A strange and disturbing story:

A man was arrested Friday in St. Louis for allegedly making threats against Jewish community centers, as well as cyberstalking and threatening a woman he previously dated. The man, Juan Thompson, is a reporter who was fired from the Intercept in 2016 for making up sources and quotes.

In the past month, there has been a disturbing wave of threats against Jewish community centers across the United States. According to a criminal complaint filed in the Southern District of New York, which you can read in full here, authorities believe Thompson terrorized his former girlfriend by making threats in her name against Jewish community centers as well as the Anti-Defamation League. Thompson is not suspected of being the source of the bulk of the recent JCC threats; his appears to have been a copycat crime.

The criminal complaint accuses Thompson of making the threats as part of a “sustained campaign to harass and intimidate” his victim.

More here. Good background about his merely journalistic offenses here (unlike in the Glass case, I can’t see that the editors at The Intercept did anything wrong.)
