Vice:
Torswats carries out these threatening calls as part of a paid service they offer. For $75, Torswats says they will close down a school. For $50, Torswats says customers can buy “extreme swattings,” in which authorities will handcuff the victim and search the house. Torswats says they offer discounts to returning customers, and can negotiate prices for “famous people and targets such as Twitch streamers.”
...
Motherboard has determined that Torswats' other targets include a CBD shop in Florida; the corporate headquarters of a Bethesda, Maryland, intelligence company that tracks extremism; and multiple private residences across Virginia, Massachusetts, Texas, California, and more.
Of course:
i like how we're treating this problem as though SWAT teams are an uncontrollable, natural phenomenon; like a tornado or killer bees https://t.co/kMy7ObYQD1
