A Hawaii jury on Friday found FanX Salt Lake co-founder Bryan Brandenburg guilty of making threats to bomb the Salt Lake Temple, the Utah State Capitol and other buildings.
SALT LAKE CITY — The co-founder of FanX Salt Lake was found guilty by a federal jury in Hawaii of threatening to bomb Utah buildings, including the Salt Lake Temple, the Matheson Courthouse, the mayor's office, the University of Utah and the state Capitol building.
The jury began deliberating the case around 11:15 p.m. Friday, and it reached a guilty verdict less than two hours later. Brandenburg had been involved in a trademark lawsuit between San Diego Comic-Con International and FanX, which was previously called Salt Lake Comic Con. The company ended up paying almost $4 million in legal fees after a San Diego jury found it had violated trademark rules with the previous name.
Members of the media reported the emails and the center was evacuated before police found the threat to be a hoax.
