Facebook #FakeNews 'Fact Checker' Accused Of Stealing Cash To Spend On Hookers

The founder of Snopes has been accused of stealing tens of thousands of dollars from his far left "fact checking" organization and blowing it all on hookers.

Daily Caller reports:

The founder of mythbusting website Snopes, which was recently tapped by Facebook as one of four “fact-check” organizations patrolling the site for "fake news," embezzled $98,000 in company funds before spending it on "himself and the prostitutes he hired," according to legal documents filed by his ex-wife reviewed by the Daily Mail.

After divorcing from his first wife, Barbara Mikkelson, David Mikkelson married Elyssa Young, a former porn star and current escort who now works for Snopes as an administrator, according to the Daily Mail.

Let's recap…The founder of Snopes is accused of stealing from the company to pay for prostitutes, one of which he married and is now on staff at the company tapped by Facebook to be an arbiter of #FakeNews.

Who the hell needs FakeNews when the real stuff is this crazy?

The former(?) hooker turned news gatekeeper has a twitter account where she's posted naked photos of herself, although she has't updated her feed in a very long time.

Are those Hostess Snowballs or wrinkly boobs?

Anything that takes Snopes down is fine by me.

Free Republic has known for years that Snopes is unreliable. We’ve long known that it slants sharply left for any question even remotely connected to politics.

We clearly need someone to fact-check the fact-checkers.

What a joke Facebook gas become. The whole operation is like a bad parody: stolen idea, pumped up investors, famous actors/investors engaged, escort news analysts, old technology concepts (flying Wi-Fi, home speakers). The next gen does not use fb — they will be hurting in a few years which is why they are trying to reinvent themselves: home automation, media company, news company, service provider, I think they even have a self driving car.

The redhead in that photo certainly has the credentials to be an administrator.

I wonder if http://www.snopes.com will have an article debunking the story....

I actually do not find her all that attractive. I mean she’s okay, not nothing over the top for sure.

Yes, the whole idea of “fact checkers” was suspect right from the start.

The doozie for Snopes is that they consider the idea that Trump mocked a disabled reporter as fact. Yet this has been been refuted all the way back to July, 2016. Lying liars.

“Did David Mikkelson steal money from Snopes to pay for Hookers?”

Your search did not yield any results. Your search terms may need to be revised, or we have not written an article on that topic.
