A vicious online attack — allegedly put into motion by a California nonprofit — to torpedo the construction of a massive AI data center led to calls for “public executions” and Luigi Mangione-inspired death threats, according to a new lawsuit. The defamation lawsuit, filed by Imperial Valley Computer Manufacturing and its attorney, Sebastian Rucci, claims nonprofit Comite Civico del Valle (CCV) and the group’s executive director, Jose Luis Olmedo Velez, are attempting to stall the data center project in a bid to force a financial settlement. 8 Illustration of Imperial Valley Computer Manufacturing’s proposed AI data center in Imperial, CA.
