Aman has been charged with aiding and abetting extortion threats and conspiracy after he placed fireworks disguised as a bomb on the campus of Harvard University, according to a federal criminal complaint.
William Giordani told authorities he had responded to an April 11 Craigslist ad from the parent of a Harvard student asking for help delivering some items to his eldest son, the complaint said. The gig offered to pay $300, according to the complaint.
Days later, on April 13, Harvard University police received a call from a Google Voice number with a “computer-generated male voice” threatening to detonate three bombs that had been placed on the campus if the university did not pay an unspecified Bitcoin amount, the complaint said.
“There are bombs on campus and we are ready to provide proof. Do not hang up,” the caller said. “This is not a joke, a prank, or a drill. There are real lives at stake today.”
The caller continued: “Non-compliance with our orders will result in immediate detonation of all three devices and the death or injury of hundreds of students. We will know if you try to issue any messages to students or faculty via text or email.”
It is unclear if the person who listed the Craigslist ad and Giordani are the same person.
Giordani will have a detention hearing on Friday, when an attorney will be appointed to him if necessary, the court told CNN in an email Wednesday.
