That the FBI just went after him because he was Russian.
I thought so haha.
They probably raided upon that basis as well, not knowing it was fake.
That'd be cray cray.

-Lord.

Yes but the gun that would have had to been used to kill him (based on the bullet found in his head) was not present in FPSRussia's stash.

Stash? STASH!? His weapons could arm a small military.
I guess its just a standard procedure. A man with that many guns and no weapon found during the murder.. I guess they wanted to be sure.

which is probably exactly why they raided him. They didnt have legal precedence to take his weapons. They had a right to search him facility and his home for explosives, but not to seize his firearms.

They raided him because you need a license to earn money with the explosive he used in his videos - Tannerite. I'm going to talk with his manager, Kitty to see what's up.

no thats not it either. In order to take his weapons theyd need justification, and they dont have it. All they have is a body, at MOST, they might be able to get a warrant for any weapons that can fire the caliber round found in the dead guy, whos body they obviously have by now, and have done a ballistics report on. The other weapons are hands off though, since there would be no way for them to fire the rounds.

The ATF stated it was in connection with the murder of his old producer.

Quote:But what was the justification for the raid? ATF spokesman Richard Coes told the Banner-Herald: "The claim is that [Myers] was using explosives and getting paid for it via YouTube."

The raid was for the "misuse" of the explosives. Where does it say that the raid was due to him being connected with the murder?
Nothing will happen to FPS, the guy committed suicide. A cowards way out of something in my opinion.

What the hell are you talking about? Keith's death isn't even directly related to this article.
For one you don't even know anything about him. I talked to him for hours at a time on the phone several times a week, this guy had no reason to kill himself.

However, one of the last things he told me was that he wanted to lay low for a while, and even posted it on his Twitter.

Wow that really sucks. I hope he doesn't get arrested for this stupid thing...
