FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A jury on Wednesday found a San Fernando Valley man guilty of sending threatening emails to the FBI, including ones in which he threatened to bomb the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office and referenced the infamous “Unabomber.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mark William Anten, 52, of Sun Valley, was found guilty of two counts of threats by interstate communication. He has been in federal custody since December 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 On December 5, 2023, Anten sent to FBI agents an email in which he wrote, \u201cI AM THE UNABOMBER\u201d and \u201cI WILL UNABOMB THE LOS ANGELES FBI HQ.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 According to evidence presented at a three-day trial, from July 2023 to December 2023, Anten sent a series of increasingly threatening communications to the FBI, culminating in two threats to bomb the FBI field office in Westwood.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span> \"\"\u00a0 \u201cEven after being warned, Mr. Anten double-downed on his threats to murder FBI employees,\u201d said Krysti Hawkins, the Acting Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office. \u201cThe FBI will not tolerate credible death threats to individuals or institutions and, as evidenced during the trial, neither did the jury.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

These emails included repeated references to Theodore John Kaczynski, a.k.a. \u201cThe Unabomber,\u201d whose 20-year bombing campaign killed three people and injured nearly two dozen more. Kaczynski was convicted of federal crimes, spent the bulk of his prison sentence in the Supermax federal prison in Colorado and died in a different federal prison last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

On November 20, 2023, two FBI task force officers interviewed Anten in front of his residence. <\/span><\/p>\n

During the interview, Anten admitted to sending the previous communications, and the officers admonished him to stop contacting agents, the affidavit states. Despite the admonition, Anten\u2019s conduct escalated.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Inside<\/p>\n

The next day, Anten wrote to FBI agents, \u201cI can go on a mass murder spree. In fact it would be very explainable by your actions.\u201d He concluded the email with, \u201c[y]ou ain\u2019t getting away with this one,\u201d and signed the email, \u201cSuperMax or Death.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Anten also sent FBI agents an email, which attached a photograph depicting the results of an internet search for \u201chow to make a dirty bomb.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Later that day, Anten visited the FBI\u2019s Los Angeles Field Office and later emailed agents that he had visited their building and would continue to do so. <\/span><\/p>\n

Surveillance footage confirmed Anten\u2019s presence there.<\/span><\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge Wesley L. Hsu scheduled a Sept.13 sentencing hearing. For each count, Anten faces up to five years in federal prison.<\/span><\/p>\n

The FBI investigated this matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Clifford D. Mpare and Kedar S. Bhatia, both of the General Crimes Section, are prosecuting this case.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
