764 is a decentralized, internationally operating online sextortion network. It emerged in 2021 from the CVLT network.

764 has been described as a Satanic and neo-Nazi cult by some in the media.[2][3] Investigations suggest that its members' misanthropic worldview and sadistic tendencies are more significant drivers, with group dynamics playing a key role in further radicalization. Members of 764 frequently adopt the corresponding symbolism but are primarily described as being motivated by sadism.[4][5]

In 2023, Bradley Cadenhead, the network's founder, was sentenced to 80 years in prison after being convicted of crimes related to the sextortion network.[6] 764 has been described as a terror network by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ),[7][8] and is considered a terrorist "tier one" investigative matter by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). 764 is designated as a terrorist group by Canada and New Zealand, which considers it as part of the Order of Nine Angles.

History

764 was founded in 2021 by Bradley Chance Cadenhead.[9][10] At the age of 15, school dropout Cadenhead (alias "Felix") learned techniques of exploiting minors and sextortion on a Discord server named CVLT and subsequently founded 764. In the game Minecraft, Cadenhead met an unknown person who assisted him in establishing 764.[5] The 764 network is primarily active on Discord and Telegram, and to some extent on the gaming platforms Roblox and Minecraft.[11] It is also publicly active on online forums.[12][13] Its members are involved in systematic sexual, physical, and psychological abuse of minors through sextortion and other practices and in distributing child pornography and depictions of violence. Victims are selected from the 9- to 17-year-old age group, with a preference for children from marginalized backgrounds or with mental health issues.[14][15]

Cadenhead was bullied during his school years. A classmate called him an "easy target". In his early teens, Cadenhead suffered multiple psychological breakdowns and was isolated. He told probation officers that he stopped caring about anything and, after dropping out of school at 15, withdrew to his room. He founded the 764 online network and named it after the first three digits of the ZIP Code of his hometown, Stephenville, Texas.[16] Cadenhead had been noticeably disruptive as a student. At age ten, he was fascinated by graphic online content depicting murder and torture. His assistant principal alerted authorities about Cadenhead, leading to an investigation into terrorist threats. Despite disciplinary measures, Cadenhead continued to use school computers to draw images of school shootings.[5]

Cadenhead extorted minors through sextortion or coerced them by threatening actions such as swatting attacks. He forced his victims, among other things, to produce child pornography, engage in animal cruelty, and to engage in self-harm. Cadenhead's Discord accounts were typically banned within about a day, but he repeatedly created new ones. A Discord Inc. spokesperson told The Washington Post that the company's moderation system primarily relied on user reports. When Discord learned of their illegal activities, it banned Cadenhead's accounts. Out of concern about retaliatory actions by 764 members, the spokesperson requested anonymity.[16] After a house search[16] on August 25, 2021, Cadenhead was arrested,[6] and on May 16, 2023, he was convicted of possessing child pornographic files.[17] He was sentenced to 80 years in prison and is currently imprisoned in the Estelle Unit in Huntsville, Texas.[6][18]

Cadenhead's behavioral therapist said during the trial that Cadenhead needed psychological treatment rather than imprisonment. After reviewing video evidence from Cadenhead's computer and listing the seven deadly sins, the presiding judge, Jason Cashon, addressed Cadenhead directly, saying, "There is something horribly wrong with you [...] Horribly."[16]

764 is designated as a terrorist organization by Canada and New Zealand, which considers it as part of the Order of Nine Angles.[19][20]

Arrests of leaders

On April 29, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice reported the arrest of two key members of a 764 subgroup. The 20-year-old Prasan Nepal (alias "Trippy") was arrested on April 22, 2025, in North Carolina, and the 21-year-old Leonidas Varagiannis (alias "War") was apprehended on April 28 in Greece. An international arrest warrant was issued against Varagiannis, and his extradition to the U.S. has been requested, which he is attempting to resist, arguing that Greek authorities should have jurisdiction due to his residence in Greece.[1][21]

According to the Justice Department, the two suspects were accused not only of leading a 764 subgroup on an encrypted messenger but also of being centrally involved in the production and distribution of child pornography. According to FBI director Kash Patel, they recruited group members and created a guide for producing such material. If convicted in the U.S., Varagiannis and Nepal face life imprisonment, according to the U.S. Department of Defense.[1][21]

According to the Global Network on Extremism & Technology (GNET), the 764 network was officially considered dissolved upon the arrest of Cadenhead and other key figures. But the network has fragmented into subgroups such as 676, CVLT, Court, Kaskar, Harm Nation, Leak Society, and H3ll. GNET notes a continuity of personnel and assumes that the 764 network persists in these splinter groups.[5]

The Community

Main article: The Com

When aggregated, the people surrounding these groups are commonly called "the com", short for "the community".[22][23] Researchers and law enforcement estimated in 2024 that "the com" includes hundreds of people who engage in sextortion, child sexual exploitation, extortion and harassment using various cybercriminal tactics such as swatting or doxing, as well as thousands engaged in other cybercriminal activities.[10][11]

Notable cases

One of the first notable case was in May 2024, when a 14-year-old boy stabbed an elderly woman in her eighties in Hässelby, Stockholm, Sweden. He was convicted by the Swedish court of attempted murder and sentenced to juvenile detention. According to an investigation, he was linked to and active on communities associated with 764.[10]

Ideological influences

The 764 network adopted the tactics of CVLT, a previous sextortion group, expanding sextortion to include additional forms of abuse, such as coercion into animal cruelty.[24][25]

It has been connected to Nazism and right-wing extremism and violence. Its ideology promotes amorality and teachings aimed at "transcending" moral and societal norms.[26] Joshua Caleb Sutter and his Tempel ov Blood, a group affiliated with the neo-Nazi satanist group the Order of Nine Angles, has heavily influenced 764's ideology and symbolism.[27]

In April 2024, No Lives Matter distanced itself from the 764 network, saying that it advocates an ideology that 764 should follow. The previous alliance was disrupted due to 764's connections to Satanism and pedophilia. Since breaking from 764, NLM has sharpened its ideological focus and now presents itself as a misanthropic network that continues to endorse murder.[28]

Sextortion

The network is most present on Discord and Telegram.[2] It also operates on various gaming platforms, where perpetrator tactics include contacting minors via the in-game chat, masquerading as minors, and offering in-game currency to establish trust. Network members have also initiated contact with minors on social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat.[29] Once contact is established, members may shift the communication to forums like Discord or Telegram before escalating abuse and facilitating extortion.[30]

Its members try to obtain compromising data from their victims, often in the form of nude images. They use various methods, such as hacking, sextortion, and blackmail, to acquire this data, which is then used for extortion.[14] Some victims are coerced into self-harm, including cases where children were forced to carve their tormentor's online nickname into their skin, which is called "cutsigning" or "fansigning" (a form of branding to show their subjugation by the group).[31] Other children were manipulated into flushing their heads in toilets, torturing and killing their pets, attacking their siblings, killing themselves, or carrying out mass shootings.[32][11] Several cases of attempted or completed suicides among victims are documented, some deliberately induced by the perpetrators.[5]

The German Federal Criminal Police Office has warned about these perpetrators' methods. A Canadian victim of 764 described feeling loved by the perpetrators and said, "I was a lost soul and found serenity and comfort in the familiarity of the abuse."[33]

The perpetrators' motives are cited as sadism and misanthropy, though extorted child pornography has also been sold on the darknet.[11] The FBI identified minors aged eight to seventeen as the target group. Additionally, members of the LGBTQ+ community, ethnic minorities, and people with mental health issues, particularly depression and suicidality, are focal points for the perpetrators.[34]

Warnings from police

The Federal Bureau of Investigation classified the 764 network as a "tier one" threat, the highest danger category, assessing it as a threat to national and economic security.[35] In September 2023, the FBI published their first bulletin warning the public of the network.[36] Law enforcement authorities and affected parties have repeatedly stated that platform operators are responsible for taking more decisive action against dangers to underage users.[37][38][39] While Roblox had already restricted certain content and features for users under 17 since 2023, the company implemented additional safety measures in November, including automated chat monitoring and restrictions on the use of the chat function for underage users. In July 2025, age verification via facial scanning was introduced.[39]

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.[31] Another news release reminding the public of the groups was published by RCMP a month later.[40] 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.[41] 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".[42]

According to media reports from May 2025, approximately 250 investigations related to the 764 network were being conducted in the USA spanning all 55 FBI field offices.[43] In the US, terrorism laws are sometimes applied to members of the 764 network. These laws are also used against perpetrators operating from abroad who commit crimes with impacts in the USA. In such cases, extradition requests are made.[44]

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.[23] The FBI estimates that thousands of children have been victims of 764 and similar groups.[23] The Australian Federal Police claimed that they were intensifying efforts to disrupt networks linked to 764.[45]
