Neo-Nazi sextortion ring that blackmails teens into making sick videos has become so prevalent every FBI office in the US has open cases
A sick neo-Nazi sextortion ring that blackmails teens into making sick videos has become so prevalent across the US that every FBI field office in the country has at least one open case on the group, according to a shocking new report.
The FBI currently has more than 250 open investigations into the group, known as “764,” among other aliases, the agency
This cult-like network has ties to neo-Nazis and Satanism, officials said.
Its members target young teens on platforms like Discord and Roblox and intimidate them into filming themselves posing nude, torturing family pets, cutting symbols into their own bodies and other acts of “psychological torment and extreme violence,” the FBI said.
“764 is a network of nihilistic violent extremists … seeking to destroy civilized society through the corruption and exploitation of vulnerable populations, which often include minors,” the agency said.
Bradley Cadenhead founded the group in 2020 and named it after part of his own zip code.
Since then, its reach has spread throughout the United States and beyond.
All of the agency’s 55 field offices have at least one 764-related case, FBI assistant director David Scott, who leads the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division, told ABC.
Authorities two suspected members last month: Prasan Nepa Leonidas Varagiannis, a.k.a. “War,” 21, and Prasan Nepal, a.k.a. “Trippy,” 20.
The pair are accused of targeting children as young as 13 years old online, intimidating them into making explicit videos.
“This content includes ‘cut signs’ and ‘blood signs’ through which young girls would cut symbols into their bodies,” the FBI said in a statement.
Members share these videos among themselves and use them to blackmail victims into increasingly disgusting acts, the FBI said.
Police arrested a 17-year-old girl in Vernon, Connecticut, last year for allegedly calling in bomb and “swatting” schools and places of worship,
Investigators discovered photos of her posing nude, mutilating herself, and a shot of a nude Barbie doll with “764” written on its face.
The FBI caught wind of the network in 2021, after arresting one of its members in Queens on gun charges.
that 764 is an outgrowth of an older, larger organization known as the Order of Nine Angles — which the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) called a “decentralized, Satanic, neo-Nazi organization” bent on the overthrow of Western governments.
