Thomasz Szabo (26) of Romania, pleaded guilty to being the leader of a years-long conspiracy that targeted victims across the US with "swatting" and bomb threats. Szabo and his co-conspirators falsely reported ongoing violent emergencies at government buildings, houses of worship, and private residences, including the homes of senior government officials. One of those subordinates bragged to Szabo: "I did 25+ swattings today and created massive havoc in America; $500,000+ in taxpayers wasted in just two days." Szabo was extradited from Romania in November 2024. He pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy and one count of threats and false information regarding explosives and will be sentenced on 23 Oct 2025.
This lunatic and his gang enjoyed taking advantage of the American police state and knew full well about the waste of money this cost taxpayers. There is no reporting of any injuries or fatalities Thomasz Szabo caused, but police may have responded to one of his hoaxes which may have allowed a suspect to flee a real crime.
