The Serial Swatter Problem is Worse Than You Think, Diddy Sues NBC FOR $100M, Pokimane Doxxing

Let’s talk about Alan Filion, who was sentenced this week to 4 years in federal prison because of his swatting obsession.
“I’m going to commit a mass shooting in the name of Satan. Allah Akbar.” (0:08-0:14)
So that’s just one of the calls he made, complete with fake gunfire sounds.
And in a plea agreement, the now 18-year-old, who lives in LA County, admitted that between August 2022 and January 2024 he made over 375 calls to emergency services with the intention of getting a response from them. []
His targets included high schools, universities, religious buildings, as well as government officials.
In one instance, he called public schools in Skagit County, Washington and said "I am going to commit a school shooting with my AR-15 and Glock. I will kill as many kids as I can and then I will shoot myself. I have pipe bombs that I have placed in the bathrooms..." []
Worst of all he even identified himself as an actual 17-year-old who went to that school, so it put his life in danger.
Then just two days later he called them again and threatened to plant bombs on cars in the school's parking lot.
And from there he continued to torment the school with even more calls for about a month.
In other instances, he essentially demanded ransoms in crypto to stop making the threats. []
He even targeted his own home multiple times in late 2022 in order to “test” his methods.
And these are just a drop in the bucket – to get an idea of how prolific he was, you just need to look at May 2023 when he called more than 20 public high schools across Washington with threats, which forced many of them to shut down.
Dispatch: “Are you in front of the school right now?”
Filion: “Yes, I’m walking in now.”
Dispatch: “Okay, can you stop, please?”
[fake gunfire]
Dispatch: “Shots heard, Andrea! Shots heard! Hey, can you lock down your facility? We have a report of shots fired at Central Valley High School. This is probably the worst call I’ve ever received.” 0:00-0:22
“Once I get your IP address through Google Voice, which you have been using, and get your information because they are subpoenaed, you will be getting charges. So stop calling my school–”
“I am never going to be caught. I am invincible.” 1:36-1:50
If you do the math across his entire spree, he made an average of 21 calls a month or 1.5 a day.
The idiot even reportedly bragged about all this on social media, saying that he purposefully makes up EXTREME scenarios, which "usually get[s] the cops to drag the victim and their families out of the house, cuff them and search the house for dead bodies.”
Filion admitted that the swatting started as a “power trip,” but he quickly turned it into a side hustle.
In an “advertisement” he posted across social media, he offered things like:
"Prices: $40-Gas leak/Fire for EMS/Fire/Gas Leak [$35 for returning customers]."[]
Other emergencies went up from there, with a “major police response to the house” costing $50 -- or $40 for returning customers.
He’d even call in bomb threats and mass shootings for just $75 -- or with a small discount for returning customers.
In July 2023 -- so about half-way through his bs -- Filion was actually visited by the FBI despite multiple layers of VPNs and text-to-voice software that was meant to obscure where the calls were coming from.[]
His family was even told that he was the one who called the swatting on their own house, but he “falsely denied any involvement.”
So he got to continue putting people in danger for about another 6 months before he was arrested in January 2024.
By November of last year he was facing charges and decided to plead guilty to four… out of 375.
It was technically possible for him to get 5 years per count… instead it was announced this week he was just facing 4 years in total.
Which I got to ask:
Do you think that’s enough?
I understand that prosecutors and judges really want to incentivize plea deals to save the court money… but this guy put a ton of people in danger and he’s lucky no one was killed.
-
And while we are talking about swatting, let’s talk about its sort of partner: doxxing.
Because you had Pokimane going on Colin and Samir’s podcast, revealing she spends a ton of money to make sure that this kind of crap does not happen to her.
Right, she noted one of her biggest expenses is actually an online security team, which she does not usually talk about, adding:
“Over the last two years I've had to get in touch with honestly not even one but like numerous companies, numerous teams who can just get different things done in order to help protect me online whether that's against doxing or deepfakes or people misusing uh my name or likeness or copyright or what have you. And that's like a five-figure plus monthly expense.” (1:34:35-1:35:00)
“I literally have people that I have to pay monthly to essentially scour and see whether my address is online anywhere and then take it down, like those kinds of things, I'm like I wish that wasn't the case.” (1:36;17-1:36:27)
And noting that because of security issues, she can’t really live in a house or with other people because she needs to live in a building with security.
It’s also an ordeal if she moves:
“Anytime I move into a new apartment, I have to hire people to take down every single photo of that apartment that exists anywhere and if anything makes it very unique I have to change those things. Like in my last apartment that I lived in, it had a very unique like, booth, and like color scheme in the kitchen, and I had to repaint everything. Because if anyone finds that one photo online of that apartment they piece it together so quickly.” (1:42:51-1:43:17)
Noting these are problems that she has not always had to deal with throughout her career, but digital security has changed so much.
Also pointing to AI, and having to pay people to remove deepfakes of her or her voice that float around so she can protect her image and safety and brand.
And obviously, the more high-profile you are, the bigger a problem it might be for you.
But of course, it can happen to anyone, right, no one is immune to the internet’s dark side.
And platforms like Twitch do have guides to try to help people prevent themselves from becoming victims of things like swatting and doxxing, but obviously these are still major forms of harassment.
Because, like I said, it’s not just a creator thing, hell, last year you had Education Week putting out a tip sheet for teachers to help them avoid doxxing.
In 2023, research found it increasingly being used to target academics, especially women in academics. []
Jurors in the trial against Trump also faced doxxing and security concerns.
So it can kind of reach its way into any place or industry or section of the internet, and I would just love to know your thoughts on it.
Right, whether it be Pokimane’s comments, on the fact that people with public platforms have to pay such big sums to protect themselves from this, or just on its overall pervasive nature, anything at all.

Right, NBC aired a documentary about Diddy called “The Making of a Bad Boy” on its streaming service Peacock last month.
And he alleges that this it defamed him by accusing him of “horrible” crimes:
“including serial murder and sexual assault of minors – knowing that there is not a shred of evidence to support them.”[]
And you might be thinking, we’ve been following this Diddy case for a while, allegations of sexual assault have been one of the core pieces of this case.
Serial murder though? That one we don’t hear about every day.
But according to the lawsuit, the doc suggested that Combs is responsible for the death of Kimberly Porter, his longtime girlfriend who he shares three kids with, despite the fact that the coroner’s office said her cause of death was lobar pneumonia.
And for people really in the weeds on this case or Diddy's life, it’s a conspiracy you may have run into before, it has made headlines in the past.
And the doc includes interviews with Al B. Sure, who asserted that Porter was murdered, as well as an interview with an attorney who questioned how she would have really died of pneumonia.
It also mentions other people in Diddy’s circle who died, including Biggie, with sources sometimes casting doubt on whether or not Diddy played a role in those events, and claiming that:
“It shamelessly advances conspiracy theor ies that lack any foundation in reality, repeatedly insinuating that Mr. Combs is a serial killer because it cannot be a “coincidence” that multiple people in Mr. Combs’s orbit have died.”
Regarding claims that Diddy sexually abused minors, the suit claims the documentary based this “entirely on a false claim by an anonymous” source.
And further adding that by releasing this film, NBC sought:
“Only to capitalize on the public’s appetite for scandal without any regard for the truth and at the expense of Mr. Combs’s right to a fair trial.”
Accusing them of a rush job, pointing to an interview executive producer Ari Mark did with the Hollywood Reporter where he said:
“It’s really competitive and I think that is why it wasn’t enough to be fast, it was also necessary to be distinct. There’s no time and this was an extremely fast turnaround.”[]
With The Hollywood Reporter noting that there have already been docs released on Diddy, with more on the way, which would add to the pressure of getting something out there fast.
And so now, Diddy is seeking $100 million in relief over these defamation claims.
Listing NBC, Peacock, and the production company Ample Entertainment as defendants.
With his attorney, Erica Wolff, giving a statement to People Magazine saying that:
“Grossly exploiting the trust of their audience and racing to outdo their competition for the most salacious Diddy exposé, Defendants maliciously and recklessly broadcast outrageous lies in [the documentary.]”[]
So far, NBC has not publicly responded to the allegations, but you had the New York Times noting that this lawsuit kind of shows that Diddy is starting to go on the offensive as allegations against him continue to grow.[][]
Right, in January he also filed a lawsuit against a man who has given media interviews claiming he has tapes of Diddy’s freakoffs.
So this is kind of continuing that effort.
But of course, the cases where Diddy is on the defense are also going nowhere.
While he has denied all of the allegations against him, he is still awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, which he is pleading not guilty to.[]
He is also facing dozens of civil lawsuits, new ones are being filed pretty regularly.
In fact, one was just filed this week, accusing him of drugging and raping someone in 2022.
Diddy’s legal team denying those claims as ridiculous.
So this is a case that is only going to get bigger before it goes anywhere, and I would love to know your thoughts on this, on Diddy being the one playing the lawsuit game now, on the implications from the documentary itself, anything here.

Mass layoffs, huge welfare cuts, several trillion dollar tax cuts, and one big ass bill for Tesla.
The political news just don’t stop.
So let’s dive in one more time before the weekend, starting with the end of Elon Musk’s buyout offer.
Right, you’ll remember that on January 28, the White House sent most of the federal workforce an email offering to continue paying them through September if they resigned now. [Headline]
With the implicit threat being that if they don’t take the offer, they might get laid off later on anyway under less generous terms. [Quote same link, find “dignity”]
But last Thursday, nine days after it started, a judge halted the program. [Headline]
This as he considered a lawsuit from unions representing more than 800,000 federal workers.
But yesterday, that judge dismissed the suit, arguing that his court lacked jurisdiction and the unions lacked standing. [Quote, find “standing”]
So the buyout offer was back on the table, meaning any workers who hadn’t yet accepted it should have been able to.
But then the White House announced that as of 7 p.m. yesterday, the offer was closed. [Quote, find “as of 7”]
With about 75,000 people reportedly taking the buyout in the end, less than 5% of the federal workforce. [Headline]
Which falls short of the administration’s goal for between five and ten percent to resign. [Quote same link, find “10%”]
Also, it’s possible that many of those who took the offer would have resigned or retired anyway later on this year.
Right, because in the 2023 fiscal year, 116,000 federal workers, or nearly 6% of the workforce, reportedly resigned or retired. [Quote, find “115,900”]
But now that the buyout’s done, the White House is moving on to a legally more thorny stage two: mass layoffs.
With Elon Musk’s underlings reportedly going after probationary workers first, since they’re typically less protected from being fired without cause and make up around 7% of the government. [Quote, find “7 percent”]
And sources tell The Washington Post that White House officials are eyeing cuts to agency budgets of between 30 and 40% on average, centered on significant staff reductions. [Quote same link, find “40 percent”]
Though reportedly departments that Trump likes are expected to be exempt, such as defense and homeland security. [Same quote]
But already we’ve seen lots of confusion around who’s getting fired and who isn’t.
With probationary workers at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau reportedly getting an email notifying them that they’d been terminated. [Quote same link, find “unfinished”]
But the notice had unfinished placeholders, addressing it to “[EmployeeFirstName] [EmployeeLastName]” and noting, “I am removing you from your position of [JobTitle].” [Same quote]
And then at the Small Business Administration, probationary workers reportedly got emails Friday telling them they were fired, then a second wave of emails saying they weren’t fired, then a third round telling them that actually, they were fired. [Quote same link, find “revoking” and “third”]
But as we’ve seen with USAID and the buyout offer, many federal employees are walking out the workplace door and straight into the courtroom.
And on that front, we’ve got yet another lawsuit from eight inspectors general who were fired by Trump last month. [Headline]
With them claiming he kicked them out without justifying their removal or giving Congress 30 days notice, and adding: [Quote same link, find “justifying”]
“The purported firings violated unambiguous federal statutes -- each enacted by bipartisan majorities in Congress and signed into law by the President -- to protect Inspectors General from precisely this sort of interference with the discharge of their critical, non-partisan oversight duties.” [Quote same link]
And even for the buyout offer, the judge only dismissed the unions’ particular lawsuit; he didn’t rule on the program’s legality.
So the unions responded in a statement saying:
“We continue to maintain it is illegal to force American citizens who have dedicated their careers to public service to make a decision, in a few short days, without adequate information, about whether to uproot their families and leave their careers for what amounts to an unfunded IOU from Elon Musk.” [Quote]
Though obviously, not everyone sees it that way, with Republicans framing these moves as merely “downsizing” a bloated, unelected and corrupt bureaucratic machine.
I mean, you even had Fox News referring to those unions as “Big Labor” and highlighted Trump’s support from numerous state attorneys general. [Quote]
But onto the next big slice of political news, we just got our first glance at what kind of legislation the Republicans are planning to pass with their razor-thin majority in Congress. [Image]
With House Republicans yesterday unveiling a budget blueprint, which is the first step toward hammering out an actual budget.
And first off, we got 4.5 trillion dollars in tax cuts. [Quote, find “4.5”]
Though to be clear, that’s not 4.5 trillion on top of Trump’s 2017 tax cuts.
Right, simply preserving those cuts could cost over five trillion dollars, so this new budget plan would mostly just do that and maybe a little more. [Quote, find “5 trillion”]
But as we heard from Elon Musk Tuesday, the party claims to be very concerned about the debt and the deficit.
So to mitigate the fiscal impact of the tax cuts, they’re pairing them with a range of cuts to spending, specifically the social safety net.
And by far the biggest target is Medicaid, which covers nearly 90 million Americans.
With the blueprint instructing the Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees the program, to come up with at least 880 billion dollars in cuts. [Quote, find “880”]
Though we’ll have to see if they do that by chipping away at benefits, imposing work requirements on enrollees, or some other avenue.
Then, their next target is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps, which helps to feed more than 40 million poor Americans.
With the blueprint asking the Agriculture Committee, which oversees it, to cut 230 billion dollars. [Quote, find “230”]
And lastly for the big stuff, the Education and Workforce Committee’s asked to cut 330 billion dollars. [Same quote]
Meanwhile, defense and immigration enforcement would get a 300 billion dollar spending increase. [Quote, find “300 billion”]
But when you tally it all up, you only get 1.5 trillion dollars in spending cuts overall. [Quote, find “1.5 trillion”]
So that means this budget would add roughly three trillion dollars to the deficit over a decade. [Quote, find “3 trillion”]
Which is why it also proposes raising the debt ceiling by four trillion dollars. [Quote, find “debt ceiling”]
But if these numbers sound big to you, keep in mind, this is a compromise; some Republicans wanted even deeper cuts.
Right, specifically, those in the House Freedom Caucus called for 2.5 trillion dollars in spending cuts. [Quote, find “2.5”]
Arguing last week, “we should not be negotiating with ourselves on how little to cut from Joe Biden’s insane spending levels.” [Same quote]
But on the other side, more moderate Republicans in politically vulnerable districts are skiddish about cutting too much from social programs that directly benefit their constituents.
And across the spectrum, different lawmakers are trying to squeeze in their own particular favorite tax cuts, while party leaders try to keep the overall number from growing out of control.
Not to mention Trump and his campaign promises to end taxes on things like tips and overtime pay.
But one way or another, they’re gonna have to agree on a blueprint, otherwise they can’t use the special legislative procedure, known as reconciliation.
With that allowing them to push through the bill on a simple-majority vote.
Thing is, the House and Senate are split on how to accomplish this.
Because while House Speaker Mike Johnson says one giant budget bill is the best way to smooth out differences within the party, Senate Budget Committee Chair Lindsey Graham is skeptical that the House can pull together and agree.
So he’s said that if they can’t get something passed quickly, it’ll be time for Plan B, meaning two bills dealing with spending and taxes separately.
And in fact, his committee moved forward with the spending half of that on Wednesday.
Proposing 175 billion dollars for border security, 150 billion for defense and 20 billion for the Coast Guard. [Quote, find “20 billion”]
So the GOP’s gonna be sorting all that out for a while, likely several weeks at least.
But they’re not the only ones thinking about spending right now.
Because the media got their hands on a State Department document detailing procurement for fiscal year 2025, and one particular expense caught their eye.
A 400 million dollar order for armored vehicles from what company? Tesla. [Headline and image]
With the document not specifying which vehicle, though some guessed it was the Cybertruck. [Image]
So naturally accusations of a conflict of interest, if not outright corruption, went flying.
[Clip, 05:05 - 05:19] Caption: “Isn’t it great and not at all illegal or profoundly corrupt for the president to put someone with billions of dollars in government contracts personally in charge of deciding what happens to government contracts?”
But the State Department defended itself, saying the plans stemmed from a request by the Biden administration “to explore interest from private companies to produce armored electric vehicles.” [Quote]
And that the document was first published in December, before Trump took office. [Quote same link, find “December”]
With the department adding, “The solicitation is on hold and there are no current plans to issue it.” [Quote same link]
Also, reportedly some other car makers were also set to receive contracts for armored vehicles, though much smaller ones.
With BMW, for instance, expected to supply about 40 million dollars worth of SUVs. [Quote, find “BMW”]
But last night, the document was reportedly edited to remove the word “Tesla” and simply say “armored electric vehicles.” [Quote]
And then, less than two hours later, Elon Musk responded to Rachel Maddow with: “Hey @Maddow, why the lie?” [Tweet]
So some will see this as a win for Musk in the war of facts, while others are gonna argue it’s irrelevant to the allegation that there’s a clear conflict of interest.
But lastly, we’ve gotta talk about one of Trump’s other kids: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. [Image]
Because today the Senate voted 52 to 48 to confirm the anti-vaccine activist as the secretary of Health and Human Services. [Headline and image]
With the lone Republican voting against him being Mitch McConnell, who is notably a survivor of polio.
So in no uncertain terms he declared:
“In my lifetime, I've watched vaccines save millions of lives from devastating diseases across America and around the world. I will not condone the re-litigation of proven cures, and neither will millions of Americans who credit their survival and quality of life to scientific miracles.” [Quote same link]
And as I mentioned yesterday, he was also the only Republican to vote against confirming Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence.
With him clashing against Trump at other times as well, especially after January 6.
Though notably, while he condemned the president’s actions there verbally, he declined to convict Trump after the House impeached him.
So he’s set up to be a voice of dissent in the Senate, though one with a limit.

Migrants are now being detained at Guantanamo Bay and no one has any idea how long they’ll be there, in what conditions, or whether they’ll have any means of communicating with their families and attorneys.
That’s according to an ACLU-led coalition which has now sued the Trump administration and is demanding access to detainees so they can provide legal assistance.
With the complaint alleging that the U.S. is “holding them incommunicado” and further claiming “this isolation is no coincidence." []
Adding: “Guantánamo is home to one of the most notorious prisons in the world, used when the U.S. government has attempted to operate in secret, without legal constraint or accountability.” []
And notably, the organizations say they’re resorting to litigation only after the government failed to respond to a letter sent last week to the secretaries of defense, state and homeland security requesting immediate access to the migrants.
And with that, you have the deputy head of the ACLU’s immigrants’ rights project saying:
“By hurrying immigrants off to a remote island cut off from lawyers, family, and the rest of the world, the Trump administration is sending its clearest signal yet that the rule of law means nothing to it.”
“It will now be up to the courts to ensure that immigrants cannot be warehoused on offshore islands.”[]
But of course, in the meantime, it’s already happening.
Right, Trump announced his plans late last month to house up to 30,000 unauthorized immigrants at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Station in Cuba.
And while the U.S. government has taken migrants picked up at sea to Guantánamo to be processed before…
It’s never taken people who were already detained on American soil — and therefore have constitutional rights — to a detention facility overseas.[]
And so as we’ve talked about, the plan immediately sparked backlash.
Right, with some saying what Trump was describing sounded a lot like a concentration camp, others highlighting the allegedly cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment suffered by those detained in the Guantanamo Bay military prison in the past.
With legal experts noting:
“Guantánamo is a black hole designed to escape scrutiny and with a dark history of inhumane conditions. It is a transparent attempt to avoid legal oversight that will fail.” []
But with all that, in its defense, the Trump administration is claiming that the detention of migrants at Guantanamo would only be temporary;
that it would only be sending the, quote, “'worst criminal illegal aliens”;
and that deported migrants wouldn’t be held in the military prison.
And while we’ll have to wait and see whether the detention is truly temporary, we’re already seeing evidence that those other claims were untrue.
Right, on February 4th, for example, DHS released images of the first flight of migrants being deported to Guantanamo –
Claiming all were part of a notorious Venezuelan gang.[]
But when presented by the New York Times with evidence suggesting that at least one of the deported individuals had no ties to the gang, however, a DHS spokesperson reportedly responded:
“During further assessment, intelligence officers could not definitively determine whether the individual is or is not a confirmed member of [the gang].”
“He may very well be a member of this vicious gang. He may not be.”[]
With her then saying in a follow-up reply:
“The New York Times is more interested in writing sob stories about its disgusting members than justice for its victims.”[]
And with that, we’ve seen this DHS spokesperson responding similarly to the ACLU-led lawsuit, saying in a statement:
"If the AMERICAN Civil Liberties Union cares more about highly dangerous criminal aliens including murderers & vicious gang members than they do about American citizens -- they should change their name."[]
But again, there’s no evidence that all of those detained are murderers and gang members.
Right, congressional staffers were reportedly told that the criteria for transfer to Guantánamo is currently just Venezuelans in ICE custody.
And notably, people in that category have been difficult to deport in recent years because of a breakdown in diplomatic relations.[]
Though, with that, Venezuela sent two flights to pick up some of its citizens who were being deported this week, so that may be changing.
But in any case, in general, ICE has arrested scores of migrants who have no criminal records despite administration’s claims that immigration enforcement would prioritize dangerous criminals
And it seems to be no different with Guantanamo.
Right, it wasn’t just one non-gang member caught up by accident.
According to reporting by CBS – based on conversations with U.S. officials and internal government documents – the Trump administration is sending multiple nonviolent, "low-risk" migrants.
With government guidelines defining low-risk detainees as those who haven’t been arrested or convicted of violent offenses or other serious crimes.
Though, notably, U.S. officials say they could also be migrants who lack any criminal record whatsoever.[]
Also worth noting, while DHS has routinely claimed migrants being arrested crossed the border illegally, some migrants in ICE detention entered the country legally and overstayed.
Some, for example, requested asylum at the border, but were eventually rejected.
And with that, the government hasn’t offered evidence that all of the men taken to Guantánamo had sneaked across the border.[]
In fact, according to the New York Times, spokespeople for the administration have been unwilling or unable to answer detailed questions about what is happening to the migrants at the base.[]
For example, with the ACLU-led lawsuit?
The rights groups are asking that "at a minimum" attorneys be allowed to communicate with the migrants via phone calls, video conferences or email. []
And with that, the DHS spokesperson said there is "a system for phone utilization to reach lawyers" but provided no additional detail.
The government has also not released the identities of the migrants sent to Guantánamo, and several of family members reportedly say they have made repeated calls to ICE to ask about their relatives to no avail.[]
And notably, of course, as well as leaving families with little idea of where their loved ones are being held, this is another factor complicating lawyers’ efforts to challenge their detention.[]
That said, at least two detainees have been identified by their relatives through pictures released of the first flight.
And now, The New York Times has obtained and published the names of 53 men who have been taken to Guantanamo.
And notably, while the Trump administration has portrayed the detainees as legally in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, they’re actually being guarded by troops rather than civilian immigration officers.
And specifically, they’re reportedly being held in Camp 6, which is a prison building where until recently the military held foreign terrorist suspects.
But with that, as of Tuesday, the other 45 migrants were being held in a lower-security building on the other side of the base.
And the names of these migrants were not on the list obtained by The Times.[]
But as far as those at Camp 6?
One person familiar with the operation noted that the facility is in disrepair, with broken showers and doors and other faulty equipment that make parts of it unusable[]
Two people with knowledge of prison operations also reportedly said the detainees are being fed prepackaged military rations.[]
And with all this, as with almost everything we talk about with Trump, there’s a big question about the legality of any of this.
Right, the Supreme Court has ruled that the government has lawful authority to hold Al Qaeda suspects in indefinite wartime detention at Guantánamo…[]
But it’s not clear what legal authority the Trump administration has to hold people arrested in the United States for immigration detention purposes.
But of course, that’s not slowing him down.
Right, like I said, Trump has promised that Guantánamo would hold tens of thousands of migrants.
And to get ready for that, several hundred U.S. military service members have reportedly been deployed to the base and more than a hundred green Army tents have been erected in fields near an airstrip there.[]
So ultimately, we’ll have to wait and see how this plays out, and see if Guantanamo really does become the massive migrant “detention” facility being promised.
