that means nothing. probably cooperated to get himself out of a jam..

but then turned around and continued to be a criminal

Happens all the time

The dude that Goodfellas is based on went into Witness Protection ..later got kicked out of it.

Steve Bannon is a very rich man. He is supposedly worth 50 million dollars. I do not believe he would dip into the petty cash fund. I think this is a set-up.

You are right. It’s not that complicated. Just follow the money trail through the shell companies and read the texts. It’s greed.


I never realized the coupist Democrats at SDNY had such a fan club on FR. Especially given they are coming down like a ton of bricks on a MAGA supporting triple amputee combat vet.

I’ve no doubt as this plays out it will get “complicated.” Right now all we are getting is spin from Democrat HQ. Why are we taking this at face value? Since when do coupist Democrats do anything but lie?

Agree. This talk of FBI informant is setting off all kinds of alarm bells for me. Joe the Triple Amputee Combat Vet may very well have been egged on here by coupist FBI handlers. It’s certainly not time for MAGA voters to lynch him.

Bannon has a history with this Badolato character who is either a mobster or loosely connected enough to rat someone out in the Gambino family.

Something fishy about all of it.

Add in Guo on the run from the CCP with Bannon on his multi million dollar yacht.

Bannon looks like an alcoholic. Maybe his judgement is impaired.

Whatever the case, disabled Vet wasn’t living this high life prior to the multi million dollar gofundme.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I may have visited one of his places.

I don't live there, but had family that did....until they moved out.

We spent a LOT of our time there.

Really sad to see what's going on, in our old 'stomping grounds', now. Lots of happy, and fun, memories.

Egged on or not..he took the bait..and the loot....and cooperated in the conspiracy to hide the looting with knowledge that he was doing something that needed to be hidden from donors.

He should cooperate...first one in gets the best deal. And he isn’t the organizer of this scheme.

= = =

Several posters have wondered about that. I have no idea.

Do you have a link/source to show that, so we can repost?

He claims he bought the boat before the Gofundme.

Its an expensive boat.

Disability isnt going to buy that boat or working as a waitress.

Maybe he had some kind of big income. I dont know.

Hold your horses. We only have the SDNY/FBI spin and don’t what really happened. It’s very possible the coupist FBI egged this on via their “informant.” They long history of doing exactly that. Regardless, this just isn’t a big issue. Don’t give Democrats a gift and make it one.

I cant find his source of income. His wife is a brand influencer

You can make good money doing that...but not sure she had that kind of influence to make that kind of big money.

This news is barely 12 hours old, way too soon to jump ship.

Agree. I’m particularly interested in the origins of the investigation and why SDNY was allowed to keep it. It seems FL would be the more appropriate venue for prosecution. Will the FBI be reading the texts of whoever filed a report about this? There is certainly a need for an DOJ IG investigation into political bias of the SDNY office. That won’t be happening of course.

He registered to vote in Walton County in 2019. Two days ago the house across street from them sold for 2,050,000. The land on Brian’s house sold for 290k in 2015. Not sure what is current value of his home.

Doesnt matter if he was egged on or not.

You take the bait..you live with the consequences.

He CLEARLY knew what he was doing was wrong given that he knew he had to hide it from donors.

But I think he is the small fish in the story. The dupe. He likely was getting the least amount of money. He wasn’t running the operation.
