To be fair, Hunter and his partners could do some of the financial scams without Joe Biden. The Indian Tribe Bond mess appears to be a particularly amateurish scam.
However, it appears obvious that they were 1) trading on Hunter’s name and “influence” and 2) that Joe likely benefited directly from some of their deals.
I read something earlier where someone pointed out the obvious - Joe Biden was made the “point man” for US policy and negotiation in at least three countries where Hunter almost immediately scooped up big money and big deals.
The dots have been there for a long time, but prior to the laptop there was not enough for the majority to draw conclusions. At this point, I suspect most have made up their minds, but this is some truly scandalous corruption. Blatant and very obvious.
Obviously, even without the laptop, they were not too smart about how they did this. Arrogant.
I don’t think Hunter can do his scams independently, the Big Guy, pops, (Joe Biden) always needs his 50% of cash and 10% equity.
