A member of the 764 Criminal Enterprise has plead guilty to some truly disgusting behavior.
Jairo Jaime Tinajero, 25, pleaded guilty yesterday in the Western District of Kentucky to the following charges contained in the superseding information: racketeering conspiracy, online enticement, three counts of production of child sexual abuse material, three counts of distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), five counts of interstate communications of threats, cyberstalking, and conspiracy to murder Jane Doe 1 in aid of racketeering. The terms of the plea agreement specify that both parties agree to the applicability of the terrorism sentencing enhancement (U.S.S.G. § 3A1.4 n. 4).
The things that jump out at me here are the words “criminal enterprise” - which means the RICO statute is being used, and the terrorism enhancement.
Attention Conservation Notice:
The administration change in the U.S. has left a lot of bored, uncertain spooks of all sorts out there. I have been hearing about a 764 house cleaning being in the works for the last several months. Now we’re seeing some results. This pleases me, but reading about this stuff in general might horrify you. Recall the advice re: avoiding vicarious trauma. Unless you work on such things, probably best to just move along …
Ground Truth:
As I understand it, the typical flow of behavior in these cases is that the guys engage girls in their teens, then gain their trust, while collecting identifying information. Once they have something compromising, and that can be as little as a shirtless shot in a training bra, they extort additional material. This is basically a slow motion control rape from afar and there have been suicides where the scheme is uncovered after the fact.
I don’t touch this stuff due to the strict liability for images of underage victims. If I agreed to take on some work from parents of a victim, and I end up with 250ms of 60fps video, that’s not just a CSAM charge, it’s enhanced due to being fifteen or more images. I have taken a couple things like this from adults in the last couple years. The extortion angle was present in all of them.
Describing 764 as a “criminal enterprise” brings the RICO statute into play. This means that people who would previously had no criminal liability, say some well known dirtbag who runs a forum where they congregate, would now not only get charged, but they’d face a terrorism enhancement to those charges. The minimum for a terror charge is level 32 with sentences of 121 to 151 months. Something like this has been needed for a very long time.
Accelerationism:
“The 764 network’s accelerationist goals include social unrest and the downfall of the current world order, including the U.S. Government.”
Pay attention to this. If you’re not already hip to the accelerationist hazard, take a look at these.
Grey Hat Accelerationism: An emergent hyperstition?
Accelerationism: how a fringe philosophy predicted the future we live in
Basically accelerationists think we are on the edge of … something … but that the current order must be burnt to the ground before it will emerge. This is different than religious nutters with their end of days myth; accelerationists will on average be expecting some sort of post collapse improvement. There are a diverse group of newly minted belief systems that can be grouped under this heading, and the ones that require immediate attention are like 764 - they believe they need to act in order to set the changes they envision in motion. Those actions are uniformly violent - sabotage (violence against things), and terrorism (violence against innocents).
National Security Division?
The fact that this case was assigned to the National Security Division makes even more interesting. One of the things I know, thanks to the various places I lurk, is that there has been a Central/South American cartel angle to some of the cybercrime groups. The cryptocurrency world facilitates money laundering in various ways, from direct transmission to ID theft facilitating things. So while there is no doubt some hostile foreign intel in the mix, do NOT jump to thinking that is the only explanation.
Conclusion:
The existence of the internet has made a terrible mess of our “rooted in reality” concept of jurisdiction. There are behaviors that are tolerated online, which would IRL rapidly lead to groups of adult male relatives knocking the perp on his ass to make sure he was paying attention, and then administering a thorough stomping to convey the depths of their displease.
Instead, we waited decades for things to spiral up to the point where something MUST be done about it. Then we waited some more, because the reservoirs of badly behaved, already somewhat radicalized boys was of use to some people.
I am personally quite pleased that the endgame in this area has begun to emerge from the shadows. I landed a couple hits on 8chan and had a couple swing & miss events with the Crack Babies Of Kiwi Farms. Last June Patrick Tomlinson pointed out when Kiwi Farms owner Josh Moon had a really bad day. Moon’s Stochastic Terrorism As A Service is surely a rich prize for the assigned federal task force, that posting just confirmed that the task force had already been moving for at least six months.
Here’s a little wisdom for the Kiwi Farms manbabies whose chubby, sweaty little fists are balled up in rage after reading this. The ONLY coin Josh has to limit his prison time is selling out you little fuckups. If you see him out there still facilitating … he’s actually iNvEsTiGaTiNg. If he doesn’t flip, his stupid ass will be in prison until he’s my age. Now why don’t you take off your shoes, so you can do some complex math, and figure out what 121 to 151 months means in years.
