This is a breaking news story. More news to come.
A former LifeInvader employee has been charged with several serious felony counts in relation to the deadly Air Emu 637 crash earlier this month, a joint task team reported at a press conference today.
The FIB, alongside the LSPD and SADOT, have charged Cameron Braddock with nine counts of murder in the first degree, one count of attempted murder in the first degree and three counts relating to cybercrime. If Braddock receives maximum penalties for these crimes, he would serve 101 years in prison and face more than $200,000 in fines. Braddock is currently held in federal custody.
The task team maintains that Braddock did not act alone. They now report with more confidence that the Collective is involved in this offence due to Braddock's connection to the extremist hacking group. His co-conspirators remain at large.
The Collective has been responsible for several data breaches and theft against private companies, including LifeInvader. In previous attacks, they have leaked sensitive data online publicly, putting thousands at risk.
Known members have been tied to money laundering operations via cryptocurrecy, leading to an investigation in 2023 into the Paragon Crypto Exchange and its owner, Kaidan Long, a former LifeInvader technician. That investigation was tied closely to an investigation into the Torres Cartel's money laundering operations.
Cyber attacks on state infrastructure, including the power grid, transportation and digital networks have all been attributed to the Collective. Millions of dollars have been stolen from private banks across San Andreas in previous heists, resulting in enhanced cybersecurity measures being implemented in 2024 and 2025.
ACT OF TERROR!
ACT OF TERROR!
The task team is now, "formally seeking a terrorist designation for Cameron Braddock and the Collective," Mazur announced Friday evening. A request has been made to the Office of the Governor to apply the state's harshest label to the group.
In San Andreas, a terrorist designation can only be authorized by any of the three branches of government:
An executive order by the Governor of the State of San Andreas.
A judgement by the Supreme Court of San Andreas.
A majority vote by the San Andreas State Senate.
"Seeking the designation during an election period is a controversial move," said Jacob Marques, political science professor at the University of San Andreas, Los Santos. "It is one of the state's most criminalized labels; and one of the hardest to get."
Marques is concerned about the precedent that seeking an executive designation will cause. To date, no governor has issued a terrorist designation.
The task team is awaiting a response from the governor's office. They were unavailable for comment before the deadline.
NOT THE END
NOT THE END
Mazur shared at the press conference that the investigation into the fatal Air Emu attack is not yet over. The FIB is continuing to execute warrants, conduct interviews, recover electronic evidence and make arrests in relation to the attack.
"People should expect the FIB to arrest individuals," Mazur said. "This investigation remains active and additional arrests are possible." Mazur stated that the motive behind the attack has not yet been established.
Freedom groups online have spoken out against the FIB's tactics in this investigation. "We have seen a rise in online rhetoric concerning the FIB's approach to this case. Pursuing a terrorist designation, calling out an organization and not sharing any information? Looks like they're after blanket jurisdiction to arrest and question anyone they want," one anonymous poster wrote.
Late last week, the FIB announced the arrests of three other individuals in relation to the attack. So far, only Braddock has been named. Why is the FIB protecting the identity of those first arrested for the deaths of nine? Why were they so quick to name Braddock after his arrest?
At the press conference, the task team did not acknowledge the other arrests made on Saturday.
