The tragic death of Andy Finch was allegedly the result of a gaming dispute that prompted a player to contact Tyler Raj Barriss, also known as “SWAuTistic” for his propensity to employ swatting as well as to make false bomb claims. Barriss claimed during an interview that he had caused an evacuation of the FCC.

The only recent FCC evacuation was on December 14 during the net neutrality vote. It briefly made national headlines, adding to the drama of a heavily monitored event as the FCC voted to rescind the Obama administrations net neutrality rules.

Barriss, or someone claiming to be “SWAuTistic,” makes the claim about the FCC after the 8 minute mark. He doesn’t explicitly mention the net neutrality incident, but no other incidents of FCC evacuations have been reported. He also claimed to have caused the evacuation of a Major League Gaming event in Dallas.

“Sometimes people will send me money on Paypal to SWAT someone, though typically since I kind of just work alone and do my own thing,” he said. “I just look for things to evacuate. It didn’t take a team of people to evacuate MLG Dallas. I just did that by myself. Same thing with the FCC. I just evacuated stuff for fun to get it on TV.”

Throughout the interview, the person claiming to be “SWAuTistic” expressed no remorse until the very end and continuously pointed fingers at other people who should share the blame for Finch’s death.
