Two Local Businesses Receive Bomb Threats

Press release from the Eureka Police Department:
Feature icon Eureka Police Department EPD

The Eureka Police Department received reports from two local businesses today warning of a bomb planted inside their businesses.The threats were sent via e-mail to employees stating that an explosive device had been hidden inside the business and would be detonated if the employee did not send $20,000 dollars in bitcoin to a specific bitcoin address.

USA Today newspaper reports, “A torrent of bomb threats emailed to universities, businesses, schools and news outlets Thursday from New York City to San Francisco sent police departments scrambling to sort out what appeared to be a nationwide electronic hoax aimed at extorting bitcoins from its targets”.

The New York City Police Department said the threats were meant to cause disruption and compel recipients into sending money and were not considered credible.”The Eureka Police Department investigated the threats and found no credible threat. “These threats seem consistent with similar threats happening nationally,” stated EPD Sergeant Cory Crnich. “We found no explosive devices in or around the businesses.”The Eureka Police Department is publicizing this scam in case other businesses received similar e-mails.

Dozens of bomb threats to distract away from the CF whistle blower testimonies that exposed many things, but namely the fact that they act as agents for foreign countries.

Plus a judge is demanding to know why the fbi told General Flynn he couldn’t lawyer up.

I don’t remember the rest.
Is this what you were looking for?

LOL, now that’s funny!
They apparently didn’t throw enough of that dough around. Too bad.

Crazy….

Don’t disgruntled weed workers do this on money laundering operations?

Wish we knew which businesses to set up a flow chart.

What are you talking about????
Cannabis workers doing what now?
Makes no sense. Stop trying to tie everything to pot.
Its tired.

I remember people doing this in high school to avoid finals.
Other than that it sounds like a nationwide issue, again making the weird pot connection comment weirder, so instead of taking all the info from a company and holding it hostage like what happened to asis, its someone playing on fear of a bomb in their biz to get $ out of folks.
What will be interesting to see is what network those two biz have in common with rest of country thats experiencing the same.
