Paul Nicholas Miller (born August 11, 1988), widely recognized by the pseudonym GypsyCrusader, is an American internet figure known for white supremacist views, with heritage tracing back to Mexican and Romani roots. Advocacy organizations and the U.S. Department of Justice have identified him as promoting antisemitic and racist ideologies. Miller’s background includes experience as a journalist and as both a competitor and instructor in Muay Thai.

In June 2021, Miller admitted guilt to charges concerning illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, leading to a prison term of 41 months. He became known for streaming live videos while dressed as characters like the Joker, the Riddler, and Mario during sessions on Omegle. Miller is an outspoken proponent of white supremacy and neo-Nazi beliefs, openly calling for a race war. His connections extend to far-right and alt-right factions such as the Proud Boys and the Boogaloo movement.

Early life

Born in New York on August 11, 1988, Paul Nicholas Miller’s lineage includes a Roma father and a Mexican mother.

Fighting career

Miller embarked on Muay Thai training in 2008 at age 20 and quickly progressed to his first amateur bout after just three months. His training took place at 9 Weapons Muay Thai before moving on to The Institute. He achieved titles including Regional Light-Heavyweight Champion and US National Champion under the World Kickboxing Association. Subsequently, he shifted focus toward coaching roles at The Institute.

Journalism

Prior to his involvement with extremist far-right circles, Miller identified as a "conservative, confrontational journalist," producing provocative content on YouTube. On October 12, 2018, he attempted to attend a sold-out Metropolitan Republican Club event in Manhattan featuring Gavin McInnes, founder of the Proud Boys. When denied entry, Miller broadcasted live footage of protests outside that included approximately 20 antifascist activists.

Miller alleged that Antifa members assaulted him following the event. In an interview with One America News Network, he recounted how two individuals—later confirmed as Proud Boys affiliates—aided him in defending against the attackers.

He has reported ongoing threats, doxing incidents, and online harassment from people he associates with Antifa and Black Lives Matter supporters. According to Miller, this harassment pressured gym management to revoke his membership and contributed to losing his personal training position as well as a part-time job at a gas station.

Far-right involvement

In a 2018 post on BitChute, Miller articulated deeply extremist views targeting Jewish people, Black individuals, and communists, lamenting, "Who was gonna stand up for me? There was no one." While his initial animosity was directed at Antifa and Black Lives Matter activists who he claimed attacked him, his hostility soon broadened to encompass all Black people, Jews, and members of the LGBTQ community.

Miller regularly criticizes racial minorities, women, immigrants, and those he describes as obese. He promotes the idea of a "race war" and endorses the white supremacist concept known as the "Day of the Rope," derived from William Luther Pierce's 1978 novel The Turner Diaries. This scenario imagines widespread lynchings targeting alleged "race traitors," including journalists, politicians, and interracial couples. Miller, along with other neo-Nazi adherents, anticipates this event will eventually take place.

Targeting minorities

Miller openly voices animosity toward Jews, Black communities, and LGBTQ individuals, frequently engaging in Holocaust denial and advocating violence against these groups. He claims to be assembling an online "army" to execute his violent plans. Visual evidence includes videos of him posing with Nazi flags and donning plate carriers emblazoned with swastikas.

As a proponent of white nationalism, Miller calls for the repatriation of Black people to Africa and champions the phrase "only white lives matter." He has confronted Black Lives Matter protesters on multiple occasions during demonstrations.

George Floyd demonstrations

In 2020, Miller asserted that no one possesses the right to protest the murder of George Floyd. He has been connected to the Boogaloo movement and reportedly wore a Boogaloo-themed mask at a protest on May 31. At a Trump rally, Miller directed racist insults toward Black Lives Matter supporters, including telling a Black woman that "only white lives matter" while performing a Nazi salute. Subsequently, he drove past a Black Lives Matter gathering in East Brunswick, hurling racial epithets at participants.

In 2021, Miller and an unidentified companion recorded themselves threatening a Black man with racial slurs and physical harm, warning him that he was in the "wrong neighborhood."

Digital presence

Miller is recognized for his confrontational online persona, often adopting various disguises to engage strangers on chat services like the now-defunct Omegle, using these interactions to spread his political ideology and elicit responses. His streams have appeared on platforms such as DLive, Twitch, and bitwave.tv; these videos have been reposted on BitChute, Internet Archive, as well as his Telegram channel where he boasts over 40,000 followers.

Having been banned from major social networks including Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Twitch, DLive, and Facebook, Miller is noted for racist language and inappropriate conduct online. He maintains connections with white supremacist figures and internet personalities like Tor Brookes (also known as CatboyKami) and Brandon Martinez, although his relationship with Brookes later deteriorated.

Assault and drug possession charges

In 2006, when Miller was 18 years old, he faced charges of aggravated assault, to which he pleaded guilty, thereby avoiding incarceration. The following year, in 2007, he was apprehended for possession of drugs with the intent to distribute, resulting in a 180-day jail sentence and four years of probation.

Altercation with Antifa and Subsequent Consequences

On October 12, 2018, Miller became involved in a confrontation with Antifa demonstrators outside New York City's Metropolitan Republican Club. He claimed his presence was to cover a speech given by Gavin McInnes, the founder of the Proud Boys. During the encounter, Miller’s backpack was taken; authorities were unable to locate it afterward. He later characterized the assailants as "terrorists" and asserted that they attempted to kill him. Three individuals were detained in relation to the incident.

This event marked what Miller described as a personal "awakening," accompanied by a rise in his online visibility. He reported being subjected to frequent doxing and receiving death threats from Antifa supporters, including threats directed at his family residence. The widespread attention to his account led to job termination and prompted him to relocate to Florida.

FBI Visit in 2020

On May 21, 2020, FBI agents visited the home of Miller’s parents seeking him due to his online statements opposing protests and his plans for an open-carry demonstration. After evaluating the situation and determining he did not pose a threat, authorities took no further action.

Harassment by Atomwaffen Division

In 2021, Miller became a target of harassment by an individual affiliated with the neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen Division, who accused him of harming their reputation. The harassment included filming threatening videos outside Miller’s Florida residence, sending food deliveries there uninvited, conducting denial-of-service attacks to disrupt his live streams, and dispatching taxis to his address. On January 30, police responded to multiple reports concerning a possible break-in at Miller’s home but found no intruder. To reduce tensions and protect neighbors, Miller temporarily vacated his residence.

FBI Raid and Firearm Possession Charge in 2021

Miller was arrested on March 2, 2021, for firearm possession as a convicted felon during an early morning FBI raid in Fort Lauderdale that involved the use of flashbang devices. This charge stemmed from an event dated January 17, 2018. Indicted on February 25, Miller appeared for his initial hearing on March 3, where he apologized and indicated plans to retain private legal representation—initially contacting attorney Mark O'Mara before switching to Norman Kent. Bail was denied on March 10, resulting in Miller remaining in custody pending trial.

On June 22, 2021, Miller entered a guilty plea for possession of a firearm, ammunition, and an unregistered weapon. Sentencing occurred on September 28, with a prison term of 41 months followed by three years of supervised release.

Miller was freed on January 31, 2023, due to good behavior and parole conditions. However, in April 2023 USA Today disclosed that while in federal detention, Miller had accessed the internet to harass others and market racist merchandise. The Federal Bureau of Prisons considered this activity a violation of incarceration rules and subsequently returned him to custody shortly thereafter. He was released once more on July 2, 2023.
