764[3] is a decentralized Satanic neo-Nazi transnational sextortion network that is reportedly adjacent to the Order of Nine Angles, a far-right Satanic terrorist network.[4][5][6][7][8][9] It is classified as a terror network by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), and is considered a terrorist "tier one" investigative matter by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).[10] The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) similarly classifies 764 as an "ideological violent extremist network", and it has been characterized as a "satanic neo-Nazi cult" by multiple sources.[9][11][12][13]

764 was founded in 2021 by Bradley Cadenhead, a teenager from Stephenville, Texas; the group derives its name from the town's ZIP Code.[14][3][15] The network is most present on Discord and Telegram and usually targets children aged 8 to 17, particularly marginalized children or those suffering from mental health challenges.[16][17][18] Victims are often forced to commit recorded acts of self-harm and animal cruelty to disseminate internally or share on social media platforms,[19][7] asked to carve names on their skin as "cutsigns" (a form of branding to show their subjugation by the group),[13][20][17] and given the end goal of committing suicide on livestream for the network's entertainment or for the perpetrator's own sense of fame within the network.[21][22]

Background

Due to the network's decentralized nature, numerous different sub-groups exist under different names; these sub-groups include CVLT, Court, Kaskar, Harm Nation, Leak Society, 7997, 8884, 2992, 555, Slit Town, 545, 6996, 404, NMK, 696, 984, 1378, 303, SR1, XVN, H3ll, and No Lives Matter.[23][22][24][25] When aggregated, the community surrounding these groups is commonly referred to as "the com", shorthand for "the Community".[22][17] Law enforcement estimated in 2024 that "the com" network includes hundreds of such members who engage in extortion and harassment using various cybercriminal tactics such as swatting or doxing, as well as thousands engaged in other cybercriminal activities.[3]

764 was founded by then-15-year-old Bradley Chance Cadenhead of Stephenville, Texas, who used the username "Felix" on Discord.[14] Cadenhead, who was bullied in school before dropping out in 2021, learned to groom and extort minors on a sextortion Discord server named CVLT.[14][3][26] CVLT, which was founded in 2019 by 23-year-old Rohan R., an Indian business student living in France, often blackmailed victims into recording child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and "degrading" acts for commercial gain.[27][28] Rohan R. told a French court that he was inspired by neo-Nazi and Islamophobic rhetoric as well as a desire to build a "reserve of slaves" to fuel his "sadism".[29]

CVLT, and later Cadenhead's 764, sought ideological inspiration from the Order of Nine Angles (O9A), with The Guardian describing the group as an "offshoot" of O9A.[30] This involved the adoption of various esoteric ideas and tenets, including neo-Nazism, Western esotericism, Satanism, Wicca, and making apparent "blood covenants" to Satan.[30][31] The network later entered a "partnership" with the neo-fascist Russian and Ukrainian "Maniac Murder Cult", which gained notoriety for attacks against homeless people.[32][22][19] The alleged leader of the "Maniac Murder Cult", 20-year-old Michail "Commander Butcher" Chkhikvishvili, was arrested in Moldova and extradited to New York where he faces federal hate crime charges for plotting to poison Jewish children.[33]

Response

The FBI has opened 250 investigations concerning 764 spanning all 55 field offices as of May 2025.[34] In September 2023, the FBI published their first bulletin warning the public of the network.[35]

In July 2024, RCMP Newfoundland and Labrador published a news release warning parents of various groups, after an anonymous tip of a child being targeted online was linked to the network.[13] Another news release reminding the public of the groups was published by RCMP a month later.[12] RCMP maintains an information page for "the com".[36]

In August 2024, U.S. Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) pressed Discord regarding "[their] failure to safeguard minors and stop the proliferation of violent predatory groups" in response to the FBI bulletin regarding 764.[37] In May 2025, FBI director Kash Patel called the group "deeply disturbing" and added that it was "critically important to understand what's out there and be aware of the threats American kids and families are facing every day".[38]

Incidents

According to Der Spiegel, 764-related arrests have been made for child pornography, kidnapping and murder in at least eight countries, including two men in Germany.[17] The FBI estimates that thousands of children have fallen prey to 764 and similar groups.[17] The Australian Federal Police claimed that they were intensifying efforts to disrupt networks linked to 764.[39]

  • In February 2021, a 22-year-old member of CVLT, Kaleb Christopher Merritt of Spring, Texas, kidnapped and raped a 12-year-old girl in Virginia, United States. He was convicted and sentenced to 350 years in prison.[40][27][20] Cadenhead's splinter group also leveraged animal torture, incest, rape, self-harm, and bestiality from their victims.[7][15][19]
  • In November 2021, 22-year-old Angel Almeida of Queens, New York, United States, was arrested for his involvement in the network and possession of a firearm while being a felon.[31][30] Found inside Almeida's house was a bloodied piece of paper with a sketch of the Zodiac Killer alongside runic symbols and other memorabilia of the Order of Nine Angles.[31] Almeida's arrest tipped off law enforcement on the 764 network.[30]
  • In November 2021, an American man who was stranded in Kyrgyzstan died by self-immolation for an audience on Discord. He had been encouraged to broadcast his suicide by a 15-year-old Eastern European girl he met online who herself had links to 764.[41]
  • 17-year-old member Nino Luciano H., known as "Tobbz", livestreamed himself attacking an 82-year-old man in March 2022,[3] and two weeks later he livestreamed his fatal stabbing of a 74-year-old woman, whom he believed to be Roma, on a 764-affiliated Discord server.[32][42][43] This was allegedly so he could "prove himself" as a member of the "Maniac Murder Cult".[32] He was sentenced to 14 years in prison in August 2023.[3]
  • In March 2023, 17-year-old founder Bradley Chance Cadenhead pled guilty to nine counts of possession of child pornography.[44] An Erath County judge sentenced Cadenhead to an 80-year state prison sentence, citing his self-described status as a "cult leader".[45][14] In March 2025, 23-year-old Rohan R., the founder of the CVLT group that inspired Cadenhead, was charged with torture and sextortion by the Paris Departmental Criminal Court.[28][46] He pled guilty to the charges, and the case was referred to the Paris Court of Assizes for a jury trial.[46]
  • After Cadenhead's arrest in August 2021, the group was led by a 21-year-old from Timișoara, Romania, named Francesco (nicknamed "Riley").[3] He was sentenced to three years in prison in August 2023 for production of child pornography, with the Romanian DIICOT citing the fact that he "subscribed to antisocial values from the Maniac Murder Cult".[32][3]
  • In December 2023, an 18-year-old man from Honolulu, Hawaii, was arrested for running a 764 splinter group.[47][48]
  • In January 2024, the Brazilian Federal Police arrested two teenage leaders of a suspected splinter group in Ananindeua, Pará, and Tabatinga, Amazonas, Brazil.[49][22] The operation led by the federal police, codenamed "Discórdia", carried out seven search warrants in five Brazilian states.[49][48]
  • In January 2024, 47-year-old member Richard Anthony Reyna Densmore of Kaleva, Michigan, United States, was indicted on federal child pornography charges.[10] Densmore, who was known as "Rabid" and ran a splinter group named "Sew3r", was later sentenced to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty.[50][21] Following Densmore's sentencing, Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department's National Security Division said that the group sought to do "unspeakable harm to children to advance their goals of destroying civilized society, fomenting civil unrest, and ultimately collapsing government institutions", he also classified the network as a "transnational threat".[21][15]
  • In February 2024, a 14-year-old from Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, who was linked to the network was arrested on charges of distributing child pornography, non-consensual distribution of intimate images, and possession of explosives.[51][52]
  • In March 2024, Kyle William Spitze, a 24-year-old, of Friendsville, Tennessee, United States, who was known as "criminal" on the network, was indicted on federal child pornography charges.[27][53] Spitze garnered notoriety in 2023 for a video of his stepfather shooting him in the ear during an altercation.[53] In December 2024, he pled guilty to four of the eight crimes he was charged for.[54] He faces 30 years in prison and lifetime supervised release.[55]
  • In March 2024, Cameron Finnigan, a 19-year-old from Horsham, UK, known as "Acid", was arrested, and in January 2025 pleaded guilty to encouraging suicide, possessing a terrorism manual, and possessing indecent images of a child. Finnigan was subsequently sentenced to six years in jail.[56][57][58] At the time of sentencing, the BBC reported that at least four British teenagers have been arrested in connection with the activities of the group, which has blackmailed children into carrying out sexual acts, harming themselves or even attempting suicide.[56]
  • In October 2024, a 14-year-old boy known as "Slain", who was a member of 764 and ran an offshoot named "No Lives Matter", was arrested after livestreaming eight attacks and three stabbings in Hässelby, Sweden.[59][60][61]

The 17 year old was accused of sending hundreds of bomb threats to schools and synagogues across the United States and the United Kingdom. Investigators also say he coerced American teenage girls into producing explicit materials and intimidated them into engaging in self-harm. In Romania, Ching had already come to the attention of local authorities after making bomb threats to hospitals and the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism. The extradition request was denied on May 13, 2025, and the authorities have five days to appeal this decision.[66][67][68]
