George Soros's Estate Latest Target in 'Swatting' Prank Wave

False 911 call prompts police response, highlighting growing trend of criminal pranks targeting high-profile figures.

George Soros's estate in Southampton Village, New York, was the latest target of a 'swatting' prank, a false police report of a violent crime intended to prompt a SWAT team response.
Other recent victims of swatting include Reps. Brandon Williams (R-NY) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, and Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows.
The false 911 call to Soros's estate claimed a man had shot his wife and was considering suicide, but was quickly determined to be a hoax after police arrived at the scene.
Swatting is a criminal act that not only terrorizes the victims but also wastes law enforcement resources that could be used for actual emergencies.
Soros, a billionaire and Democratic megadonor, is known for backing far-left prosecutor candidates and efforts to overhaul the criminal justice system.
