A 60-year-old Tennessee man died after he was"swatted" by people who wanted him to give up his Twitter handle.
In March, he agreed to plead guilty to the conspiracy charge in exchange for the other charges being dropped. An attorney for Sonderman could not immediately be reached. If the person surrendered the handle, Sonderman would then put it up for sale on internet forums, the indictment states. If they refused, Sonderman and his co-conspirator would"bombard the owner with repeated phone calls and text messages" and harass them in an attempt to get them to change their mind, according to the indictment.
"We asked my brother-in-law to go to my dad's property. He believed that something was wrong," she said."That's when he heard from [my dad's] girlfriend that everything was not OK and she was in the back of a cop car following my dad in an ambulance to the hospital."
