I Got Swatted

The only references to swatting are:

"The so-called raid on my house was a typical case of what people like Mr Maxwell would do. It’s commonly referred to as swatting."

and

"As explained, I had moved out of my house and moved to London in October 2015. I did fly back and forth to Australia, but I was not living in Australia at the time, and I had resigned from all the Australian companies from July 2015. Nobody seems to ask how Gizmodo just happened to be stationed and waiting with a full camera crew. Nobody checks whether the so-called documents were real—I mean the unverified hearsay that is used to sell a click-bait article, where people suddenly believe it must be real. Such is the world of advertising-based media.

And next comes a highly staged raid on a home I used to live in. A bunch of bottom-dwelling “journalists”—if they can be called so—film everything. Then again, several people who now purport to never have heard of me and who are or were formally part of Blockstream, of course, wanted me gone. Mr Maxwell has a long history of setting up swats."

I tried to read it, but it was all inside-Bitcoin to me, and my eyes glazed over.
