Texas man accused of threatening to slaughter Capital One execs who robbed him of ‘life he deserves’

“Please call me before I do things that are unforgivable and will make your executive team question their life choices,” 34-year-old Taylor Bullard warned, according to the FBI. A customer at an impasse with Capital One over a disputed debt is facing a half-decade in federal prison after allegedly vowing to assassinate those executives he held responsible for having “ruined” his life.
“Call me before I show up to one of their locations with a machete and gasoline,” Bullard wrote, according to a screenshot of the email included in the affidavit. “You have ruined my ability to buy a home. I’m 34 with a 100k+ job and it’s time I target the people and companies that have ruined my ability to live the life I deserve. I will be coming after your executive team personally. Please call me before I do things that are unforgivable and will make your executive team question their life choices. Thank you, Taylor Bullard”.
The affidavit says Bullard sent the note in response to an email from Capital One “urging [him] to create a payment plan to resolve his approximate $543 debt with the company.”. Bullard requested a court appointed attorney, but no one is yet listed on the docket. A phone number Bullard provided the court in his release papers went straight to voicemail on Wednesday. A request for comment sent via email to Capital One was met with an out-of-office auto-response lasting until January 2.
Investigators dug into Bullard’s past and found at least three previous threats to corporations he felt had “wronged” him, the affidavit goes on. In 2017, it says Bullard emailed an unnamed company, for an unspecified offense, to say he planned “to release anthrax at one of their events and/or kill himself in public.”.
