A 29-year-old Uber driver has been arrested for allegedly causing the Palisades Fire after authorities uncovered evidence on his ChatGPT account that suggested that he planned the blaze and later tried to cover up his involvement.
Jonathan Rinderknecht started the fire that destroyed most of the wealthy Pacific Palisades neighborhood with fireworks on Jan. 1 shortly after ending his shift as an Uber driver, U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said at a Wednesday press conference.
“He left as soon as he saw the fire trucks were headed to the location. He turned around and went back up there. And he took some video and, and watched them fight the fire,” Essayli said.
