The FBI has arrested the head of an asset management firm for allegedly threatening 47 government officials with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission.

Officials said Vincent McCrudden posted a $100,000 reward on a website for information that proved these officials had been "punished." Federal prosecutors also said he sent numerous emails threatening individual workers.

McCrudden is expected to be arraigned in federal court in Central Islip, New York Friday afternoon, a spokesman for U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch said.

McCrudden, a Dix Hills, Long Island resident, was running PLNBM Asset Management and another firm, officials said. He was arrested at Newark airport last night after traveling back from Singapore, FBI officials said.

If people are making threats to elected officials and civil servants, they need to be questioned and face consequences. Stopping violence and killings should be a bipartisan issue.
