this in a memo that the little girl tells Michael the adult she's 15.
She tells him Michael, I'm only 15 years old.
Kyle has been grooming me for months.
I wasn't lying about it.
Kyle isn't a good person at all.
He claims he's not a PDF file, but he is.
When his mom died he posted pictures of her all over the internet and said he killed her.
Everything everyone is saying about your son is completely true.
I'm sorry i didn't tell you sooner, but i was just afraid of kyle.
Michael also helps Kyle reach out to another one of his victims, and that victim ends up self-exiting later that year in the United Kingdom.
So now Kyle and his dad Michael, are in jail, and soon after, another video of Kyle starts going viral.
It's recorded in the bathroom and a girl is seen pushing Kyle's head down the toilet, asking if he's ready, and then she uses her foot to keep his head inside the toilet while she flushes over and over again.
Additional I mean, it appears he got off on um having his head flushed down the toilet.
Oh he, he consented to that.
Yeah, How do we know that?
His reaction?
Yeah.
And additionally, another ex came forward and said that he liked to consume his own fluids.
So with that, it just it exposed that Kyle has been a longtime huge member of an online cult.
And he went by the username Criminaloli.
And it's a splinter group. of 764 called Harm Nation.
He has pled guilty, where he has agreed to 15 to 30 years in prison, a quarter million dollar fine and five years of supervised release.
Before his arrest he posted online I have a total of over 2600 victims.
My goal is to reach 3000 before I get feted.
Feted is an online slang for basically taken down by the feds.
He said he had 2,600 victims?
Yeah, I don't know how accurate that is, but it does seem like there are a lot of victims.
And he only got 15 to 30.
Yeah.
Likely get out even earlier.
Yeah.
And he was 19.
Yeah.
It's called nihilistic violent extremism.
People who believe in nihilistic, violent extremism.
They believe that nothing in life really matters, which it's complicated.
Maybe it's a little bit aligned with nihilism.
Nihilism people have very different opinions about the philosophy, but they believe.
Life is just something that happens.
It doesn't really have a meaning.
Morals are just a set of arbitrary rules that people made up to argue about, and nothing really has a purpose.
There's another Fight Club quote that a lot of these people who believe in this abide by, which is you are not a beautiful and unique snowflake.
You are the same decaying organic matter as everyone else and we are all part of the same compost pile.
We just are.
We just are and what happens just happens, which is a depressing, albeit totally fine outlook on life, as long as you don't really do anything about it, specifically to harm other people.
A gloomy outlook on life does not have to impact anybody else.
But nihilistic, violent extremists think that there's no point in life so they're just going to end yours just to make a point, which seems like the coherent thought of a rock at the bottom of the creek.
The FBI states.
They literally have no purpose for their violence.
There's no reasoning.
They're not trying to change anything in society.
They're not trying to promote a specific outcome.
Some threat actors may be engaging in criminal activity solely for sexual gratification, social status or a sense of belonging, or a mix of any of the other reasons that may not be ideologically motivated.
Experts have stated this is pretty bad, because a lot of incels have highly nihilistic outlooks on life.
They believe that the current social order and hierarchy are unchangeable no matter what you do.
So they're just waking up to the matrix.
That's what they think.
They think that they live in a world manipulated by women and see themselves as a group who has woken up to that reality.
And basically they're going to outsmart the game by killing people and being misogynist.
I don't know what game they're playing.
I don't even know what they're winning.
I don't think they know either.
They strike me as people who don't necessarily have a lot of action upstairs or downstairs, a seemingly unfortunate, deadly combination for young men on the internet.
It also is just like an oddly narcissistic view.
Most women I know are just like trying to be alive.
That's it.
We're just trying to pay taxes and read a book and go to the beach sometimes.
That's it.
No thoughts of male population domination.
Not even a slight interest.
It's crazy.
And one particular group of incels turned nihilistic, violent extremist, has gotten onto the radar of the FBI and Europol and most nations in the world.
764.
The FBI has now called the organization a domestic terror organization.
The head of the FBI Counterterrorism Division says we have seen a lot of bad things, but this is one of the most disturbing things that we're seeing.
They describe 764 and its splinter groups.
So these are groups that start with members of 764 that decide that they're going to start another group, but they're going to maybe niche it down a little bit more.
So some are more violent than 764.
Some are more focused on younger victims.
Some are focused on male victims.
Like it's just a different sectors and they're all part of one big community.
Is this like at all related to the nth room, or is it they do similar things but not related?
They do similar things but it's not related.
It seems like every single country has some variation of this.
But I will say for 764, they seem a lot more connected nthroom.
It's like sick people going into chat rooms to watch sick things and pay money to see sick things and if you like sick things you might end up in multiple different chat rooms with sick things and sick people.
But 764 seems like almost like a community, Like a lot more organized.
Yeah, a lot more organized.
There's key figures that everybody knows.
Anthroms.
You have maybe two figures that everybody knows and nobody really even knew them until maybe after the arrest they became more well-known.
764, they're all known by their usernames.
And so you've got key members of each splinter group of 764 and they keep spawning new ones.
Are they still around?
Yeah.
Wow.
The FBI says they are a network of nihilistic, violent extremists who engage in criminal conduct in the US and abroad, seeking to destroy civilized society through the corruption and exploitation of vulnerable populations, which often includes minors.
The network's accelerationist goals include social unrest and the downfall of the current world order, including the US government.
The FBI has more than 250 open investigations into this group.
Every single one of its 55 field offices, so they have like a field office in every state and some, all of them have cases related to 764, every single one of them.
They currently assign about 10 new cases related to 764 to a field office every single week.
Is 764 US specific or international?
It started in US, but now it's completely international.
It does seem like it is mainly English speaking.
You have a lot of victims in the US, Canada, UK, and Eastern Europe if they speak English.
And Turkey had 901, which is a splinter group of 764.
So the last case that we did with the beheading, that case with Semih Celik.
He was part of a lot of these groups.
And 901 is the splinter group of 764 in Turkey.
Why is it called 764?
Oh wait, I feel like you talked about it, right?
No, you're gonna, well, you're gonna, the founder, the zip code starts with 764.
I thought it was something dark.
I thought it was gonna have like a twisted meaning.
It's like living in Los Angeles.
Yeah, where is 764?
In Texas.
They just took the first three digits of their zip code and made 764.
Yeah.
And it's like a weeds.
You take one out and it just re-sprouts and re-sprouts.
And the FBI says, we're dealing with a new breed of criminal organizations.
It primarily exists in the virtual world, but causes very real harm.
So their main objective, 764, is like the end rooms.
Enthrums.
Find children, blackmail children, exploit them into creating CSAM and, once they've done that, convince them to livestream their own deaths.
The FBI says they are orchestrating one of the most heinous online child exploitation enterprises we have ever encountered.
A network built on terror, abuse, and the deliberate targeting of children.
Another FBI agent says, it's like trying to catch smoke.
These groups are constantly shifting, rebranding, and creating new aliases to stay ahead of us.
And their only ideology is violence.
Sergeant Lanier and his team show up to this apartment complex outside of Unit 112.
That's the unit.
And they're talking to a woman named Heather and her daughter.
And she's confused, but she's answering all their questions.
I mean, yeah, we have a two bedroom unit.
Police already know that.
And I live here and they already know that.
It's Heather, her boyfriend, Mike, her underage daughter, her underage son.
So the police, they're very intrigued by Mike.
Does he go by any nicknames?
No, just Mike.
Why?
Has he ever been in trouble before?
No, that's a lie.
Well, maybe it's the truth for her, but objectively, it's a lie.
He's currently serving 10 years probation for a third degree felony.
But the police are here because there were videos being uploaded onto a Discord server.
Lots of videos, all CCM.
And not only that, the account is operated by the founder and creator of 764.
And all the IP addresses are located...
Coming back in to Unit 112.
This is the founder of 764?
Yes.
Mike?
Heather's boyfriend.
And she doesn't know it?
Is that what it is?
When did he move in with you?
And she's explaining, well, April of 2021.
The videos were being uploaded onto the server starting March of 2021.
Which means Mike is not the founder and creator of 764.
It's Heather's underage son.
And how old is this son?
16.
But he started it when he was 15.
764 is a group started on Discord and Telegram and it's kind of the American nth room's.
The FBI states they probably have thousands of victims, and some victims that they've seen are as young as nine years old.
They say the more gore, the more violence that raises your status within the group.
So Anthrum, it's more of you post videos, you get money for the videos.
This is like you get power and praise.
So not even for money.
A lot of these people aren't making money.
They're just sick and twisted.
Yeah, a lot of these people are not making a single dollar.
There are some who are just in it for the money, but a good chunk of them are not in it for the money.
Yeah, yeah.
I can only imagine.
There's a million illegal things you could do to make money.
Exactly.
And this is beyond that.
I think yeah, it's like a badge of honor within some of these groups to actually do the most harm to these victims.
They have been described as a network of quote young sadists, child predators and extortionists.
Their motto is no lives matter, which is now also the name of a splinter group of 764.
They idolize death.
They seek purification of mankind through violence.
In several court documents of 764, it's described by the DOJ as, quote members of 764 seek to desensitize young people to violence, breaking down societal norms regarding engaging in violence and normalizing the possession of, production and sharing of explicit CSAM.
Just take Samuel, for example, who died by lighting himself on fire.
The 15 year old girl behind it is from Eastern Europe.
The Washington Post tracked her down, interviewed her.
She's completely anonymous, so I can't even tell you her name, even though I would very much like to.
We're going to call her Diane.
Diane says in the interview that the day that she essentially egged Samuel on to the point of his death and watched it through the little live stream, she says that was her big break.
It was a competition we were in of like who could do the worst thing.
So I obviously felt very cool that day.
Wait, is there anything happened to her?
No.
No consequences?
She did have to go to therapy.
Court-appointed therapy.
Court-mandated therapy.
That's freaking crazy.
So nobody was in trouble.
Yeah.
And I think a lot of the reason is a lot of people who speak English in other countries abroad.
And I'm not saying this, that the U.S. takes CSAM and child exploitation seriously.
Clearly not.
Right.
But a lot of other countries abroad take it even less seriously.
And so you'll have a lot of – she was – like her devices were taken from her.
They found tons of CSAM on there, and she got court-mandated therapy.
Whereas a lot of the 7-6 members that are either US citizens will get extradited and they're all – a lot of them are in Europe trying to run, I think, like the bigger names that are making a little bit of money from the CSAM and they run a lot of their own servers.
A lot of them are getting extradited from Europe.
One of them was arrested in Greece, but they're an American citizen.
What?
And a lot of the American 764 higher up members are getting a little bit more time in jail.
But it's, yeah, it's like nothing.
She thought it was cool.
You know what else she thought was cool?
Her screen name was FMLK.
I was trying to figure it out.
Like, fuck my low life.
But that's FMLL.
Turns out it's literally MLK, Martin Luther King's name, with F as in like, fuck him.
Yeah.
The ones that are extorting kids, they're getting off on all of this.
And she is seemingly one of them of trying to feel powerful.
And I will say some of them are here for the money.
There are messages that were uncovered where people some members that are higher up are catering towards an audience, with one of the audience members saying these are too old.
I need them to be about four or five. years old, instead of 12.
A member of 764 goes by Brad online, that's his nickname.
He knows exactly who he's looking for, which is someone young, someone who wants emotional support, someone he can easily manipulate.
He finds a 14 year old girl on Discord, convinces her that they're in love and for her to send photos without clothes.
Victims are chosen by age for obvious reasons, but also because the blackmailers feel like kids are easier to manipulate.
So he convinces her to send photos of herself.
And the second that those photos are delivered, he is no longer Brad.
He is the founder of 764 Group on Discord.
She's talking to the founder.
He's bragging about what he's going to do to her, to his Discord server saying things like I got a good target.
Girl, I've been grooming since December.
This girl will do anything.
She's scared as shit.
He blackmails her into carving his screen name into her thigh, which is a common thing.
It's called fan signing.
A picture was shown to a judge of a young girl with the words no lives matter carved onto her chest.
Sometimes it's swastikas, sometimes it's 764, sometimes it's random patterns, most of the time it's usernames, And the usernames are sick.
And a lot of these, they're so deep, it's scarred for life.
Like this is going to be on a lot of these victims' bodies for the rest of their lives.
Some of them will say like Brad is a pedo.
And they'll make them carve that into their bodies.
So it's not just limited to screen names.
There's no limit to the vile nature of these individuals.
Brad starts forcing the victim to do things like drinking from a toilet bowl.
And...
Another thing is flushing their head down the toilet.
Turn a bathtub of water red.
You can't stop until it's red.
Lick sharp objects with blood on there.
In one picture, a girl is holding up a piece of paper that says SYN, SYN, and FLAR.
These are two usernames and it says sin and flour abuse children and she has her tongue sticking out over the paper and blood is dripping down because she was forced to injure her tongue.
I mean to get these types of pictures of abuse is seen as a brag.
It's seen as a flex.
It went from people posting their watches on their car emblems to this.
This is a flex, like i.
There are videos of girls getting unclosed filming themselves.
They're in clear distress.
Depending on the video, they will either stare into the camera and repeat demeaning phrases or they'll just look very zoned out.
In one Discord chat there's a girl streaming and she's crying.
She's cutting off her hair and she's begging the Discord members like, please leave me alone.
And a guy's voice just tells her angrily, it's chopping time.
I want you to take the hair that you just cut off and I want you to stick it in your mouth like it's just very demeaning.
Many are forced to use objects such as knives and bottles in places where they should not be placed.
In other video series produced by a group of real-life dementors, a girl is blackmailed into stabbing her cat to death.
Another has to choke her family dog.
There's one video of a girl sitting on the floor leaned up against the wall.
She's crying and there are words and blood behind her on the wall.
I sold my soul to username in question.
I couldn't read the username, it was messy, but There are countless victims that are forced to harm their own pets.
That seems to be like a thematic favorite.
Dog napping their neighbor's dog, killing it via stomping.
A lot of the animals' remains are dismembered and then forced to spell out usernames.
One member of 764 does an anonymous interview where they state that the worst thing that they have ever seen is.
I've seen kids getting tortured, getting their limbs cut off slowly.
So this doesn't seem like it was done right by 764 members, but they would find these gore videos online and they would also spread those.
Another one is so scary specific, but he says that he saw a man get his head severed and then a shotgun placed inside the severed head and fired.
Some say the worst torture comes from girls who have to use sharp objects to carve like inside.
Another video shows members forcing a victim to swallow razor blades on camera.
In other videos, the victims will be forced into injuring themselves and then pouring alcohol all over straight into their injuries.
A lot of the victims are minors, meaning that they are doing all of this whilst hiding in their closets.
A lot of times you'll see them with rags in their mouth biting down so they don't scream because they're trying to hide it from their parents.
And if people are like, why?
Okay, the promise is revenge and it's not empty.
There are reports of victims' homes being broken into, a window smashed, a Molotov cocktail thrown inside the house.
Thankfully nobody was harmed.
Other reports of victims' homes being swatted.
Other reports of parents getting fired because people will send these types of videos to their parents' place of occupation, to their schools, to their churches, to their family members, to all of their friends.
There was another instance where a victim was pregnant.
A member of the organization threw a brick through her window and the sudden shock caused her to go into cardiac arrest and she lost her baby.
Oftentimes, members of 764 will send videos of themselves taking random dogs from the shelter and beating them for fun, to instill fear in their victims.
Because at this point, to this point where you get these types of videos, they already have their addresses.
They already have all this information about them.
There's an audio message from a member of 764 to his victim where he aggressively threatens her.
You fucking bitch.
I don't give a fuck what you think about me.
Hate me, love me.
I don't really care.
Trust me, you will regret this every day for the rest of your life.
I mean, all I asked was for you to send me some videos and that's it.
But no, you wouldn't listen.
So this is all your fault.
And I know that you won't really feel fear or anything, you know, because you probably think what can I even do?
You don't know.
Things won't work like that.
You will be very much aware of what kind of person I am.
And if you're not, don't worry, because in two to three weeks, or even in a month, you'll definitely see.
Some former members of 764 say they regret what they did, such as the 15 year old girl Diane that forced Samuel to light himself on fire.
She says very unconvincingly, I feel very bad for what I did.
It's something that happened when I was in a bad space.
I feel like this is going to haunt me for the rest of my life.
I sure hope it does haunt you to the point where you know no peace.
It's just kind of wild that she's acting like I made two very small mistakes of trying to encourage two people to die.
And then I laughed about it while I watched it happen.
Samuel is not her only victim.
The second incident being a 15-year-old girl who she egged on to suffocate herself consuming helium.
And this is after the first guy?
Yeah.
At one point, a higher up member of 764 messages Diane.
He wants more videos of self-exit.
And she responds, I've only done two.
Sorry.
Why, why, why, why, why?
I'll do more soon.
Three years later, she now claims to be completely reformed, while also saying people say I make them do it.
Everything they do is their own choice.
I only help them pick a choice.
Hmm.
Attempts are made to blame 764.
She states that 764 found her when she was in a dark place, which prompted her to start putting other people in worse places.
The only natural viable option her smooth brain could think of to help herself feel better.
She says she would reach out to girls who are posting about how sad they are, pretending like she wants to be their friend.
But really, she's looking for cut whores.
That's what they call them.
Victims of CSAM who injure themselves.
And once she has those she'll manipulate them into sending videos and then the more videos she gets out of these girls, the more reputation she gets in.
764 and it made her feel good.
It made her feel cool.
It made her feel accepted.
Because at school, she was bullied for being, quote, weird.
Hey, why do you think they think you're weird?
Just a question.
I think you're weird.
And this is not a situation where it's victim turned predator or perpetrator, which I still wouldn't really excuse much.
But she actively sought out gore pages and joined these chat rooms because she was being bullied in school.
She just wanted to feel edgy and she wanted these people to like him.
That's how she finds Samuel.
She did not intend for him to be a cut horse.
She clearly thought he was bigger fish.
He would post about how he wants to self-exit, and her only goal was to talk to him for months to get him to follow through on it, while live streaming it for them.
His post would read things like, I'm very lost.
I have no support system.
I really think the worst part is not having anyone to talk to.
I feel like I should accept that this is the end.
Sam gets a random message from a person online and he opens it and it reads, I think you shouldn't.
I've been in your shoes before.
It gets better.
Then another one.
This time, hey, I'm looking for some new friends.
That one's username reads FMLK.
Once they start talking, she says she would like to.
She would keep saying things like you know.
What are you waiting for?
When are you going to do it?
I think the longer you wait, the worse it is now.
You can do it.
He would respond that he's scared.
He stayed up all night crying because he doesn't want to go away.
And he quote, doesn't want the story to end.
But she would just encourage him.
And then after those two deaths, she leaves the Discord server.
She says, I realize these people are scum.
I realized if I keep doing that, my life was not going to be good.
But that's not really why she leaves.
It's because the police confiscate her phone for distributing CCM.
The same video.
The same phone has videos of Samuel self exiting, but they don't do anything about it.
She was just forced into a court-mandated psych eval and had to attend therapy twice a week, which was, I believe, paid for by the government.
She says that she believes she's a victim in all of this too.
You know saying one of the older members of 764 must have groomed her because she wanted to make him happy, so she would, you know, do all these crazy things.
Not that she would do anything, but like she would make other people do things.
She said, if I wasn't groomed, I wouldn't have done those things.
And everyone's like, no, you're crazy.
The insane thing is Samuel's mom wasn't even told about what happened.
She was told by investigative reporters from the Washington Post later on.
Even with FMLK gone, there are so many other people that are forcing victims to carve drink from toilet bowls behead, pet hamsters.
There's always the last demand is self-exit and one victim says, you don't realize how quickly it can happen. thankfully her mom stopped her another anonymous 764 member states watching these types of videos just made him i don't know it just made me feel like a type of adrenaline that i guess a normal person can't feel i don't know how to explain it but it made me happy i guess Another one is later asked by authorities when caught.
They ask him, why are you doing this?
He just responds, I don't know.
I like the blood.
Another one explains I just like the faces people make when they're in pain, like when they're hurting.
I don't know something about like the faces.
Remember Kyle, the one that likes to get his head flushed down the toilet that had his ear shot by his stepdad.
He says, well, I've just always kind of been a psychopath.
And I just always wanted to watch girls inflict pain upon themselves for me.
My earliest cut sign I ever got was like, Back in 2016, it was a single K for Kyle.
Another member says, I mean, I don't really feel regret.
I mean, I don't really care at the end of the day.
It's just fucking cuts.
It'll heal eventually and it's all going to be over.
Another says I only joined 764 because my friend he got me into it and I was just kind of bored so I didn't really have anything to do.
How are they talking?
Like, are they interviewed or are they just messaging online?
These are the ones that have been arrested.
So the authorities are like, hey, you're 17.
Why are you doing this to other 17 year olds, to 16 year olds, to 12 year olds?
What's wrong with you?
And they're all like, I don't know.
I was just kind of bored.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I like the blood.
Yeah, this guy said that his friend introduced him to it and he was bored.
So then he got into it, but then he lost a lot of friends because a lot of his friends knew that he was in 764.
So it seems like in some communities, 764 is like a thing.
It's not even like a, oh my God, you're in 764?
I'm going to call the cops.
It's like oh yeah, that guy's in 764, so like we don't talk to him.
Oh yeah, he's a weird one.
Yeah, like don't talk to him, he's scary.
He's like apparently he's in 764, so he lost a lot of friends that way and he says i mean it kind of made me sad that i lost my friends, but then i got used to it so i don't really care.
That's what makes you sad.
He also said that the youngest victims he's ever had is nine years old, One very outspoken survivor by the name of Trinity.
She says they loved watching me in pain.
They fed my tears and I fed their desires.
I told them I loved it.
I told them I wanted more.
But in truth, I was just like a mindless slave at that point.
I was 14 when I was groomed by members of 764 and I was exploited for three years.
It just became so painful.
I didn't feel real.
Like I didn't feel human.
So she has been trying to share this story with her mom.
And she's like, we've been trying to tell this story and nobody's listened.
Nobody believes it.
It's yeah.
Yeah.
As for anyone who might wonder why she fell for it, why she kept listening, she says abuse was really familiar to me.
She says that she was abused previously by a close male family member.
So quote I felt like I still needed that.
I still felt like I needed male validation in a terrible way and it's just really sick and twisted.
She runs into 764 by accident.
Her friend was just trying to show her gore videos, invited her into one of the servers And Trinity started talking.
That's how she meets members of 764, but ultimately one guy named MKUltra.
And she says, on that server, I saw a lot of girls naked, covered in blood, lots of starving girls.
There was a video of a girl who was suspended in her closet, lots of animals being tortured.
Trinity still has carvings on her chest and she says I look in the mirror now and I still see that engraved in my chest and I really wish it wasn't there.
She has MK Ultra on her stomach.
Marks all over her body princess, carved into her shoulder.
A swastika on her chest, she says, as she was forced to carve into herself, they would just watch and laugh.
She says i don't recognize a single square inch of my body.
It's all branded, cut up and bruised and I hate them so much.
And she would write in her diary during three years that this is happening and she would write things like my arm is drenched in the tears of blood.
I look at myself in the mirror, look at what these guys have done to me.
My face is snotty and red and my eyes are like fountains.
She says it was really bad, like for three years.
It would just get so much worse and she would start acting out because she has all of this trauma and her mom would.
She's a teenager, so her mom would ground her and take away her phone, which becomes a huge, huge problem when her mom takes away her phone, grounds her and if she doesn't contact these people back in a timely manner, they will follow through and they will ruin her life.
She will start begging, sobbing with her mom, please, I need my phone back.
Which I can't imagine most parents of teenagers would just give them their phone back after that.
So Trinity, she doesn't really have a choice.
If she does not get her phone back, her life is over.
So she will start screaming, banging her head on the wall, demanding her mom give her her phone back, scratching herself, pulling her own hair out.
Her mom is so confused.
Like, what the hell is wrong with my child?
And through all of this, Trinity's mom is trying to talk to her, trying to get her help, but all of the facilities nearby they have wait lists.
I mean I'm assuming she's trying to find her a care facility that can actually help her and not just put her daughter on a psych hold.
That's probably gonna just make things worse.
She calls the police when things get really desperate, mainly when Trinity runs away because she's terrified that her daughter's going to self-exit.
The worst person in all of this for Trinity is MKUltra.
He is obsessing over her, love bombing her.
She's writing in her journal, MKUltra, I can't stop thinking about him.
He's done so much to me, but why is he haunting me?
I love him so much, but he's an instigator, a predator.
I still love him.
I still want to be his little girl and I miss him. and this part is really sick but mkultra was one of the first people that she opened up about her assault how a male family member assaulted her when she was much younger clearly by this point he had manipulated her into believing that he was the only one that cared for her and he twisted everything to make it seem like he was gonna help her He says that he was so jealous of her former abuser that he wishes it could have been him.
She writes in her journal, MK, I will shed more than my own blood for you.
I will hurt others for you to show you how much I truly love you.
I am nothing without you.
Then she starts splattering the journal with droplets of her own blood.
And that's when he tries to convince her.
Kill your pets, kill your mom, and we can run away together.
The plan is that they're going to come and run away together and the two of them will kidnap little girls, whom he will essay and then kill and move on to the next and do as many as they can before getting caught.
Trinity's mom doesn't know the plan, but she could feel that something's not right.
She's terrified of her own daughter.
She says but instead of all, of this trinity does a live stream on the discord.
It's a blood bath live stream.
So it's scorching hot water and self-injury until the water is red.
She says before i got into the bathtub at that time i was a bigger girl they had me get on my knees and squeal like a pig.
She tries to self-exit in that bathtub and her mom is banging on the door until she finally opens it and thankfully she's having a mental break.
Well thankfully, as in, she saves her and she is having a mental breakdown and i guess in hindsight it's thankful because she screams at her mom and she finally tells her I can't take this anymore.
Look what they've done to me.
And she's showing all of her injuries.
Her mom rushes her to the hospital.
I mean, one look at Trinity, the doctor is like, we have to call the police.
We gotta call the police.
They get a female officer in the hospital.
They take pictures of Trinity.
Every single part of her body is covered from head to toe in carving symbols, names.
There's like not a single inch of her body that's not wounded.
Trinity's mom is freaking out because she's...
She doesn't even know how to help.
Like, who are even these people?
She doesn't know.
The police initially, they take it very seriously.
They take Trinity's phone.
They're making sure that she's under protective care.
They're going to find these people.
But they can't find out the password to Trinity's Apple ID.
So they say there's no evidence.
And technically, she was the one holding the knife.
So they returned the phone months later and case closed.
That's it.
So Trinity wasn't willing to provide the... She did.
But they said there's no evidence.
She tried to provide the password.
So the 764 cult forced her to make like 50 million Apple IDs.
And a lot of the messages are on Discord, where you can delete the messages and they just never come back.
But her body is proof.
Her journal is proof, you know, like there's no way she's doing this for herself.
So Trinity's mom is so pissed off that they're not taking it seriously.
And it takes three years for the police to reach out again because now they have a lead.
In a completely different country.
Trinity is from Canada.
And they just caught.
The FBI just caught MKUltra in the United States and his real name is Keir Anthony Cutler.
On his phone.
They find folders of CSAM graphic videos of murders that he seemingly downloaded from gore websites, some unknown people self exiting, which includes children.
It's unclear if he was involved in egging on those children, but they were there.
And the CSAM is described in court as quote Detective Basco located over 700 images of the worst child exploitation he has observed in his entire career.
Nearly every image showed the child to be bound or restrained, and in many cases an element of sadism was observed.
Honestly, these people are way worse even than serial killers.
Just amount of victims and the age and the reach and the evilness of these people and how many of them get away with it.
Yeah, i mean okay, not in a comparison of like death i think that would be hard to compare but in worse, in the sense of it's so hard to track and they can reach so many more people and they can cause them to be dead like, whereas in the modern age there are still lots of serial killers, but it's definitely yeah, but the feeling is that you know people say serial killer, it's like the worst thing.
But these people you don't even know them, like.
They are so scary and they're talking to kids all day long And most of them are kids.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
And so I wonder, like, what they're going to be like 10 years later, you know?
And I think with a lot of serial killers just from years, right is a lot of them have cool off periods and a lot of them, to some degree, value their lives and they value the risk of trying to get this fleeting moment of satisfaction by taking another life.
A lot of these people, members of 764, when they're interviewed they're They just seem like it didn't really even matter.
Like the type of CCM content that they were getting.
Yeah, it was cool.
I liked it for a second, but like it really didn't mean anything to me.
It's so like it's not even like this is all I've ever wanted in life.
So I'm done now.
It's like, yeah, whatever.
So I'm just going to keep doing it because nothing's hitting.
I see.
It doesn't even feel that real to them.
No.
Wow.
And this is what he's done to Trinity.
This guy named MKUltra, Keir Cutler.
But he's not even the leader and founder of 764.
How old is he?
He's 19.
How old is he?
How old is he?
19.
The founder is Bradley Cadenhead.
He is 15 years old when he creates 764 and they have thousands of members who extort these kids to gain status in the group.
They have CSAM.
They work together to threaten dox harass, assault and ultimately try to drive their victims into self-exiting.
The purpose is to be evil.
It's not about the money.
Money is sometimes important, but pain is the currency.
Pain is the goal.
Eventually, with enough people complaining, online Discord starts running investigations to cut down on the CSAM that's being distributed.
Why Discord and why Telegram is.
There is no email verification needed for the two platforms, meaning you can put in a random ass email.
You don't have to go verify it on your email account.
So you could literally just put at gmail.com and then join these servers.
And they did it because they want to give people more privacy, right?
Yes.
So there's no email verification.
I mean, I don't think... I know a lot of older people think Discord is like a cesspool of crime.
And so is Telegram.
I do know that both of the platforms are... incredibly important in a lot of countries even outside of the u.s for providing privacy for people who might be protesting very scary governments maybe even in the u.s so there's a lot of reasons that people need these platforms but of course there's going to be bad actors So they get on Discord and we don't know how many accounts Discord found that were spreading CSAM, but we do know 58 of those accounts were all linked to one person, Bradley Cadenhead, or how he called himself the CP God.
764 is also, like I said, the first few digits of his zip code, which was not very creative, rather idiotic.
He clearly did not think that the police were coming for him, because his laptop was open when he was arrested and he had 20 different images and videos open of CSAM, just like out there in the open.
He also had a group called No Feds Paradise where he bragged.
I've already been reported to the FBI 15 times and they haven't done shit.
So he created when he was 15.
Yes.
He was caught when he was 16.
Yes.
So a year in, he was caught.
Yeah.
But the group has grown and keeps going yeah, yeah.
So hyatt, members of 764 took over 764, and now there are even more high profile splinter groups.
Harm nation seems to be one of the bigger ones.
There's one called sewer.
That's big cultist, no lives matter is a big one.
Um Maniac murder club, that one to get entry you have to murder someone and have video proof.
Okay, so they caught the main guy.
Yeah, but it didn't matter In fact, it actually made it worse Really?
Because a lot of these splinter groups, they were trying to up each other.
Like, who's going to be the new Bradley Cadenhead?
So he didn't scare them?
No.
They laid low for a little bit, but no.
Ultimately, it just made it worse.
And I think the reason again that they're not very scared is, and I don't know.
I'm not trying to armchair analyze, but it does seem like teenagers are less prone to understanding.
It does seem like people who are maybe 16, 17 are less able to grasp severe consequences.
That makes sense.
So maybe they're not as scared and it's even edgier that they're getting, quote, fetid.
Bradley's life story is summarized and presented in court in very simplistic villain origin story-like structure with random pleas of sympathy scattered around.
Parents divorced at 10, Bradley is sad.
He has no support system since he gets bullied at school.
Bradley drops out of school at 15.
His parents clearly are not present, and he spends every waking moment of his entire teenage existence on Minecraft, where he stumbles upon disturbing content, which disgusts him, but also he's intrigued.
One thing leads to another, and Bradley goes by the alias Felix and Brad and opens up one of the most disturbing online cult-like communities called 764, where they can sexploit underage girls into harming themselves and providing CSAM.
Court documents state that he has been hooked and addicted to violent images since he was 10 years old.
At one point, he threatened to bring weapons to his place of education.
His dad has come out and said Bradley was only 15 when he committed his crimes.
I don't want to say it in an attempt to excuse it, but to point out that he was a victim at one point.
It seems like he did join this group called the Order of the Nine Angles.
They're like a neo-Nazi satanic group.
Talked about them.
Yeah, we're going to talk about them a little more, but...
So this is kind of an inspiration of that, 764 is.
He says about Bradley.
I pray that he will get the help he needs to heal from what was done to him and that he will understand what he did to others.
I also pray that his victims will find peace and healing and won't continue the cycle of victimizing others.
Now, side note, I didn't see any evidence of Bradley being a victim in the sense that he was victimized in the way that he targeted other people, but I did.
I mean, I did see reports that his home life wasn't great and he was bullied in school, which was very serious and clearly contributed to a mental health decline for him, and he resorted to injuring himself as well.
But the statement from his father comes off rather fucking annoying to many netizens.
For him to say that Bradley needs to be healed from what was done to him and what he did to others.
That's not to diminish the impact of bullying.
But to like compare what was done to him to what he's done to others.
This kid has posted on Discord.
I make bitches eat their house pets and injure themselves for four hours straight.
And I got proof.
He's bragging.
He's also posted CSAM that involved a literal baby, an infant that he obtained on the internet.
He brags to have collected several terabytes of CSAM material that he would sell and make 10000 a day, for which Authorities state is very unlikely because he doesn't seem money motivated.
He seemed sadistic and just pain motivated, but he bragged about it.
His Discord mods called him, quote, Felix the CP God.
Side note, he also would go by the name Felix, along with Brad, and there were fbi found pictures of victims that were forced to carve things like.
Brad is a pedo.
I heart cp god 764.
Weirdly enough, court documents state that he seemed less in it for the money, like i said, but for the power.
People thought he was like a cult leader and he's still known pretty highly in these communities.
The judge told him there is something horribly wrong with you.
Horribly.
Another officer working this case said, this wasn't the run of the mill see Sam rings.
This was a lot darker.
There was one video of a woman being held down and stabbed.
I mean, this case is awful.
It was the worst stuff I've ever looked at in my six years of working.
See Sam bradley getting arrested.
Does nothing for stopping 764.
They're just trying to outdo each other, create new servers.
There's one adjacent discord server called sewer, run by a 47 year old army veteran named richard.
He would message his victims threats such as Don't make daddy angry.
I'll extort you.
I have all your information.
I own you.
You do what I say now, kitten.
Does he feel an ounce of remorse or have moments of pause where he questions his morality and the purpose of being on this planet?
Although I do think the world would benefit without his existence.
No, he brags on Discord servers.
I gaslight girls and I make them fucked up.
I got a girl to cut her ass off on camera and they'll kill their pets for me too.
Is he caught?
Yes, another user responds to him.
There's no reason to do that to people.
He just responds, they beg for it.
Sure, like how you'll be begging for it in prison for them to stop.
One can only hope.
I mean, if that sounds harsh.
The DOJ has categorically stated that the evidence found on his phone was some of the most heinous imagery that they had the misfortune of seeing.
And that's just what they had left.
He posted on Discord prior to his arrest because I guess he thought that the feds were coming for him.
He gathered most of his devices, threw them into a metal barrel outside to burn.
He says in the video, bye-bye evidence.
And now that video is being used against him as evidence in court.
So there's that.
The two phones that the police were able to seize were found hidden in his air vents.
So you like take down the air vent, you put your phones in there.
I don't know why a lot of criminals think that's a bright hiding spot.
It's really not.
They always find it.
He does that.
The FBI finds it and they say it's as bad as it gets.
They said he was creating hives where he and other predators would just swarm children.
It's crazy that he got rid of quote unquote evidence, but left kept two of them.
And then recorded himself getting rid of evidence and then posted it on a platform where the feds.
I mean, it seems like the FBI are trying really hard to infiltrate these groups.
And I think that's why a lot of these groups have taken on kind of the Anthro model where you have to provide CSAM, which I was thinking about that recently.
And I was like, I wonder if, But wouldn't feds just, you know, supply what they have?
I was thinking like do the feds supply really old CCM of, maybe like CCM that you know the victims are no longer around because you know the lifespan has passed?
I don't know if it works like that.
Or...
Or with the Department of Defense the amount of money they're spending on AI and other related things.
Like, I wonder if they're allowed to create fake CSAM to infiltrate these groups.
Because I just don't know how they're getting into these groups.
But they're getting into these groups.
Right.
Okay.
If you guys have a better idea, let me know.
Because I don't know.
And I was thinking about it for a really long time.
I don't think it would be ethical for them to repurpose very current evidence or at all.
Any evidence.
Yeah.
I don't think it's ethical.
Yeah.
But then how else would they get it?
I don't know.
Or could they ask certain family members for consent?
I don't know.
Like that's what I was wondering.
Because I guess if I had a family member I would consent.
Perhaps because it's like I just want everyone taken down.
Like I want them to get them all.
Like I would be on a hellfire journey of revenge.
So I don't know.
Maybe there are people like that or maybe I don't know.
I don't know if you guys have any idea.
Let me know.
Not that it matters, but it's something.
Now, a lot of 764 members, they go on to Roblox.
Yeah, most of the victims that 764 seems to get are from roblox, for the soul.
They just seek out little kids who have mental health struggles and that's just how they work.
It's just a bunch of guys.
Some of them are underage, some of them are as old as 40 something.
They seek out kids on Discord with mental health issues or Roblox, trick them and ultimately blackmail them into creating sick videos for them.
They literally brag in their chats about how abusive they can get.
Some people give out tips.
They say gain her trust, make her feel comfortable, make her want to harm for you.
A lot of the victims that they're choosing are people who are already injuring themselves.
And now they spin it as like, do it for me because it'll make me happy.
And that's how you tap into her emotions and make it seem like you're the only person she would ever need in her life.
There are specific guides based on mental illnesses.
One reads bipolar disorder guide, how to manipulate, ED guide, how to manipulate.
The manuals would detail, quote feign attraction, draw them into influence, then turn that attention into negative reinforcement and sow self-doubt in order to bring them to the edge of a borderline episode.
When they hit that episode, continue to break them down until they seem defeated.
Court documents detail a tutorial found in one of the members' houses where it talks about how easily you can get CSAM.
All you have to do is get a VPN.
Create a new email with no name or phone number attached.
Get a Twitter account.
Make a tweet with this type of template.
They insert the template.
Trading now got loads of stuff.
DM me hashtag.
I'm not gonna include the hashtag, but there's apparently three hashtags that you have to use in order for this to work.
Then you add a Discord or Telegram handle because quote, this makes it way faster.
And you just have to steal once, because you steal once, then you have a file and then you can keep trading that file for more files.
And by the end of the month you can get like 200 gigabytes of content, which is about 30 hours or more of HD video or 50000 pictures or more.
People say it all starts slow.
Some of them describe how they will ask their victims for very like.
They'll convince them to do dehumanizing things on a slow scale, such as like eating food off the floor.
It's not the worst thing to do in the world, but it's definitely not something you would want out there.
And then it just starts escalating and escalating.
If someone says that they're tired too early on or they don't want to send a video because they're going to sleep or some excuse like that, they'll just block them from the server.
Either they think it's too much work to continue with this victim or they feel like that victim will suddenly feel the loss of their love bombing because it's not even just one user love bombing them.
A lot of the times.
They'll bring them into the group and like 10 members will praise them and love bomb them And then suddenly it's all gone.
So they're like, oh my gosh, well, I want that back.
So now I'm gonna try to reenter the group.
And now I know I can't say no.
One victim says they kept me in a cycle of praise and then they would stop it.
And then they would ask for more just to restart the praise.
She was 10 when she starts getting abused.
One member says, let's say you're a girl.
Because I'm not extorting a boy.
This is a member of 764.
If I were to, it would be for an actual good reason.
But say you were a girl.
I would get into your head.
I would flirt with you.
Make sure you're single.
And then I'll just act like I love you and stuff.
Act all lovey-dovey.
And then I'll be like, oh yeah, i live in your town and i'm like, oh my god, i know what your area is.
Is it, by this, like just google earthing things?
Oh yeah, we should meet up.
And then, once you get your address, you'd be like, if you don't do what i say, i'm gonna come to your fucking house and kill you.
It's really not that hard.
You just gotta figure out the right people to do it to.
Another says it's mostly about bitches that send naked photos and shit online, so you would find their parents' information and be like oh yeah, I'm gonna tell your parents.
You gotta get their trust first.
You gotta act like you're not gonna do nothing to them.
You gotta promise it and then build up the relationship and then do it.
Another person who calls himself the king of extortion would write many manuals for other members which reads playing into whatever your victim struggles with will lend you the best results.
You can abuse the dopamine receptors by making them associate injuries with your voice or you telling them what to do while they're Self-pleasuring.
This will only build further trust and you can add possible blackmail if you're looking to extort the victim.
Make sure you archive everything they send you to add further to the blackmail and try to get them to trust you enough that they'll give you their full address, to quote come over and see them in the future.
This opens the doorway for doxing, which is perfect for extortion.
They will say things like I know, and I know all your names, your parents' names, your little brother's name.
I know where they work, but I'm not going to do anything as long as you cooperate with me.
These are literal messages that they sent victims.
I'm going to fuck up your life if you don't text me back today.
I'm going to find you and I'm going to R-word you.
One victim was forced to consume her father's ashes on a video chat.
Another victim, she...
She thought she was in love with Bradley Cadenhead, the founder.
She just knew him online as Brad.
She sent him intimate photos and from there the blackmail just started amping.
Up until one day she's live streaming onto the server holding her family hamster in one hand, and his voice is laughing at her.
Are you crying?
You just hear her sobbing.
If you don't take a bite out of it, i'm gonna make you do more fucked up shit than that.
Okay, hurry up, bite the head off or i'll fuck up your whole life.
She was forced to bite her hamster's head off.
Greta's mom stopped her from self-exiting.
They went to the police who didn't really do anything.
In fact, Greta's school got just call after call about how Greta is a hamster killer, how Greta is.
All sorts of nasty things.
There's also rankings of how members rank victims, with the sentiment being quote if you could get a girl that was un-groomed, then groom her for the first time.
That gave you extra status.
Other people are talking about how It really depends on how many you can get, or the types of messages or the types of torture.
People will say things like we just want to see girls throw up and then eat their throw up, burn themselves with hot spoons, just like punching themselves for members.
But they have rules that they go by.
In one interview, a member of 764 says the only rule that you have to follow is just don't cock block another person's extort.
Like if someone's already working on a victim, you don't get involved.
You just let them do it.
One victim describes it as a machine.
It's never going to be enough.
I mean, as long as they keep you under their grasp, they do it.
And there are only two ways out.
Your parents find out and you go to the police, or two.
You become too old for them to have fun anymore.
And one interesting thing to note is these members will also extort each other, with some of them saying hey, you know what the best is.
If you get a 764 member who's an older man, that's married, consuming the CSAM, you find out he has a wife.
Boom, figure out where they live, figure out the wife's phone number.
Threaten to expose him to his wife.
He will pay you a good amount of money.
Probably more money than you'll make selling CSAM.
Wow.
Yeah. like that one yeah but it's crazy because they're lining the pockets of the ccm creators so well not creators but distributors but i mean the whole point of these groups is to cause pain and destruction they just want to hurt people in the most depraved way possible until they self-exit and if you're not giving them what they want they which is for you to give your life Well, in one case, one 24-year-old man that was part of 764 in Arkansas was arrested for plotting out how to murder a 14-year-old girl who refused to give him more blackmail material.
Another man was arrested with him for producing, possessing CCM and writing on Discord quote.
Does anyone know anybody in redacted state that's willing to do kidnappings or shootings?
I just need somebody to kill this girl's grandma for me to scare her.
I'm gonna get her grandma murked.
It'll send the right message.
Thankfully, you know, nothing happens to the grandmother.
But to prove how serious he is, he doxes her with her full name, CCM pictures address, phone numbers and all the names of every family member.
But apparently that wasn't enough either because she's still ignoring him.
And allegedly, she gets a boyfriend.
He starts posting on Discord servers.
If I know someone in Redacted City who would let me stay at their house, I would actually be able to kill her while I hide.
That's where she lives.
Cops will go on her phone and see what my car looks like.
I'm determined to die.
If I gotta kill her and can't let her fuck with dudes and girls while I'm sick and miserable, I'm gonna livestream it.
I wanna kill them.
Her and her whole family so bad.
Just show up at their crib and just shoot 100 rounds in five seconds.
I didn't want to do anything because I was scared of dying or prison, but now I'm determined to die if I have to, after getting rid of her and her stupid boyfriend.
Other members pitch in on how to dissolve bodies in acid, which really only works in movies, but nevertheless, he starts getting a new phone number and harassing her with anonymous messages, threatening her, starts sending her CCM photos to her family members, he did not get to the point of physically harming her although she is psychologically harmed but he was arrested in another instance there's a recorded phone call of a girl a member of 764 on the phone with a guy convincing him to take more pills so there are girls in there too Yeah.
Some of them are victims turned perpetrators.
A lot of them are not like the 15 year old girl from Eastern Europe.
And she's just saying, how many do you have?
Okay, we'll take them.
Talking about the pills.
Just take them, come on, it's okay.
Are you gonna take another one?
Literally in that tone.
There are reports of a man live streaming himself dying in a closet, another from canada with a gun, multiple reports of survivors of 764 stating they were forced to watch live streams of other victims self-exiting.
There are at least a dozen different accounts of different deaths.
The fbi will not say definitively how many deaths are associated, but a survivor states they wanted you in the groups and they were going to ridicule you and torture you until you die.
In the UK a 764 member was arrested for trying to get a victim to live stream her exit.
And during the police interrogation he's asked.
The only thing you're concerned about is if she went through with it and if you got caught.
Not about whether she's dead or not.
He says, I don't think about that kind of stuff in the moment.
It was just stupid.
I was just saying things without thinking.
So now 764 has all of these splinter groups.
Some of them are bigger than others.
Some of them are scarier than others.
But also 764 was inspired by another group.
So it's not like, oh, it's only 764 that exists and all these splinter groups.
But they were inspired by...
Another group called the Order of the Nine Angles.
I know a lot of people call it angels.
It's angles apparently.
And the Order of the Nine Angles is a blend of Satanism, Neo-Nazism.
Yeah, I think I also called it angels as well.
It's very confusing. but I'm pretty sure it's angles.
But it's a blend of Satanism, neo-Nazism, and a touch of just brain dead.
They believe that Western society has been infected by Judeo-Christian religion, and democracy and racial equality are ruining the human race.
In order to stop this contagion, the infection overtaking the human race, the only way to ensure the human race continues in the right direction is to completely destroy society.
They also believe in magic, which nothing is wrong with that, but they're like hey, Judeo-Christianism is goofy.
Meanwhile.
They believe if you see a woman carrying around a severed head, you need to run the other way.
Not because she's a criminal, not because you're hallucinating, but because she is a goddess, a deity, and you should run from her because she's very bad luck.
And I think that should tell you they are not the brightest in the crayon box.
They're definitely the palest because they're very racist, but clearly not the brightest because I don't.
It's not that believing in goddesses or deities is goofy, but if you have to remind your followers, if you see a woman carrying a severed head, you must run.
That is very alarmingly low survival instincts and brain activity.
That is what 764 was inspired by.
Operation Restore Justice was one of the largest coordinated operations against exploitation in FBI history.
Every single one of the 55 field offices was participating.
In five days all around the US, they arrested 205 people, in association with 764 and associated groups.
When was this?
This was like a few years ago.
But even to this day, there are 10 new cases for FBI agents.
Wow related to 764 and splinter groups every single week, so it's like they had this massive operation.
They tried to target all of.
I think it was in 2022 2023, target all of the major players, but now there are new major players And even like, every time that they arrest one, they have an FBI.
They put out an alert.
And it's like last month they arrested one.
They arrested Bradley Cadenhead in 2021.
And what happened to these people when they're arrested?
Most of them will be serving.
The ones who have CSAM.
And collect it.
It's like 15 to 30 years is what I've seen so far.
And then Bradley Cadenhead is 80 years.
So their main charges is carrying CSAM.
Distributing CSAM.
And then the ones that are interacting a lot with victims, it's a lot of heavier charges.
But a lot of them are just spreading CSAM.
And they're adapting.
One post reads due to recent fettings and the Telegram founder giving in to the police and giving them higher powers over Telegram, extortion is at a massive halt.
We're in a new era, which is very optimistic.
764 is taking a break.
A lot of well-known admins like Risky, Trippy, Fail, Refusal, Praise.
These are admin names.
And like I said, it's different from Anthrim where they have these key figures that everybody knows.
They've decided to take a break due to recent circumstances.
I wouldn't advise any new gens waiting to join as the current moment in time is very hot right now.
If you're currently farming content or getting content, I would strongly suggest hold on to it.
Stay low for a bit.
Don't upload it until everything has cooled off.
Stay safe, people.
To clarify, 764 is not disbanding.
We're chilling and any other rumors are false.
Crazy.
This is back in when the whole operation happened.
Yeah.
And they put out alerts like this every time there's a new wave of federal arrests.
They say, for every Discord server they shut down, one law enforcement officer says it's like two more pop up.
And sometimes they're worse than the original one that they just shut down.
Like no lives matter.
I mean, they idolize death.
That's it.
They do everything 764 does.
But on top of that, they want members to go out and kill people.
I wonder, like, you know how AI is, like, coming out?
Like, I wonder if that's one good thing AI can prevent.
Oh, to track down?
Right, because it's like, okay, one of the limitations is there are so many sick people out there.
And the FBI agent is hard to keep up, right?
Yeah.
Like, there's not enough mods, there's not enough this.
Because this is just so alarming that they can just keep getting away with this.
The problem is I don't know if there's money in stopping it.
Because the only AI associated with this case that I was reading about is a father who was arrested for being a 764 member who made AI videos replicated after his underage daughter.
So I think AI is actually like sometimes with these people, I don't know.
I don't know if the government is willing to spend that kind of money, because it would have to be the government that spends that money.
I mean, who has that kind of money?
Yeah.
And I don't think the government cares.
I mean they care, but I don't think they care that much.
And it's just crazy how quickly they move on.
So there was one highly anticipated launch of a splinter group called 5150.
But within 24 hours that group was shut down, because they also monitor the members that are joining their group.
And they realized that one of the members had gone in and was watching CSAM. without a VPN.
So they had their home IP address.
So they're like, okay, now we're cooked as they say.
So they shut it down and then they started a new one.
But now we probably don't know what the new one is.
And it's just getting more sick.
Some of the members are taunting and they say because of all the tension on 764, which a lot of people are trying to draw attention because it shows people what to look out for.
But he says, you ever just want to a minor in front of people that hate you.
Like they're so spiteful of society.
Some of them like the notoriety.
They just like how crazy things are.
There was one who started threatening a reporter who was one of the first few on the 764 case.
And they threatened to R word her in front of her entire family before killing her and her baby.
And there is just one very sick message in one of the Discord servers that reads For years we have taken part in countless actions and provocations on social media and in real life.
For years, we've had the wrong people arrested, except for those who needed to be caught.
We directed them to the wrong people.
So we have not been caught for years.
You cannot find us.
We are everywhere.
Our actions will no longer be limited to these.
We will go even further.
We will create fake accounts, fake groups, fake platforms and we'll continue to establish and make it harder for you to find us.
You said we can't kill animals.
We killed.
You said that pedophilia content can't be created and published.
We created and published.
We will always exist.
You cannot stop us.
Leave your research and finding efforts aside.
You are working in vain.
Let's answer the most talked about questions.
Yes, we are funded.
We are supported by famous artists and politicians including abroad and domestically.
Say what you want, but you can't find it.
And because you can't find it, you will not find it.
Even if we give you the information, you will not be able to destroy us.
We will always exist and your efforts are in vain.
If you catch a group and you close it down, we will emerge with other groups.
Our real organization has yet to emerge and we will emerge at the necessary time and place.
The FBI child exploitation operational unit estimates that thousands of kids have been targeted and victimized.
She says, people are not understanding the severity, the speed at which their children can be victimized.
These are offenders that have the ability to change your child's life in a matter of minutes.
These online groups are responsible for some of the most egregious online enticement reports that we're seeing in terms of what these children are coerced into doing.
Take it seriously.
It is believed that Discord removed over 130 servers, similar to 764, banned over 34000 accounts, but they still keep going.
Samuel's former teacher says he was brilliant.
He was curious and eccentric and really like all people know about him now is that he self-immolated.
But she says a teacher hopes to get one or two like Samuel in their whole career.
He was actually valedictorian at his high school and went on to study biochemistry at the University of Minnesota.
He did have a big life event at 18 where he decided to transition.
He was assigned female at birth, but...
Everything fell apart during COVID lockdowns.
He dropped out of university, broke up with his long-term partner, cut off all communications with his family, and the last text message from his mom on his phone reads I will always be available for you, my darling.
And Samuel's mom, she seems really sweet.
She even forgives Diane, the 15-year-old girl.
She says.
I feel this person herself was vulnerable in terms of being conditioned to search for belonging by harming someone else.
I hope that she finds a more healthy state of mind.
She's saying to do that, you're already not okay.
Trinity's mom states, I felt helpless and scared and I was so sad for her.
And I just didn't know.
I didn't know what to do.
I wanted them to find evidence that Trinity was being exploited.
I wanted them to find evidence. of all the CSAM.
I knew she wasn't the only one.
I wanted them to find it all and I will never forget those pictures.
They are imprinted into my brain and burned into my brain for the rest of my life.
Another victim's mom says I don't mean to be pessimistic, but at this point in time it just feels like it's too big.
It's just like this disease that has spread throughout the world.
It could be the kid next door in their bedroom who is doing the most horrific things to another kid on the other side of the world and the parents would never know.
Trinity says, I had no other option but to give them what they wanted to quit or tap out.
So I thought I was rescued and I was taught how to fight.
Now I will never stop fighting for myself and for others because I'm a survivor and you can be too.
And that is the current ongoing case of 764.
What are your thoughts?
Let me know in the comments.
Please be safe and I will see you in the next one.
