What started as ugly YouTube drama may now be a federal criminal case.
A blogger gets death threats. He posts proof. The person who made the threats tries to erase the evidence by calling it “copyrighted.” Then she calls his webhost to shut him down.
The Threats
A former Scientologist named Marisa Dawn Sigmond posted violent threats against blogger Allen “Alanzo” Stanfield (alanzosblog.com), who is both a critic of Scientology and a critic of its critics.
In her own words, she said she would “rip his throat out” and bragged that her martial arts training made her capable of doing it:
“I could take Alanzo’s bacon grease fucking thyroid gland and rip it out of his fucking throat. Which I will do.
Alanzo copied those threats onto his blog to protect himself and show the world what she said.
The Cover-Up
Then Sigmond tried to erase the evidence. She filed complaints with Google claiming her violent threats were “copyrighted” and that Alanzo was stealing them. She told his webhost the site contained “defamation” and “trademark violations.” The host briefly shut him down.
Alanzo said:
“After hiding almost all of her videos and community posts from her YouTube channel, she contacted my webhost… claimed defamation and intellectual property infringement for my documentation of her violent threats to me. My webhost temporarily suspended this website based on her false claims.”
She also managed to get YouTube to remove Alanzo’s video identifying her, presumably on the same bogus claims.
The Law
Here’s the problem for Sigmond:
- Death threats aren’t free speech. If a reasonable person feels threatened, it’s a crime — even if the speaker later says, “I was joking.”
- The internet makes it federal. Since Alanzo and Sigmond live in different states, the FBI can step in. Sending threats across state lines can mean up to five years in prison.
- You can’t copyright a crime. Trying to claim ownership of your own violent words is like calling 911 to report a burglary you committed. Filing false DMCA claims is abuse of the law — and it can backfire.
- Covering your tracks makes it worse. If investigators believe Sigmond deleted posts or filed false claims to hide evidence, that’s obstruction of justice. Courts often take that more seriously than the threats themselves.
Bottom line: what started as internet drama could now be five separate crimes — threats, perjury, DMCA abuse, wire fraud, and obstruction.
The FBI’s Likely Move
The FBI has Cyber Task Forces whose full-time job is investigating online threats. They can move fast to preserve evidence from YouTube and Google, even if posts are deleted.
An agent would likely:
- Interview Alanzo in detail.
- Check Sigmond’s background — criminal history, history of violence, weapons.
- Try to interview Sigmond (and if she lies, that’s another felony).
- Interview other critics she has threatened to show a pattern.
If an indictment is secured, the FBI or U.S. Marshals would execute the arrest. The interstate element and the sovereign citizen rhetoric make it more appealing for federal prosecutors than a simple assault case.
The Bigger Picture
Alanzo is not just any private citizen. He is a critic of Scientology, a controversial organization, and if the FBI sees Sigmond’s actions as an attempt to silence him through fear, it raises First Amendment concerns. Free speech is also in play here — not hers, but his.
Sigmond’s internet meltdown has now triggered questions of federal law, civil rights, and free speech retaliation.
Every False Claim Is Another Felony
What began as a grotesque outburst may now span five federal statutes. By trying to weaponize copyright and takedown systems to hide her own threats, Sigmond has only made things worse.
And let this be clear: if Sigmond attempts the same stunt with this website — filing false DMCA claims or bogus “defamation” complaints to take down accurate reporting — the consequences will be far worse for her. Why? Because every fraudulent notice is a new act of perjury under federal law. Every abuse of automated systems is new evidence of obstruction, wire fraud, and witness tampering.
In other words, the harder she pushes, the deeper she digs her own hole. What she calls “fighting” isn’t just bullying anymore — it’s building a federal case file against herself.
Her internet threats may soon bring real-world consequences — swift and severe.
Frank Report will keep you posted.
Final Note
Unlike previous FBI directors, Kahyap Patel is a man of the highest integrity. He directs the FBI based on ethics and investigating individuals based on true crimes. It is a new era and Sigmond ought not to think she can escape from prosecution by trying to silence her foes. This is the Patel Era of good law enforcement.

Please leave a comment: Your opinion is important to us!
I too have been targeted and victimised by Marisa Sigmond after responding in a respectful manner to her unwarranted, unlawful & aggressive online bullying of Alanzo. In an attempt to appeal to her humanitarian side, I posted to her social media platform offering understanding, compassion and support for what I assumed to be her traumatic experience in Scientology. However, she responded with anger, untruthful accusations, violent threats, verbal abuse & obscene language (I have preserved the evidence). I am a 70 year old professional Irish woman living the UK and in my opinion, this lady is unhinged and needs monitoring before her abuse escalates to a more dangerous outcome.
Kash Patel is unqualified, dumb, corrupt and happily covering up for a President with multiple felonies as well as a suspected paedophile and you think he’s going to bother with silly youtube threats from a woman to an older man living on the other side of the country? This is beyond ridiculous!
What she did to Alan was criminal, she needs to be held accountable. Sorry ex Scientologist don’t understand, but crimes are crimes. She definitely messed up.
Could be? May now be ? Is their an actual criminal federal claim under investigation?
I found the video Alanzo used to document Marisa Sigmond’s violent threats to him to warn the community about her before reporting the incidents to the FBI and local law enforcement.

Ex-Scientologist Chris Elston Says Marisa Sigmond Made a Threat on His Life. An FBI Report Was Involved. Is it true?
The X post where Chris Elston shows Marisa Sigmond’s violent threats to him. He says the FBI called her in for an interview. I found a whole thread from Elston on this.

That whole website is a very good find, Nice Guy.
It appears to be a Church of Scientology Office of Special Affairs smear site on David Love, who was a prominent critic of Scientology’s scam drug rehab program called Narconon in 2012/2013.
On the way back machine, you can see the blog as it developed. In 2012, an article by “a single mother” with the initials “MS” posted a story on the blog consistent with the Jerome Police department report you found involving Marisa Sigmond.
What is Marisa Sigmond doing on a Scientology Office of Special Affairs website designed to destroy a critic of Scientology?
Did Marisa Sigmond work with Scientology to fair game David Love?
“Good Heavens to Murgatroyd!”
I cannot imagine what my dear friend could do to make woman challenge him to mortal combat.
Personally I hope Alonzo is okay.
Such good ‘sod’ he is.
Alan is a stalker. You’ve taken the wrong side here. Alan also gets paid by Scientology to troll Marisa and other second generation victims of the cult of Scientology.
You’re either a moron or a misogynist. Maybe both.
The Scientology trolls are back. Fun. We’ve missed you lying fucks
Are you into that profile! hand job or oral>lol
Hey could you please rub this bald guy looking to rub one out.
You are a COS troll. Alan has put up with bull for a very long time.
She’s a real beauty. Good artist rendering.
The new lead female singer to Linkin Park is also a scientologist!!
This piece presents itself as reporting but in reality it’s one-sided and based almost entirely on Alanzo’s exaggerations. Alanzo is well known in the ex-Scientology world for going after fellow survivors instead of the organization itself, often distorting their words and motives to fit his personal vendettas. His reputation is that of a provocateur who thrives on conflict, not someone whose claims should be treated as fact. That history matters here, because it directly affects his credibility.
Marisa is a second-generation survivor of Scientology. She grew up, and has lived through, abuses of this organization and has chosen to speak out publicly about them. The so called “threat” Alanzo is publicizing was not an actual threat but a piece of hyperbolic, joking language, something no reasonable observer would interpret as intent to harm. Yet Alanzo stripped away that context and repackaged it to make her appear violent. Did he also tell you one of his videos was taken down because he allegedly used AI to impersonate Marisa’s voice and likeness? That’s not only deceptive, it raises serious legal and ethical questions about his conduct.
Marisa’s use of DMCA complaints was not a “cover-up.” It was a lawful response to prevent her identity and words from being twisted and weaponized against her. This article never sought her side of the story, never questioned Alanzo’s motives, and never investigated the methods he used to manufacture his narrative. That is not balanced reporting. It is amplifying the vendetta of a discredited blogger against a Scientology survivor and passing it off as fact.
Well said Steven. Marisa does not deserve to be persecuted like this. It’s just all so petty and stupid.
This article clarifies so much.
A small but growing group of us have been following this story. The Boldness of her ongoing threats are astonishing. Appreciate your coverage of this topic. We support Allen.
Alanzo is back on the Frank Report!!!
It has been way too long!
I’ve missed the antics of the Ring Ding King! Always good for a laugh.
Keep it coming, Frank.
P.S. What’s the update on Sandusky’s appeal?
Rings & Dings rule!!!
Sometimes Alonzo branches out to
Little Debi.
Little Debi makes Alonzo feel naughty.
What began as a grotesque outburst began long before that.
Anyone ever read a book called, Strange Angel?
Alison Mack is God.
Satanic god.
I wouldn’t have misspelled her first name.
I also don’t believe in a higher power.
