During a Zoom meeting attended by approximately 46 far-right activists Monday night, a bounty was issued for Satanic Temple co-founder Lucien Greaves. The group stipulated that Greaves is wanted dead or alive, “or burnt, or whatever.” After some deliberation, the group decided on a figure of $100,000.

For aiding and abetting The Satanic Temple, GoDaddy CEO Aman Bhutani also received a bounty of “$50,000 or $100,000,” according to someone present at the meeting.

This comes a month after the so-called sovereign citizens discussed firebombing the Satanic Temple headquarters in Salem, Massachusetts. 

Greaves says that he reported the earlier threat to the FBI in December, but has yet to receive a reply. 

The organization that issued the threats calls itself the American National Assembly of the Government of the United States of America.
