Wow, that article was basically a cut and paste of the DOJ release, neither of which said why he was only charged with four counts if he’s done it over 300 times. Thanks, NBC! 🙄

My guess is that he is only being charged with provable swats after he was 18, greatly reducing the counts.
Just speculating here, but if a few additional counts aren't likely to add significant time to his sentence, they might also be saving some for later in case they lose or the case gets thrown out for some reason.
I kind of just want to send him letters in prison, pages long of just, "hahahahah."
For good measure, throw in a couple of fake screenshots of users on 4chan and Reddit calling him a "script kiddie". That will get much deeper under his skin than spam will.
SWAT him in prison.
Prisons are awful. Put him under house arrest and then swat him. Say he's got the manifesto stashed in his pooper.
"He claimed in a Jan. 19, 2023, online post that his ‘first’ swatting was like ‘2 to 3 years ago’ and that ‘6-9 months ago [he] decided to turn it into a business,’" prosecutors said, noting Filion posted on social media advertising his services.
Tbh impressive
What's impressive about that? He was shit/stupid enough to get caught also.
It's kind of impressive it's taken him this long to get caught, I guess?
i mean he advertised on social media.
As if the feds weren't all over that.
