I don't really understand what happened but some hacker was trying to blackmail Jeff Garzik threatening to disclose Garzik's location and to call the SWAT team on him.  Huh

 Only for the blackmailer to get attention from the police himself?

To sum it up:

Sorry for my nescience but who is Garzik?

A Bitcoin "core developer" who reached meme-like popularity in the last days due to his drama ramblings concerning NXT

To label a community due to action of one, sounds pretty stupid to me even if he is a bitcoin core developer. There are more criminals using bitcoin.

Absolutely

Plus I still don't see a connection between this "hacker" and NXT.
Can somebody help me there?

I modified the thread title for now.  I couldn't see any reference to NXT on that guys' twitter handle.
