YouTuber ‘The Quartering’ is putting up a massive $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person or group responsible for a series of swattings involving podcast host Tim Pool.

2022 has been a crazy year so far, but for Timcast host Tim Pool, it’s been a dangerous one, to say the least.

So far, Pool has had to deal with five separate swatting incidents with armed police showing up to his studio and now even his own personal home.

With the dangers appearing to escalate, fellow YouTuber TheQuartering is stepping up to help his friend by putting some money on the line in hopes of finding whoever is responsible.

They should be able to trace the culprit

So the police will swat you on an automated phone call?

“ massive $10,000 reward “

I’m guessing that YT wrote the script - ahem, “press release” - for this story.

You mean there have been five bogus calls to 911 for the same address and the police still respond?

I have no idea how they are doing it, but of course you can set your phone for wireless calling through your home network, and you are asked to input an address for 911 - it could be any address, I assume.

And considering all the fake calls I get showing them coming from local exchanges, it must not be hard to fake.

It will take a while if they’ve used multiple VPNs and proxy servers for their setup.

If this happened even once to one of the “important” people, they would have tracked down and arrested the person within 24 hours.

The following are purely clinical terms.
Clinical progression is: Idiot, Imbicile, Moron.

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
Fool me three times, I am an idiot.
Fool me four times, I am an imbicile.
Fool me five times, I am a moron.

Now we know why law enforcement does not catch on.

They got that gear so they gotta use it. And dont forget the adrenaline high they crave.

Tim Pool owns what could be considered a compound, sine he’s out in the boonies maybe he should consider making part of it a police substation. If you have a cop or sheriff there at the time they might be able to call off the response.

Don’t the cops think it’s the least little bit strange that they can calls about the exact same address and person so often? Maybe the police are in on it.

Prank call to police in hopes the SWAT team will be used on the victim.

I hope they are caught and go away for a looooong time.

And the police believe every call they get? Someone needs to be fired. How does someone not say, “Wait, that’s Tim Pool’s house... AGAIN!”

I can’t watch a channel that has to substitute words every other sentence. The quarterling is one of the worse.
