[Hector Bermudez](/people/hector-bermudez/), aliases "Fiasco," "Rogue," and "Diablo," is a resident of Queens, New York and a named leader of [Greggy's Cult](/organizations/greggys-cult/) (also called the Cult of Greg), the online child exploitation network that operated on Discord from approximately January 2020 through January 2021. He was born approximately 1996 and was 29 at the time of his December 2025 indictment.

### Greggy's Cult and the 764 Lineage

Greggy's Cult operated using methods that would define the [764](/organizations/764-network/) network: recruiting minor victims through gaming platforms and social media, coercing them into producing CSAM, and blackmailing victims with the material to compel ongoing compliance including self-harm. NCITE tracked Greggy's Cult alongside [CVLT](/organizations/cvlt/) and 764 as three connected networks accounting for 31 individuals publicly charged with federal crimes through December 2025. Prominent members of 764 and related successor networks were also members of Greggy's Cult, per the DOJ's December 2025 press release.[^1]

The case number is 1:25-cr-00361 (PKC).[^2]
