Understanding '764': The Neo-Nazi Sextortion Ring Targeting Children

The '764' Neo-Nazi Sextortion Network

• 🎯 The FBI is investigating a cult-like network known as '764' that is blackmailing children into creating disturbing videos.
• 🚨 Every FBI field office in the US has at least one open case, with over 250 investigations nationally, highlighting the widespread nature of this threat.
• ⚠️ Victims are as young as nine years old, targeted on platforms like Discord and Roblox.

Horrific Tactics and Content

• 😨 '764' members manipulate children into filming acts of self-mutilation, animal abuse, sex acts, and even suicides.
• 🩸 The shared content includes graphic depictions of nudity, blood, animal torture, and suicides.
• ⛓️ Victims are controlled through extreme fear, with an end goal for some members to force minors into committing suicide on live stream for entertainment.

Origins and Leadership

• 🌐 '764' is believed to be an offshoot of the Order of Nine Angles, a decentralized satanic neo-Nazi organization.
• 👶 The group was founded in 2020 by a 15-year-old named Bradley Cadenhead, who was sentenced to 80 years in prison.
• 🔗 Authorities discovered the network after an anonymous tip linked a 23-year-old Queens resident, Angel Almeida, to vile posts about child sex abuse.

Warning Signs for Parents

• ⚠️ Parents should watch for children engaging in self-harm or expressing suicidal thoughts.
• 🐾 Mysterious harm or death of pets, or children mutilating themselves by carving symbols into their skin, are also red flags.
• ✍️ Writing in blood or anything resembling blood on a child's body or belongings should be a serious concern.

Ongoing Investigations
