'Hogs get slaughtered': Las Vegas CEO receives bloodied pig's head, threatening note in package with sinister message
A Las Vegas-based CEO reportedly received a bloodied pig's head and a threatening letter after an AI-related story about his company was aired on a popular television news segment. The incident is believed to be connected to his interview discussing the use of Artificial Intelligence in the real estate industry, according to multiple reports. Blake Owens, the founder of Agrippa , was branded a 'Clark Kent knockoff' and says he received the disturbing package at his home because his company released an ominous video in June. In the handwritten note, the person criticised Blake Owens ' use of AI and included personal insults, calling him a " Clark Kent knockoff ".

'Perhaps this person watched too much of The Godfather,' Owens said, as reported by 8 News Now. 'Needless to say, I still take it very seriously, but don't feel like I'm being truly threatened. It was a message.' Blake Owens said he did not expect to receive a dead animal in the mail on July 29, but the accompanying letter gave him a clue as to why it happened. The letter addressed to Owens, signed only with the initial 'M', read, 'saw your Marcus video, what a joke.' 'Clearly, you don't understand real estate wasn't built by developers or investors; it was built by brokers. We did it the hard way, no shortcuts, no tech, just people,' the letter said. Live Events 'Came home, was notified of this package, opened it up and sure enough it was a pig's head,' Owens told KLAS. 'Clark Kent knockoff, a simple Google search goes a long way these days, especially in Vegas,' the sinister note read.

'I do see this as an opportunity to show people you don't become a better person by making another man a lesser person.'

'We did it the hard way, no shortcuts, no tech, just people. So enjoy your moment while it lasts. And don't get greedy because pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered,' the note read. Owens likened the eerie gift to 'The Godfather,' saying his sender had watched the 1972 film too often. 'Perhaps this person watched too much of 'The Godfather,' maybe would've expected a horse's head,' Owens said.

'I understand what it's like to take hit after hit, so when you're in an industry that has taken some hits and AI comes along [and] threatens replacement, I understand they are going to react irrationally,' he said. 'To that person, I know they have my information, I'm happy to speak with them — perhaps over email instead of a mailed package, but whatever I can do to help people embrace change I think is what I'd like to do,' Owens said. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police has launched an investigation into the mysterious 'M,' KLAS reported.
