.@Wikipedia has become a defamation machine against conservatives. They have published completely false and libelous information about me and other conservatives
They have 24 hours to remedy the problem, or I will be filing a massive lawsuit in Federal Court

Wikipedia has assigned me the title "American Fraudster", despite the facts that I've:
1. Never been arrested or charged for anything
2. Never been sued in any venue, ever
3. Completely cleared after 13 month long SEC investigation
4. Never been "banned" from trading anything

Wohl, good luck proving anything as YOUR veracity is extremely suspect...

I'd say it must be white MAGA privilege, but as late as the 1950's he wouldn't have been considered white.

Jacob Wohl, a former hedge fund manager turned pro-Trump conspiracy peddler, was a small-time but persistent figure on the far-right for the past two years. Then came the revelation of his apparent involvement as a central character in a bizarre plot to smear special counsel Robert Mueller. Now the FBI has been asked to investigate the alleged scheme, and Wohl may achieve the notoriety hes been chasing for years.
The details of that plot to discredit Mueller were revealed on Tuesday, when journalists reported receiving suspicious emails from a woman claiming she had been offered money to fabricate accusations of sexual misconduct against the special prosecutor investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election. NBC News traced a document outlining the Mueller allegations to a company whose website and telephone were registered to Wohl and his family ...

(21,529 posts)Yeah... can we talk about #1? Why has he NOT been arrested.
He accused Mueller of rape and even produced a made up false victim. Is it not illegal to falsely accuse someone of a crime and pay people to give false testimony to that end???

... About 1:45 pm on Feb. 6, Colin Campbell, editor of the NC Insider, part of The News & Observer, tweeted photos from the 1979 UNC-Chapel Hill yearbook. (PolitiFact NC, which wrote this fact check, is a partnership of PolitiFact and The News & Observer.)
One of the photos shows two white students dressed in white hooded robes like those worn by the Ku Klux Klan. The students are holding onto a noose that was around the neck of another white student, who was covered in blackface makeup.
The photo appeared on a yearbook page for the Chi Phi fraternity. Cooper was in a different fraternity albeit one with a similar-sounding name called Chi Psi ...

... A 2017 Arizona Corporation Commission cease-and-desist order leveled the allegations against Wohl, finding he violated securities law by misleading investors about how much of their money would be at risk, and misrepresenting his company's size. The commission ordered him to pay $32,919 in restitution and penalties totaling $5,000.
Wohl's attorney told the commission in 2017 that Wohl was unable to make the first payment and asked for a four-week continuance.
"I'm wondering why we're going through this exercise, and why you think your client is going to make payment on a later date if he's not able to make payment today," Commissioner Boyd Dunn said ...
Wohl has not paid any of the money he owes the commission, according to a commission spokeswoman. The commission has referred the matter to the Attorney Generals Office collections unit ...

(57,319 posts)"if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging". Digging a hole makes it deeper and therefore harder to get back out, which is used as a metaphor that when in an untenable position, it is best to stop carrying on and exacerbating the situation.

You'd think that someone, somewhere, would take him aside and point out to him that he is reinforcing people's notion of him as a colossal idiot. His parents, maybe?
From that article:
In June, Wohl tweeted calling the Arizona Corporation Commission a "racketeering organization full of Angry Democrats," citing an article detailing allegations that Corporation Commission head Gary Pierce, who is a Republican, was accepting money in exchange for favorable votes affecting a utilities company. When Pierce was tried on those allegations, jurors deadlocked and the judge declared a mistrial.
Sure enough:
The Arizona Corporation Commission turned out to be a racketeering organization full of Angry Democrats!
