On the heels of my weekend surveying the cyberstalker's slams against Jetsunma ... wow. I couldn't tell you guys what was going on because the court case was still going on. These guys took full advantage of our silence.
An Open Letter Concerning Mr. Andrew WilsonIn the recent
cyberstalking case against Bill Cassidy, the
FBI also investigated a man in Oregon named Andrew Wilson.
KPC was surprised to learn of Mr. Wilson's existence from the FBI.
The temple has no idea why Mr. Wilson was harassing Jetsunma on Twitter. Wilson used his Mujushinkyo and Horsesasstulku account (which he identified to his followers as being his) as well as others, to Tweet at Jetsunma directly, then Tweet such things as "I'm coming tulku k-k-k-kill you #tulku."
Many people, including Mr. Wilson (who insists the temple "sent" the FBI after him), seem to not understand how a federal investigation works:
Step one: One brings the case and evidence to the US Attorney.
Step two: The federal government launches its own investigation.
The FBI does not take anyone at their word.
In the FBI's own investigation of Bill Cassidy, they found Andrew Wilson engaged in the same activity. This was the FBI's finding, not the temple's.
To keep the case simple, the FBI determined they would only pursue Cassidy. (I would assume that
Cassidy's prior criminal record made it a more compelling case.) However, both men were cyberstalking in a similar manner, which is why both men were investigated, though only Cassidy was arrested.
The case determined that while Cassidy was cyberstalking,
Jetsunma is a public figure who should expect cyberstalkers--I mean, free speech (consisting of death threats...).
On a personal note, I'd like to mention I find Wilson's claim the temple has "deep pockets" paranoid and absurd, considering our rather public ongoing financial struggles.
(I now return you to your regular programming.)
