In late January, Mr. Pendley began using Signal, an encrypted messaging app, to communicate with another confidential source. The source told the FBI that Mr. Pendley allegedly stated he planned to use C-4 plastic explosives to attack prominent tech company's data centers in an attempt to “kill of about 70% of the internet.”

On March 31, the confidential source introduced Mr. Pendley to an individual who he claimed was his explosives supplier. In actuality, the man was an undercover FBI employee.

In recorded conversations, Mr. Pendley allegedly told the undercover he planned to attack web servers that he believed provided services to the FBI, CIA, and other federal agencies. He said he hoped to bring down “the oligarchy” currently in power in the United States.

On April 8, Mr. Pendley again met with the undercover FBI employee to pick up what he believed to be explosive devices. (In actuality, however, the undercover gave Mr. Pendley inert devices.) After the agent showed Mr. Pendley how to arm and detonate the devices, the defendant loaded them into his car. Mr. Pendley was then arrested by FBI agents who monitored the delivery of the inert devices.

Yeah I figured it was AWS he was after. They should have taken him somewhere remote for C4 training and let him practice

I figured Facebook in fort worth then read 70% and figured to be AWS, as many backups as they have I don’t see it shutting it down, though

Seth Aaron Pendley from Fort Worth was plotting to blow up an Amazon data center in Virginia.

Seth Aaron Pendley biography: 13 things about Wichita Falls, Texas man

Seth Aaron Pendley is a white man from Texas, United States. Using the screen name Dionysus, he posted on MyMilitia.com, a forum dedicated to organizing militia groups, about his plan to “conduct a little experiment” in 2021.

“I’m not a dumbass suicide bomber,” Pendley wrote. “But even if I only have a handful of fellow patriots standing beside me, I will happily die a young man knowing that I didn’t allow the evils in this world to continue unjustly treating my fellow Americans so disrespectfully.”

When asked by another MyMilitia.com user about his desired outcome, Pendley as Dionysus wrote “death.” Here are 13 more things about him:

That day, he sent a text message to the source saying, “The AWS data places are almost all centrally located. They are f*****g MASSIVE.
