Ohio gamer gets 15 months prison for setting up swatting in Wichita after losing a $1.50 bet.
I bet that doofus is more upset about the two year restriction from playing video games than the 18 months in prison. Considering someone was killed as a result of his actions, I think the sentence is way to easy.
this one is really unfortunate because it doesn't tell the whole story. the kid had been cyber bullied, cyber stalked, doxxed and all his boxes were pwned. The whole thing really just got out of hand. I believe Congressman Tyson got involved at some point, but he's a humble man.
Wow. I guess he is excused for this then. Poor thing.

Yeah. Poor thing. He was just misunderstood.

So you take some money and the claim ticket and go redeem your stuff from the pawn shop. Yeah, I know, that probably means something else totally stupid and pointless that shouldn't be part of any intelligent conversation.

Elderly Tennessee man is Swatted by UK minor working for a Tennessee man wanting the elderly mans Twitter handle @ Tennessee.

Swat surrounds his house and he has a heart attack. UK minor told authorities he had killed some one and would detonate pipe bombs if arrested.

This occurs after multiple harassments in an attempt to get the valuable handle.
