A homeless Florida man was arrested Wednesday and charged with plotting to bomb the New York Stock Exchange to force a "reboot" or "reset" of the U.S. government, according to a criminal complaint.
Yener told agents at the time that he was creating “rockets” with very “volatile” chemical mixtures that would explode if they were mixed incorrectly, the complaint says.
Undercover FBI agents later made contact with Yener and convinced him they wanted to help him carry out an attack, it says.
“There is one place that would be hella easy...the stock exchange, that would be a great hit," Yener said, according to the complaint.
So that’s perfect.”Days later, he told a group of undercover FBI agents that he wanted to bomb the stock exchange the week before Thanksgiving.
