California man charged with threatening to ‘unabomb’ FBI field office

He alleged started sending threatening emails to the field office in July.

Mark Anten, of Sun Valley, California, started in July allegedly sending threatening emails to the field office, referred to himself as the “Unabomber” and continued to send threatening messages through December — even visiting the office to “scope” it out, prosecutors said.

“Specifically, on November 2, 2023, ANTEN emailed FBI agents saying he ’embrace[d]’ that he was voted most likely in his graduating class to become the next Unabomber. In this email, ANTEN listed similarities between himself and the Unabomber, proclaimed that he was working on a manifesto, and signed his email ‘Unabomber,'” the court documents filed Wednesday say.

He then sent a screenshot of his Google search which allegedly showed instructions on how to make a dirty bomb, and a few hours later on Dec. 6, he showed up to the office, but did not have any weapons, documents show.

The complaint alleges Anten has a history of making threats online.
