A neo-Nazi former porn actor who fantasized about launching a white supremacist “ground war” against the U.S. government, destroying electrical substations and assassinating political enemies was sentenced to six years in prison on Thursday.

Paul Kryscuk, 38, had pleaded guilty to conspiracy to damage an energy facility.

Justin Hermanson, a 25-year-old Marine Corps veteran and Kryscuk’s co-defendant who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to manufacture firearms and ship interstate, received a sentence of one year and nine months in prison....

Three neo-Nazis alleged to have planned an attack on the energy grid as part of a plot to launch a race war are set to go before a federal judge on Thursday for sentencing.

Liam Montgomery Collins, a one-time Marine who allegedly led the neo-Nazi terror cell known as “BSN”; Paul Kryscuk, a former porn actor; and Justin Hermanson, who also served in the Marine Corps, are expected to appear before Judge Richard E. Myers in federal court in Wilmington, N.C.

Kryscuk pleaded guilty to conspiracy to damage an energy facility, while Collins and Hermanson respectively pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting the interstate transportation of unregistered firearms, and conspiracy to manufacture firearms and ship interstate. ...

Marine Corps veteran and avowed neo-Nazi Jordan Duncan plans to plead guilty to a charge of conspiracy to manufacture firearms, Raw Story has learned.

Raymond Tarlton, Duncan’s lawyer, told Raw Story his client anticipates entering a guilty plea during a hearing scheduled in federal court in Wilmington, N.C., on June 24.

Federal prosecutors filed a superseding charge of conspiracy to illegally manufacture firearms — specifically, a rifle with a barrel less than 16 inches long — against Duncan earlier this month. The charge overrode an earlier indictment with more extensive charges, including one related to an alleged scheme to sabotage electrical substations as part of an alleged plot to launch a race war....

Federal prosecutors in North Carolina are considering a plan that allows a neo-Nazi defendant to review discovery evidence from a seized hard drive that contained classified documents at a secure FBI facility.

The plan is described in a notice jointly filed by prosecutors in the Eastern District of North Carolina and defendant Jordan Duncan. The notice confirms reporting earlier this week by Raw Story that the government inadvertently turned over classified information to Duncan.

Referencing the snafu, the filing late Friday discloses that “the government will be separately discussing with counsel for defendant and potentially filing a motion requesting that the raw data be kept by the FBI, and arrangements made by the defense computer forensic expert to perform the analysis they would undertake within the FBI space.” ...

Federal prosecutors inadvertently turned over classified information to avowed white supremacist Jordan Duncan, who is preparing for trial on charges related to an alleged plot to attack the power grid and launch a race war, his lawyer tells Raw Story.

Raymond Tarlton, Duncan’s lawyer, made a startling classified material discovery on Feb. 22 when the government turned over a batch of files to the defense team.

“We all of a sudden realized there was classified information produced to us,” Tarlton told Raw Story, explaining that his defense team gave the classified material back to the government. “No one on our defense team has a security clearance … It’s put a big pause in our preparations for them to cure what they call ‘spillage.’...

Liam Collins, a Marine Corps veteran who helped found a neo-Nazi terror cell accused of planning a terrorist attack on the nation’s power grid, has pleaded guilty to a felony charge of interstate transportation of an unregistered firearm.

While pleading guilty to transporting an illegal firearm, Collins pleaded not guilty to more serious charges of conspiracy to manufacture firearms and ship interstate, and conspiracy to damage an energy facility.

Collins’ plea deal — made Tuesday in federal court in Wilmington, N.C. — was not publicly available on PACER, the federal court website, and Don Connelly, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina, declined to provide a copy of it to Raw Story. ...
