A Florida teen, 17, has been arrested in connection with the hack of major accounts of public figures on Twitter that occurred earlier this month, according to reports.

The July 15th hack included breaches of the accounts of former President Barack Obama, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Artist Kanye West, and others soliciting investments in the popular cryptocurrency ‘Bitcoin.’

“These crimes were perpetrated using the names of famous people and celebrities, but they’re not the primary victims here,” Hillsborough State Attorney Andrew Warren said in a statement, according to ABC News.

“This ‘Bit-Con’ was designed to steal money from regular Americans from all over the country, including here in Florida. This massive fraud was orchestrated right here in our backyard, and we will not stand for that.”

According to ABC, the teen faces 30 felony charges.

Late last week this publication reported on viral video showing the moment when the Texas National Guard was pummeled by migrants who broke barriers in place rioting to get into the United States. This week it was learned that many of the illegal immigrants who stormed the Texas border in El Paso have been processed and released into the U.S. according to numerous reports, including from New York Post reporter Jennie Taer who initially posted the video on X.

”This sends the message to people around the world that even if you act like this you can probably get into the country,” Taer said, according to The Daily Wire. “And I think they continue to push these boundaries and to see what they can get away with and here they got away with some really, really scary stuff.”

The Post also reported that El Paso’s migrant dashboard showed that 743 people were released from custody and into the U.S. on Thursday, either on parole or to pursue asylum claims. The same dashboard shows that 2,000 to 2,500 people are held in Border Patrol custody on a nightly basis, according to Just the News.
