Who is Paul N Miller aka 'Gypsy Crusader'? White supremacist livestreamer with Proud Boys ties held in FBI raid

The 32-year-old livestreamer, whose videos showed him using racial slurs and sometimes with a gun, was charged with illegal possession of a firearm

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA: The FBI arrested a Fort Lauderdale man on Tuesday, March 2, and took him into custody without incident. The 32-year-old man, identified as Paul N Miller aka 'The Gypsy Crusader', was charged with illegal possession of a firearm. That he was known for his possible ties with the Proud Boys was an eyebrow-raiser when the Feds locked him up. The Daily Dot labeled Miller as a "notorious white supremacist livestreamer".

Miller's neighbor reportedly said he saw law enforcement officers leaving Miller's house with what appeared to be a firearm. "We saw him come outside. They took him out of the house and were walking him around and they ended up taking him back and took him away and everyone was all in uniform," said neighbor Chase Robison. "We started seeing them come outside with boxes. One box definitely looked like either a shotgun on the front or an AK."

Who is Paul N Miller?

Known online as the 'Gypsy Crusader', Miller reportedly has over 40,000 Telegram followers, as per The Daily Beast. His videos show him using racial slurs and sometimes with a firearm on Omegle. The site added that his arrest comes after he was indicted by a grand jury on the firearms charge on February 25. It reportedly is from a 2018 incident in which Miller is said to have possessed a firearm. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison on the firearm charge.

The landlord of the house Miller stayed at said he had rented it to a man from New Jersey who had moved in on February 1, according to a report. It was also reported that Miller would dress up as the Joker and other comic book characters when he streamed the videos.

NBC6 journalist Amanda Plasencia tweeted: "Police and #FBI agents are on the scene near SW 6th Street and 14th Avenue in #FortLauderdale. Neighbors describe being woken up to a raid at 6 am and they saw a man taken into custody. More details on @nbc6." The news also caused quite the stir on social media with netizens sharing their thoughts on the FBI's move.

"gypsycrusader clips are funny but his actual streams are total cringe, dude takes himself way too seriously," read one of the comments. "I agree that felons in possession of firearms should be arrested, but what was the search warrant for in the first place? Was it for a gun or because of his comments online?" asked one of the people. "He will get his ass beat in prison every day for the next 5 years," a comment read.
