In at least one occasion, he threatened an investor who wanted his money back. And evidence shown he was very hands on in running the business, not just a figurehead.


LOL. This guy is the embodiment of a GOP criminal.

But Breaking Bad said it best: when you are a criminal, you don't want just a criminal lawyer, you want a criminal who is a lawyer. Hats off to Trump for finding this guy.

.


Certainly explains why Trump's been touting him as a GREAT guy! Whom he may or may not know, depending apparently on what kinda mood he's in.

In this case, he didn't disclose to the company that it's actions are pretty illegal.

And wiki:

And, as it turns out (according to today's Washington Post), he was aware of more complaints against the company than the one complaint he responded to with a threatening email. This guy Wiseacre (or whatever his name is) was up to his eyeballs in the scams this outfit was running. Total sleazebag.

Just amazing how everyone surrounding Trump is involved in scams and frauds. Not one. Not two. Everyone. It's a qualification for the job..the Art of the Con.

Sessions was bad enough - a Confederate who still loves Jefferson Davis. But this is really over-the-top.





We are living in a very strange America.

They all debunk themselves.

From the article.

There was no evidence that Whitaker knew company salespeople were making false promises to inventors, court receiver Jonathan Perlman said in an interview.

“I have no reason to believe that he knew of any of the wrongdoing,” Perlman said.

they were probably too busy hyperventilating, gnashing their teeth, and tearing their hair out to make it that far into the article.

Can you help me figure out how to relate to my dad, who is a lifelong Democrat who loves Jefferson Davis and the old south? I need some sort of identifier like 'racist white non-racist' or 'guilty male complex' etc. to help dehumanize him and everyone I feel is like him so that I can distance myself emotionally from people I disagree with as a means of perpetuating my self-protective political bubble, lest it burst and my world come crashing down

Thanks

I can help.

First close your eyes.

Next try to imagine floating along in darkness when all of a sudden, poof you are imagined into existence by someone attempting and failing to make a lucid point on an internet discussion forum. In a panic your mind races trying to decide If you will continue to exist after the thoughts that brought you to life leave your creators brain. This is answered all too soon however as your conciousness evaporates when something shiny distracts the person who imagined you. Back to nothingness you fade.


You can use this as a starting point.

At first he lied about it. Then the truth came out.
