Hunter Biden admits he used cushy Burisma gig to fund crack cocaine addiction
NY Post ^ | 8/31/26 | Victor Nava

Posted on 08/31/2026 10:00:07 PM PDT by Libloather

Hunter Biden acknowledged in a new interview that his lucrative board appointments, including one at Ukrainian energy company Burisma, helped finance his crack cocaine addiction.

“I never went broke,” Biden boasted on the “Dopey” podcast, after describing a two-month-long bender at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, Calif., where the former first son said he tried to “go out with a bang.”

“Dopey” host Dave Manheim asked Biden how he was able to “scrape the money together” for the cocaine and prostitutes and private bungalows at the luxurious Chateau Marmont.

“Well, I still had the residual. Like for instance, I still was on the board of Burisma,” Biden explained.

Biden earned up to $1 million per year ($50,000 per month) from 2014 to 2019 to serve on the Burisma board, despite having no relevant energy industry experience.

During Joe Biden’s presidency, Republican lawmakers probed the first son’s involvement with Burisma as part of a sprawling investigation into an alleged Biden family influence-peddling operation.

As vice president, Joe Biden supported Ukraine’s natural gas industry after Hunter quietly joined Burisma in April 2014. Hunter’s infamous abandoned laptop also showed that his father met with a Burisma executive at a Washington, DC, dinner a year later.

The energy expert got paid $85,000 month while smoking crack. He's now running for Pedo Pete's old job.

Cool - we got a few steps closer to nuclear war with Russia because of FJB’s family corruption and Hunter’s coke addiction.

Why did VP Joe Biden meet with a Burisma executive at a Washington,
DC, dinner a year after Hunter got the million dollar Burisma gig?


The April 16, 2015, dinner at Cafe Milano in Washington, DC, was arranged by Hunter Biden, who invited several international business associates, including a Burisma adviser, to meet then-Vice President Joe Biden. ——House.gov report

The dinner occurred on April 16, 2015. Hunter Biden invited a group that included Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.

House.gov reported Emails and testimony indicate that Hunter frequently brought foreign business contacts to dinners or events where his VP father was present......in a series of lucrative influence-peddling schemes.

Congressional investigators pointed out that Hunter Biden used his VP father’s presence to give the power-mongering foreign executives bragging rights, providing them w/ insider creds so as to monetize “access and influence” in official Washington......a huge payday in these corrupt countries.


ABC News - Breaking News, Latest News and Videos
Testimony from Hunter business associates like Devon Archer noted that these encounters were very calculated——brief social greetings, exchanges of pleasantries (not substantive policy or business discussions), which gave corrupt Joe Biden deniability——to swear he had no involvement in his son’s commercial dealings.

He misspoke... That was a crack cocaine... And hooker addiction and most of those hookers were likely informants for the Ukrainians, the Russians and the Chinese.

Hunter Biden acknowledged in a media interview that his lucrative board appointments, including his million dollar perch at corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma (obtained solely on the basis of Hunter’s father being a VP)........greatly helped finance his crack cocaine addiction.

VP Joe Biden used his official govt position to assist Burisma and to protect his son Hunter Biden.


Biden corrupted Official U.S. Policy Calling for Removal of a Burisma bigwig:

BACKSTORY: Then VP Joe Biden led official US and international efforts in 2015 and 2016 to push for the removal of Ukraine’s Prosecutor General, Viktor Shokin.

The Reason centered on the US, the European Union, the International Monetary Fund, and Ukrainian anti-corruption activists all viewed Shokin as corrupt and ineffective for failing to aggressively prosecute corruption.

Caught on video, Biden’s influence peddling scheme began with his “threatening” to withhold a $1 billion U.S. loan guarantee (which Biden was not authorized to do)....... unless Shokin was dismissed.

Far from protecting Burisma, Shokin’s office had actually facilitated dormant or inactive probes into the company.

Anti-corruption officials and Western allies wanted Shokin removed precisely because he was not pursuing corruption investigations effectively, including those related to Burisma’s owner, Mykola Zlochevsky.


The Biden influence-peddling scheme worked: Hunter Biden served on the board of directors for Burisma from 2014 to 2019 at a $$$million annualy.

Congressional investigations and emails showed that Hunter Biden occasionally introduced corporate associates or executives—including a Burisma representative—to his father during brief, casual drop-ins or events.

This move was very calculated b/c in corrupt countries like the Ukraine handing Busisma bragging rights about meeting with a US VP was enough to precipitate a huge payday.

Official records released later also showed that Hunter Biden was “on the hunt”.......independently facilitating an influence-peddling scheme.

Hunter reached out to the US Embassy in Italy in 2016 to ask for an introduction to local regional officials regarding a “geothermal project.”

US officials confirmed that no official backing was provided and no project materialized.

How can this guy look in the mirror and say, “Yes, Americans should like me better than the Trump family, because I bring... absolutely nothing to the table but entitlement and expense.”

> Hunter Biden, 2028 Presidential Candidate.<

He’s just trying to get ahead of the story for his presidential run. That’s where the real money is. The media will use this to deflect from the fact that his daddy grifted him into the job. “He did it for his addiction. We must forgive him”. Move on.

He’ll be able to siphon more than that measly million from campaign donations and live like a king for a year.

Didn’t Joe say (more than once) that Hunter was “the smartest guy he knew”? Speaks volumes about his judgement.
