Who or whom verb question
What is the verb in "To whomever covered up the legend of Korra live stream I will find you."?
I recently got into an argument with someone over whether whom was appropriate here. There wasn't punctuation used in the sentence (it was a meme) so there should be a comma or semicolon after stream, but I just wanted to leave how I saw it.
Obviously if covered is the verb then whom is incorrect, but for some reason I feel like "to" is the verb, which doesn't make much sense.

It is only a salutation. It is not a complete sentence. It is similar to these: For Whom the Bell Tolls (Title of a novel) To whomever it may concern (An old-fashioned business letter salutation) If I expand it to a full sentence, it would be something like this: This is a notice to whomever covered up the legend of Korra live stream: I will find you.
