Shocking FBI Raid: Baby-Faced Sam Altman at the Center of Arson Investigation

The FBI conducted a search at the residence of a young suspect from Texas, accused of targeting OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s opulent mansion with a Molotov cocktail.

The individual, identified by the San Francisco Chronicle, is 20-year-old Daniel Moreno-Gama.

According to the San Francisco Police Department, Moreno-Gama allegedly launched the incendiary device at Altman’s California residence shortly after 4 a.m. PST on Friday, before escaping the scene on foot.

Within an hour, authorities were notified of a disturbance at OpenAI’s headquarters on 3rd Street in San Francisco, where a man reportedly threatened to set the building on fire.

Officers identified the man as the same suspect involved in the earlier incident at Altman’s mansion and swiftly apprehended him. Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries.

On Monday, Fox News spotted dozens of FBI agents executing a search warrant outside Moreno-Gama’s Texas home. 

Moreno-Gama is accused of traveling from the Lone Star State to California to try to kill the OpenAI CEO because of his anti-AI views.

Sources told Fox News that Moreno-Gama was carrying a manifesto when he was arrested, described as a ‘three-part series’ listing other AI executives and their addresses.

On Sunday, Altman’s mansion was attacked again for the second time in just two days, according to the San Francisco Police Department.

Altman owns the $27 million Lombard Street mansion in the Russian Hill neighborhood that includes a wellness center, infinity pool and a subterranean garage with a car turntable, as reported by The San Francisco Standard. 

Amanda Tom, 25, and Muhamad Tarik Hussein, 23, were arrested on suspicion of firing a gun in the affluent neighborhood.

Tom and Hussein fired a single shot from a handgun at Altman’s $27 million mansion at around 2.56am, according to an initial police report reviewed by The San Francisco Standard.

The suspects who allegedly opened fire on Altman’s property drove past it in Tom’s Honda sedan a few minutes before doubling back and opening fire, according to the Standard.

The individual in the passenger seat put their hand out the window and fired at the side of the mansion, according to security personnel who heard a gunshot and surveillance footage cited in the police report.

The car immediately fled, but its license plate was captured on a security camera, leading San Francisco police to a residence where they arrested Tom and Hussein on charges of negligent discharge. 

Altman, 40, reflected on Friday’s terrifying incident on his personal blog, accompanied by a photo of his husband and child which he shared in a bid to deter future attacks.

‘Images have power, I hope. Normally we try to be pretty private, but in this case I am sharing a photo in the hopes that it might dissuade the next person from throwing a Molotov cocktail at our house, no matter what they think about me,’ he wrote. 

Altman said that the Molotov cocktail bounced off the house. The bomb set an exterior gate on fire. 

‘Words have power too. There was an incendiary article about me a few days ago,’ Altman continued.

‘Someone said to me yesterday they thought it was coming at a time of great anxiety about AI and that it made things more dangerous for me. I brushed it aside.

‘Now I am awake in the middle of the night and pissed, and thinking that I have underestimated the power of words and narratives.’
