A minecraft
hacker group who extorted, swatted, and even did bomb threats to many people. They had many members, including the leader, named George. The group died down in 2019. They were known for many attacks on Minecraft HCF servers, most notable of which was VeltPVP
George was arrested in June of 2018 for swatting schools in the UK and for many series of bomb threats. In July of 2018, he was released on £250,000 bail, with conditions that he must reside within the UK and that he not join or have contact with any
victims or VeltPVP. He pleaded not guilty to bomb threat charges. In September of 2018, it was decided that there was sufficient evidence to bring him to trial for the crimes. After many delays, his trial began on
January 7, 2020, and on
January 21, 2020, he was found guilty of all charges. He was placed on house arrest pending formal sentencing. On March 29, 2020, George was sentenced to spend between 30 and 45 years in prison without the
possibility of parole. On July 13, 2020, George's conviction was overturned, and he was freed from prison. He negotiated a plea bargain for his new trial for 3-7 years in prison, though he has yet to be sentenced for this.
