Too much has been exposed, they will suicide him. His usefulness is at an end.
They might kill his girlfriend too for her participation.

I doubt if this guy fully understood what was being designed. It was a ‘pit’ where you could (as a Instagram influencer or YouTuber making money internationally) hide your funds from taxation. There’s probably a core group of a dozen who had the full view, and I would imagine another couple of groups (Epstein-like characters...maybe even Kremlin folks) who gained access over time.

This is ****ing YUGE. A global money-laundering scam where Biden sent US tax dollars to Ukraine, they were laundered by FTX, and then came back to the US to fund Democrat political campaigns Where's the MSM on this?

Asterisks mine.

“That is something that con men, when they talk about their art, are always quick to point out — that you can’t swindle an honest man, but a dishonest man has it coming.
