That was my guess. But... this type of claim is nothing new. Its nice that people are skeptical. These government agencies inflate their numbers and set up patsies to justify their existence. Stories like this are political.

All the so-called terrorist events that have been stopped by the FBI are a great example. Like some low IQ guy gets FBI help to plan a bombing and never had the capability to carry it out is stopped by they guys how set him up. Its so evil.

This case is probably just some spammer that got caught. If they are Russian or Chinese though... its a state actor. I mean... it could be but I doubt it.

What always annoys me is how media gobbles up this garbage no matter the administration. We do get more skepticism now because so many hate Trump but its really pathetic. On top of that, anything tech related the media absolutely does not get.
