The "764" network, a decentralized online extremist group, operates on sites like Discord, Telegram, and gaming platforms like Minecraft and Roblox. Often labeled satanic and cult-like, the members coerce victims, often children and teens, into creating explicit images, self-harm videos, and animal cruelty videos. In extreme cases, they've encouraged suicide and other acts of violence.
The group started around 2021 by Chance Cadenhead, who was also known as "Felix" or "Brad764." In 2023, Cadenhead was sentenced to 80 years in prison.
Now, another leader of this group has been sentenced to 77 years behind bars.

New Ngo Comment report: The trans leader of a satanic cult in the "764" network known for grooming children for s—x abuse, bodily mutilation, terrorism and gruesome blood rituals has been sentenced to 77 years in…
A transgender member of a violent satanic death cult network was sentenced to 77 years in federal prison Wednesday after pleading guilty to sexually exploiting and terrorizing underage girls around the world and grooming them into mutilating themselves and torturing animals to death.
Kyle William Spitze, 27, pleaded guilty in late 2024 to producing child sexual abuse material (CSAM), possessing and accessing with the intent to view CSAM and helping distribute animal torture videos, but he wasn’t sentenced until Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Thomas A. Varlan. The judge sentenced him to the entirety of what the prosecution had sought.
Spitze is a leader of the “HarmNation” group, which is part of the “764” satanic accelerationist cult-like online network.
The decentralized network of mostly teen boys and young men grooms its minor victims into producing child sex abuse material of themselves, mutilating their bodies, abusing or killing animals and, in some cases, committing suicide and/or killing others. They often target victims on online gaming platforms popular with children, such as Minecraft and Roblox.
Prosecutors have identified at least 30 victims of Spitze. At least two of them ended up committing suicide, and Spitze himself bragged he had "thousands" of victims.
As a parent, this is horrifying. Thankfully, I monitor my sons' social media use and connections precisely to protect them from monsters like this. But how many parents don't even know this is a thing, let alone grasp the serious depravity the "764" network is engaged in.
According to a Substack journalist who goes by "Bx," Spitze was "among the most sadistic and prolific members" of the group. Her tale of the sentencing, including the victim impact statements, is harrowing:
There [have] been so many days and sleepless nights where I’ve wished that I was dead. Where the pain of having to see the abuse that she and other victims suffered was so unbearable that I couldn’t breathe, let alone imagine how I would make it through the day. But, I did make it and I am proud to say that you and your group really f***ed with the wrong mum.
I will not rest until I am satisfied that I’ve exhausted every avenue available when it comes to seeing 764 be torn down. Your victims are so strong and I’m so proud of each and every one of them for finding and supporting each other to heal from what you did to them.
My heartfelt hope is that the judge imposes the maximum sentence available so you are made to suffer, as a reminder of what you’ve done to your victims, every day for the rest of your pathetic, miserable life.”
In a world where career criminals, no matter how depraved or violent, seem to go free regardless of who they've hurt, it's a relief to know that monsters like Spitze will never see the light of day again. It shows it can be done if the prosecutors and the judge have the political will to toss these monsters behind bars and lose the key.
