Seth Aaron Pendley, 28, of Wichita Falls, pleaded guilty Wednesday to malicious attempt to destroy a building with an explosive and faces five to 20 years in federal prison, the Justice Department said.
“We may never know how many tech workers’ lives were saved through this operation – and we’re grateful we never had to find out. Bringing to justice domestic extremists remains one of the Department’s top priorities,” Acting U.S. Attorney Prerak Shah said in a statement. Pendley gave this source a list of data center addresses he was targeting and hand-drawn maps. When the source offered to help him obtain C4 explosives, Pendley responded: “Fuck yeah.” The source then introduced Pendley to an undercover FBI employee, who was identified to Pendley as an explosives supplier, authorities said.
