“Greggy’s Cult” — the online sextortion crew taken down by the feds this week — was linked to an international neo-Nazi network that has duped kids into horrific sex acts, self-mutilation and even murder, The Post has learned. The five alleged ringleaders of the twisted group scoured online gaming sites for vulnerable victims as young as 11, terrorizing them into providing sexually explicit videos and marking their bodies to show their loyalty to the creeps, Brooklyn federal prosecutors said in an indictment unsealed Tuesday. But that was just the tip of the iceberg, according to the feds and law enforcement sources. Members of a loosely linked wider network of sickos known as “764” — a perverted crew of online predators founded by then-15-year-old Texas dropout Bradley Cadenhead in 2020 — were also part of the sickening Greggy’s Cult, prosecutors said. “Greggy’s Cult came into existence before another sadistic extortion network, 764, and prominent members of 764 and other similar networks that followed were also members of Greggy’s Cult,” the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York said in a statement. Victims of 764, typically vulnerable youngsters struggling with their sexuality, eating disorders or mental health issues, are recruited on gaming sites like Roblox and lured into messaging apps like Discord. That’s where cult members begin to manipulate the fragile children, officials said. “Victims are often pressured to engage in increasingly extreme behaviors to test their ‘loyalty’ to their abuser, such as killing family pets or asphyxiating themselves,” the ADL report said. “Self-harm, particularly cutting, is also extremely common among individuals associated with 764.” According to the report, Cadenhead’s 764 was inspired by another neo-Nazi group, known as the Maniac Murder Cult, or MKY, started in Russia and Ukraine as early as 2017.
