The FBI has uncovered an international pedophilic, Satanist extortion cult after arresting a single 23-year-old in Queens on gun possession charges, reports Ali Winston for The Guardian.
The cult, known as 764, has allegedly victimized dozens if not hundreds of minors, according to law enforcement.
On September 12, 2023, the FBI issued a public warning about 764, noting the group is “deliberately targeting minor victims on publicly available messaging platforms to extort them into recording or live streaming acts of self-harm and producing child sexual abuse material.”
The group appears to target children between the ages of eight and 17, the advisory notes, and particularly focuses on young people of color, youth identifying as LGBTQ+ or those struggling with mental health issues.
The group uses wildly popular games like Roblox, gaming communications platforms like Discord and Twitch, and curated playlists on the streaming service SoundCloud.
The group is also an offshoot of the Order of Nine Angles (O9A), which has been labeled a terrorist organization by American authorities and combines Hitler worship, Satanism, and Wiccan tenets.
