Overview

Kyle Spitze's Arrest and the 764 Discord Cult Crackdown refer to the February 2024 arrest of 24-year-old Kyle W. Spitze, who originally went viral for a video of his mom's late boyfriend Jeffery Scott West shooting him. Spitze leaked the video on social media in January 2024 as it spread on Reddit and Twitter / X. Then, Spitze was accused by many of leading a Satanic cult on Discord and Telegram known as 764 that allegedly harbored illegal, underage pornography and torture videos. Spitze's username on Discord was "criminal." Spitze and other 764 moderators were arrested by the FBI in late February 2024, leading to discourse and reactions online. The arrest came after the mysterious murder of Spitze's mother Melanie Spitze. Some alleged that Spitze was responsible for her death as well.

Background

Jeffery Scott West Shooting Kyle Spitze and Jeffery Scott West's Death

On August 25th, 2023, the Blount County Sheriff's Department responded to a call in Freindsville, Tennessee, about a shooting started by a domestic dispute.^[1] One man, 68-year-old Jeffery Scott West, had barricaded himself inside the home. He later committed suicide by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.^[1] Before his death, West had shot his partner's son, 24-year-old Kyle Spitze, in the right ear. It was a non-fatal wound and he was taken to the hospital for treatment shortly after.^[1]

The story went largely dormant until January 15th, 2024, when X^[2] user @sag posted a video that was purportedly taken by Spitze on the night of the incident. In the video, West is seen pointing a gun at Spitze, eventually shooting him. It's visible that Spitze is bleeding on the ground after the shot and he runs out of the house soon after. Over two days, the post gained roughly 31.5 million views and 84,000 likes (screenshot shown below).

The video then went viral on Reddit^[3] and in other viral X^[4] posts in January 2024. In turn, many on X^[5] went viral for posts that used the screencap of the gun going off.

Kyle Spitze Allegations

On January 16th, 2024, X^[6] user @babyteethgirl tweeted, "I cannot believe my ex has gone viral LMFAO," in reference to Kyle W. Spitze. She further stated, "I hope it haunts him for the rest of his life what he is doing to me and multiple other girls and CHILDREN" (shown below, left).

@babyteethgirl continued in another tweet^[7] that Spitze had allegedly posted revenge porn of her, other women and minors to make money off them. She also alleged that he was a part of an online group called 764 (shown below, right). Other X^[8]^[9] users on the same day levied similar accusations.

The two aforementioned tweets from @babyteethgirl were used in a thread created by X^[3] user @dyingscribe on January 15th, which attempted to build evidence that Spitze was allegedly a groomer.

Some, like X^[10] user @GamesNosh on January 17th, 2024, resurfaced a post from the subreddit /r/NExpo,^[11] shared on July 25th, 2023, about "Discord and the grooming and extortion cult," centering on groups nicknamed "harm nation, 764, slitbunnies and starved summer." The Redditor also namedropped "Kyle William Spitze" and his Discord name "criminal" (shown below).

Discord and the grooming and extortion cult (self.NExpo) submitted 5 months ago by You may know about the darker corners of discord and the internet as a whole but this is some of the most sick stuff I've seen in my life, I found these servers 4 weeks ago, they mainly operate under the DISBOARD sh and Ed Tag specifically to target underage vulnerable girls. There are many groups with hundreds-thousands of members, some names to look out for are "harm nation, 764, slitbunnies and starved summer. They groom these girls, extort them for nudes, cutsigns (having the person cut their name on their arm),make them kill their pets and other animals like birds and mice, drink their own urine and eat their own fesses, etc. These people also enjoy sharing the ridiculous amount of cp, gore, and nazi propaganda they have between their servers and telegram chats. There's hundreds of screenshots of them doing this publicly in their servers, ridiculing the girls after they extort them by leaking their videos/pictures. They've done so much more and there is so much evidence to prove that they've done these horrible things yet they still walk around completely free, some of them having previous charges for sexual misconduct with minor. We are at the point where children have to protect other children from these sick people because authorities refuse to acknowledge this is going on. If you have any information on them, please DM this Reddit account and I will try my best to get back to you quickly, any information is useful Some notable names to avoid that are associated with these groups are: heaven, cynic, Ubay, reginmyre, criminal (Kyle William Spitze), Yuri, neo, godvert, cxrpse, kush, flar, rabid, convict, culprit, keep 101, distraught. I really hope these people get what is coming to them, can't add pictures and videos in the same post but please see a video of one of them admitting what they do in a vc, if you would like anymore evidence I have hundreds of screenshots of these guys 72 comments source share save hide report crosspost hide all child comments

In another tweet on January 15th, 2024,^[12] a part of @dyingscribe's thread, the user shared two screenshots of Discord messages with the user "criminal," speculated to be Kyle W. Spitze (shown below).

X^[13] user @dyingscribe also shared a link to an /r/confessions^[14] post from June 23rd, 2022, in which the Redditor, OldRain7463, outlined the 764 Discord server that was purportedly known for "grooming minors and making them cut themselves." According to them, the 764 server was repeatedly banned but the admins would always regroup on Telegram.

Death of Melanie Spitze

On February 1st, 2024, X^[15] user @bx_on_x started a thread, leading with, "EXCLUSIVE – I’ve been alerted by a confidential source that Kyle Spitze, the man shot by his stepdad in the viral video below, has made several social media posts stating that his mother has been murdered."

@bx_on_x alleged multiple claims that were coming from her trusted source in an unnamed Telegram group where Spitze was sharing "disturbing content" such as "a graphic video of his dead mother, in which he 'appears to grope her breasts' while crying, along with photos of bloodied sheets." The post gained over 82,100 views and 350 likes in one month (shown below, left, click to expand).

In a follow-up tweet,^[16] @bx_on_x stated that the police in Friendsville, Tennessee had confirmed Melanie Spitze's death. @bx_on_x also shared a post from Spitze's Facebook that further confirmed his mother's passing (shown below, right).

Bx @bx_on_x EXCLUSIVE - I've been alerted by a confidential source that Kyle Spitze, the man shot by his stepdad in the viral video below, has made several social media posts stating that his mother has been murdered. In his Telegram group yesterday, Spitze allegedly shared a graphic video of his dead mother, in which he "appears to grope her breasts" while crying, along with photos of bloodied sheets. Another video shows Spitze heavily slurring his words while talking to EMS officials, stating his mother is dead. A picture of his dead mother was temporarily posted on his Instagram page, and Spitze bizarrely posted a GoFundMe for his family on Facebook the day after her death. Spitze is alleged by several victims to be involved with a child abuse cult called "764", which the FBI claims is an offshoot of the Satanic cult Order of Nine Angles. My source sent me disturbing content shared by Spitze that seems to confirm this affiliation, including a Telegram post where an individual sharing a username with Spitze claims he has groomed 2600+ victims and hopes to reach 3000 before getting "fedded". : His Instagram page is similarly a wild ride of criminal activity, including videos where he's injecting pieces of candy with an unknown substance, followed by images of fentanyl. Other videos contain a variety of drugs and illegal guns. In one video a person fires an automatic handgun (yes, an automatic) into the air in a neighborhood. 0:34 In addition to all of the sick online behavior and SUPER OBVIOUS criminal activity, a number of victims have also gone to the police asking for Spitze to be placed behind bars. However, neither the police nor the FBI have taken any action, and Spitze has been widely portrayed by the media as a helpless victim in the encounter with his stepdad, which ended in a standoff during which his stepdad committed suicide. 12:10 AM.
