A social media influencer sent to prison for trying to hijack a website
A social media influencer in Iowa was sentenced to 14 years in prison this week for threatening to hijack a website at gunpoint. Rossi Adams, also known as “Polo,” is the founder of “State Snaps.” His social media accounts had over a million followers at one point and used the slogan “Do it for state.” He wanted to buy the domain doitforstate.com form a guy in Cedar Rapids and tried to convince the man to sell it to him. The dispute led to a break-in at the victim’s home and a shooting. In addition to the prison time, Rossi also has to pay nearly $40,000 in restitution and attorney fees.
