back to article Bloke jailed for trying to blow up UK crypto-cash biz after it failed to reset his account password

A 43-year-old fella has been sentenced to six and a half years in prison for attempted murder – after sending a bomb to a British cryptocoin firm over its failure to reset his account password. According to London's Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command, Jermu Michael Salonen, a resident of Gullspång, Sweden, sent a …

    To the world at large (ie not resident in the USA) London means London, England. Just like Paris means Paris, France. If you need to distinguish them from London, Ohio or Paris, Texas then please do so, but don't assume that the rest of the world is confused about which is the world city and which is the obscure USA town.

      If we don't say it's UK/England then we get a load of comments and emails complaining that there's a London, Ontario, or London, France.

      That had me wondering as well. I almost wonder if, since the guy opening it didn't open the letter by the normal means (almost as if he knew something)....

      But nah, can't be anything suspect there. Just a weird set of coincidences that it was sent to the wrong address, but months later the right people moved into the address, that it wasn't opened in that time, that it was left behind when the previous occupants moved out, that the previous occupants didn't forward it on to the right address...

        Then something goes wrong:

        "Our new place's not ready yet. We need another few months".

        "But we've already given out the new address".

        "Don't worry, we'll bung any letters into the cupboard in the storeroom. If it's urgent they'll use email".

          I'm the AC you're replying to..

          It kinda works but... Unless the bomb itself was kinda small, it'd be in a package (even a courier one) more than a letter. Letter bombs are old, but from what I have seen of them they were still at least the size of a pack of cigarettes. Well, thinner, but larger length x width. And the article does say it was in a "padded envelope". (was also sent via international mail supposedly, missed that first time I read the article!)

          BTW, this was an accounting firm who received the item. They get all sorts of stuff through the mail at times, probably packed in all sorts of ways as well. A padded envelope wouldn't exactly be weird though having the probably detectable shape might've been. Also, an accounting firm would know the importance of either returning or forwarding mis-addressed stuff.

          Lots of people still send stuff through the post, although much much less than used to. Some of that stuff is urgent and some is valuable. I'd say "ignore it at your peril" but obviously in this case that wasn't so.

          And still the question of why it took them so long to get caught up on their packages....

          It may be all in innocence, but it does smell a bit like that meat I forgot to put away from the BBQ last week that spent 3 days in the back yard in the glass covered dish..

    I appreciate that language and the meaning thereof can change over time. But surely trying to kill someone in a business quarrel isn't terrorism? Terrorism is about attempting to create terror for political purposes, frequently involving violence. But violence != terror.

      When the police are alerted to a bomb threat, do you really think that they assume it's not a terrorist ? What reason would they have to do that ?

      Knowing how to make a functional, deadly bomb is not something that is common. Hell, actual terrorists have been known to foul it up. So when you do discover a bomb somewhere, your first thought is certainly not "oh, this is just from some bloke who didn't like how the helldesk drone handled his call".

      A bomb is terrorism, it is not just violence. Frankly, I think he got off light. He has the skills, and lacks the restraint. I'd have sent him down for the maximum.

        While I understand where you are coming from, I think you've fallen into an assumption trap that's very the key point of the issue.

        That a Bomb in a letter = terrorism

        Could as easily be an attempt at a targeted assassination.

        While a phone call, even to threaten or claim to have placed a bomb or random member of the public finding one in a bag at a public place could clearly be an attempt to sow terror, rigging one to specifically or attempt to specifically exact retribution by death or maiming is another.

        I'm not saying either is at all justified, but blurring the distinction or assumptions due to current popular fears is not helpful.

        Knowing how to make a functional, deadly bomb is not something that is common. Hell, actual terrorists have been known to foul it up.

        Actually, with limited electrical knowledge, it's pretty easy to make all sorts of IEDS. In the cabinet in the garage I have enough bits, tools and "chemicals" to make some interesting explosive devices that while low-yield will be enough to kill anyone close to it, perhaps kill others (eg something that knocks out a car's brakes at a certain speed - fairly easy to do these days with little thought and gadgetry[1]). All you have to do is trigger a switch at the right time, and that switch can then do all sorts of things that can result in death.

        An explosive doesn't have to be big to kill. I could probably generate enough force with a single stroke from a bicycle pump to propel an item hard enough to kill someone IF it hits them in the right place, is sharp enough etc. Most people know how to make things ignite and 'explode', and it takes little thought to come up with something small but effective. Many people however go for more complex ideas that require a large number of moving parts or electronics, to be sure they get the person they're after. [2]

        A bomb is terrorism, it is not just violence.

        No. A bomb is not terrorism, though it may be used by terrorists as part of their plots. However, equating bombs with terrorism could in itself be a form of terrorism, as you're promoting a view that makes people more afraid (ie more 'terrorised') of the world around them and when every little attempt at murder, sabotage etc is called 'an act of terror,' that increases the sense that 'terror is everywhere' and the world is not generally safe. That is what terrorism is; causing people to be afraid.

        Use the term as it should be used, don't weaken it by equating some brat having a hissy fit with a group who would rather maim your kids then let you have a peaceful life. By mis-using such words you rob the world of some of its peace.

        [1] I was going to suggest something that I have the parts for already (except the actual payload) in generic devices and components (eg relays and electrical wire), but realised that such a comment could fall under "publishing information of interest to terrorists" or somesuch, at which time it could actually be a crime.

        [2] For the record, my thoughts come from experience, and my experience involves working with volatile chemicals and compounds and having to know the 5 ways NOT to cause accidental ignition, vs the million ways that guarantee ignition.

          hand soap (liquid)

          chlorine bleach

          a large assortment of insecticides and herbicides

          I can, with only a little effort and some glassware, make the following items using the above:

          nitrocellulose

          nitroglycerin

          TNT

          napalm

          several different plastic explosives

          at least three different nerve agents

          mustard gas

          phosgene

          and more. Making a bomb would merely require packing some explosive into a container with/without extras to generate fragmentation, plus a timer (a clock or a watch; I've got those, too) or a remote detonator (a cell phone; those could be set to alarm and function as timers, too). Most of the explosive creation methods would be easily in the reach of anyone who has passed high school chemistry. Making sarin or napalm or nitroglycerin is easy, and making TNT or plastic explosives isn't that hard. Look up PETN and/or RDX. (Bad idea if you're actually intending to blow something up, unless you use someone else's account to do the looking up.) (PETN is derived from 19th century chemistry; it's trivial to make today.)

The audio output goes to a relay or other electronic switching device. Using custom sound files, you can cause the switch to be triggered with a number of events.[1]

I've made and used ANFO (for stump blasting, quite legal). Most of us have set off fireworks. Ever mix vinegar and baking soda? Etc.

        Seriously, it's not rocket science. Literally ... rocket science involves making it NOT blow up!

          Re: surely trying to kill someone in a business quarrel isn't terrorism?

          Dammit Jake, stop posting stuff I agree with!

          I must find some stumps to remove. I haven't played with fun toys since I was a kid on a farm! Thanks for the memories! :)

          Maybe city folks with office jobs and severely over-protected childhoods didn't have the same fun growing up we of a more rural persuasion did. Maybe the closest they came to chemistry was perfecting the output of the coffee maker whereas some of us were perfecting safe changes of states of matter (like from solid wood to vapour/powder in 'one all-consuming pillar of fire').

          Perhaps city folk just don't get it, how easy it is to make things go boom from stuff you have lying around the house. A can of fly spray and an electric heater with a timer would probably suffice for a demonstration.....

        "A bomb is terrorism, it is not just violence."

        No, it's not. It's only terrorism when used to terrorize. Otherwise it's just another tool in the box, albeit a slightly more powerful tool than the average screwdriver.

        "When the police are alerted to a bomb threat, do you really think that they assume it's not a terrorist ? What reason would they have to do that ?"

        Because most calls to the Bomb Squad have absolutely nothing to do with so-called "terrorists", that's why. They are called for everything from old, unknown chemicals found in an abandoned barn or warehouse to finding a "practice grenade" in the kit of deceased Uncle Bob to a blasting company finding a box of weeping dynamite to school kids calling in a bomb threat to get out of exams to leaky propane tanks to fuel spills. Basically anything that might, conceivably, explode justifies calling them out. Such calls happen quite regularly in most jurisdictions.

          @jake you left out the one of probably zero relevance to you, but chart-topper for a lot of us here in the Old World - someone digging up yet another late complimentary gift from World War II. It's the only occasion I remember repeatedly reading about in the news, involving the bomb squad (that isn't a suspicious bag discovered somewhere).

      Re: Counter Terrorism Command?

      Or have they just bundled bombs 'n white powder 'n stuff in with the Terror-plods for pay-and-rations convenience?

      Basically, yes.

      Doesn't matter if it doesn't quite fit the profile or intent - 'terror' might get a stiffer sentence, more a pat on the back (or head) to plod.

      It's as if they think no one will thank them for catching a random nutcase whose thought processes have gone off the rails it has to be an 'international conspiracy' even if that is a conspiracy of one nutter who happens to live abroad.

      Given the chance, some uniformed bod will try to push the more surveillance donation plate on the back of this on any convenient cue in order to further an Orwellian agenda.

    sent a functional explosive device in a padded envelope

    ... expecting a refund in return?!

    p.s. yeah, yeah, I know, it blew in his face, aka misfired, whateva!

    Which is the nutter?

    It says a lot about the modern world that I read this story, and couldn't help but think that of the two, the nutter was the person who opened the envelope from the middle. Bomb makers seem to be so commonplace that they hardly count as nutters any more.

    And on the subject of opening an envelope from the middle - who does that!? How do you even do that without ripping the contents...?

    "Salonen seemingly made and sent a device that had the capability to seriously harm and even kill over something as inconsequential as a change of password.

    I've know a fair number of inpatient people that would get pissy about the security policies surrounding password resets but yikes!

      Good thing they were inpatients, then. I'd hate for them to be out and about on their own if something that small can set them off.

      I gotta ask.. Did you actually mean to type "inpatient" (as in the patients in the nut house, or those who should be), or did you mean impatient?

      Either way works well :)
