Paul Nicholas Miller (born August 11, 1988), better known by his online alias GypsyCrusader,[a] is an American white supremacist and neo-Nazi political commentator, streamer, and former Muay Thai fighter, trainer, and coach.[6] A convicted felon, he is known for his livestreams on various media services that feature him cosplaying as an array of different characters including the Joker, the Riddler, Mario,[b] and others while he tells his political beliefs to strangers.[7][8][9] He is known for his advocacy of white supremacy[10] and neo-Nazism[11] and he has been tied to multiple alt-right[12] and far-right organizations.

Early life

Paul Nicholas Miller was born in New York on August 11, 1988 to Bob Miller and Diana Miller.[13] His mother owns multiple shops in the New Brunswick area.[13]

Fighting career

Miller began training in Muay Thai in 2008, at the age of 20.[14] He had his first amateur fight in 2008 after only 3 months of training.[14] He trained with the 9 Weapons Muay Thai and later The Institute.[15][16] He became the Regional Light-Heavyweight Champion and the US National Champion in the World Kickboxing Association.[17][18][19] His career was cut short after he was involved in a car accident which left him unable to participate in professional fights. He then became a trainer and coach, including for The Institute.[20]

Views and online activity

A self-described "radical conservative", Miller is known for his openly alt-right political views.[21] He often expresses his hatred towards racial minorities and heavily opposes immigration. He also calls for a "race war" and is a conspiracy theorist who supports the "Day of the Rope", a white supremacist slogan that references William Luther Pierce's book The Turner Diaries. In the novel, white supremacists take control of California and engage in mass lynchings of anyone perceived as a "race traitor", these include journalists, politicians, and white people who are in relationships with non-white people. The day on which these murders are committed in the novel, is referred to as the "Day of the Rope". Many white supremacists and neo-Nazis, including Miller, believe that the "Day of the Rope" will one day become reality.[22]

Minorities

Miller often shows extreme hatred towards Jews. He has expressed a desire to "Gas them" and claims he is "building an army" online with the intent of carrying out his violent ideas. In several videos that he published online, he can be seen posing next to Nazi flags and wearing armor brandishing Swastikas.[23]

An open white supremacist, Miller is also known for his hatred of black people. Due to his belief that they should be "sent back to Africa", he has been described as being a white nationalist.[24] Miller also participated in a nationwide white supremacist banner drop, hanging a sign that read "no white guilt" from an overpass in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He has also used the phrase "only white lives matter" and has antagonized multiple Black Lives Matter protesters at several different protests.[25]

George Floyd protests

In 2020, Miller stated that nobody has a right to protest the Killing of George Floyd.[13] A woman believed to be Miller's mother, Diana Miller, also stood on the porch of her store, Tarot Readings by Diana, and shouted "No Black Lives Matter, All Lives Matter."[13] He was also connected to the Boogaloo movement[26] and allegedly wore a Boogaloo mask during a protest on May 31, 2020.[27][28]

Miller attended a Trump rally and told a black woman with a sign that said "Black Lives Matter" that "only white lives matter" and "Heil Hitler" before calling another black woman a "chimp". Later that same day, Miller drove by a Black Lives Matter rally in East Brunswick, New Jersey and yelled "Nigger lives don't matter" several times at protesters.[7] Miller has stated he is no longer a Trump supporter.

In 2021, Miller and an unidentified man recorded themselves threatening a black man. Miller told the man to "Get the fuck out of here" and said that he and his friend will "kick [his] ass". He also referred to the man as a "Nigger" multiple times and told the man he was in the "wrong neighborhood".[29]

Online activity

Miller is well-known for his online presence. He often dresses up as various different characters and talks to strangers on online chat website Omegle where he discusses his political views with the intent of disturbing or angering whomever he is talking to for shock value.[30] He has streamed content using the platforms DLive, Twitch, bitwave.tv,[31] and reuploaded to BitChute.[32][30] He is also active on Telegram where he has over 40,000 followers.[33]

He has been banned on most social media platforms including Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Twitch, DLive,[34] Facebook, and more.

He has been characterized for his racist remarks and inappropriate behavior online.[35] He is also known for his affiliations with fellow white supremacists and internet personalities Philip "CatboyKami" Hedley and Brandon Martinez, although he later had a falling out with Hedley.[30][36]

Assault and drug possession charges

In 2006, at the age of 18, Miller was charged with aggravated assault. He pled not guilty and was not sentenced to prison time.[38]

In 2007, Miller was arrested and charged with possession of drugs and intent to sell. He served 180 days in prison and 4 years of probation.[38]

Gun possession charge

On January 17, 2018, Miller was charged with illegally possessing a gun. He was indicted of the charge on February 25, 2021 and the charge later led to him being raided in 2021.[39]

Antifa incident and fallout

On October 12, 2018, Miller was attacked by a Antifa.[40] Miller alleges he was trying to attend a speech given by Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes in order to report on it.[41] The incident took place outside of the Metropolitan Republican Club in New York.[42] Police state that Miller's backpack was stolen during the altercation.[3] Miller later stated "they tried to kill me" in reference to the attack and called the attackers "terrorists".[6][43]

Following the attack on Miller, he claimed he had an "awakening" and became "woke".[44] He was allegedly frequently doxxed and bombarded with death threats from people he claims are affiliated with Antifa following their attack on him.[44] He has claimed that they also threatened his family and showed up to his parents' home with the intent of burning it down and killing his mother.[45] His story quickly gained traction on the internet and Miller claims he lost his job and had to move as a result. He now resides in Florida.[44]

2020 FBI visit

On May 21, 2020, FBI agents showed up at Miller's parents' home and tried to reach him.[46] It was revealed that they were sent after him regarding anti-protest statements he had made online and his proposal of an open-carry rally. Once they deemed he was not a threat, no further action was taken.[46]

Atomwaffen Division harassment

In 2021, Miller was targeted by a member of the neo-Nazi organization Atomwaffen Division. It is alleged that Miller was targeted for giving neo-Nazis and white supremacists a "bad rep". The attacker recorded videos threatening Miller that were allegedly taken outside of Miller's home in Florida. He also ordered takeout consistently and had it delivered to Miller's home and DDoSed Miller so that he couldn't stream. Multiple cabs were also sent to Miller's address to pick him up.[47]

On January 30, police received numerous calls relating to a suspect allegedly breaking into Miller's home although they were unable to locate the suspect upon arriving at the scene. They were continuously called regarding the alleged robbery upon leaving the scene. Miller later chose to leave his complex for a "little while" in hopes of allowing the situation to die down and to protect his neighbors.[47]

2021 FBI raid and firearm charge

On March 2, 2021 Miller was arrested on three different charges.[48] According to reports, flashbangs went off during a raid of Miller's home in Fort Lauderdale, which took place at around 5 in the morning.[49][50] The arrest stems from an incident that took place on January 17, 2018 in which Miller illegally possessed a gun. On February 25, 2021, he was indicted on the January 2018 charge.[51] If convicted, he could face up to 30 years in prison.[52][39] His first hearing took place on March 3rd. He offered up an apology during the hearing saying "I'm really sorry for all of this. I really am." He also told the judge that he has enough money to hire his own attorney and has reportedly reached out to Mark O'Mara, the attorney who worked for George Zimmerman.[53][54] He later hired free speech activist and attorney Norman Kent.[21] On March 10, during his bond trial, he was denied bail and is to remain incarcerated while on trial.[55][56][57]
