The harassment got worse from there, authorities said. She received an anonymous email with nude photos of herself and a threat to release them to the public. Her boss got a note saying she had a sexually transmitted disease. The company got anonymous faxes saying she was anti-Semitic. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children got a note saying the woman watched child porn.

The ADL said Friday that Thompson had been on its radar since he fabricated the story about Roof. According to ADL research, Thompson had also claimed that he wanted to dismantle the system of “racial supremacy and greedy capitalism that is stacked against us.” He said he was going to run for mayor of St. Louis last year to “fight back against Trumpian fascism and socio-economic terrorism.”

He created a GoFundMe page to raise $5,000 for his election bid. He got $25, the ADL said.

“We are relieved and gratified that the FBI has made an arrest in these cases,” said Jonathan A. Greenblatt, head of the ADL. “We look forward to the quick resolution of the remaining open cases.”
