During a viral new documentary released on Tuesday, Conservative Talk Show host Nicholas J Fuentes discussed the legal repercussions he has faced after he simply attended former President Trump’s speech on January 6th.
Fuentes never entered the capitol building and remained approximately 200 yards away from the nearest entrance. The 23-year-old talk show host says he went to the capitol building following Trump’s speech because the former President said he would also be giving a speech outside the front of the building.
“Currently the FBI is pursuing an investigation against me for my involvement at the capitol, I had done nothing wrong at the capitol, I committed no crime, I went there for the Trump rally at the Elipse which is just outside the White House,” Fuentes said during the documentary.
“I walked to the capitol with hundreds of thousands of other people for a civil first amendment protected demonstration. I didn’t participate in any violence or illegal criminal activity. So on the one hand I knew I had done nothing wrong but on the other hand, I knew that in this new country that we have, that doesn’t necessarily protect you from law enforcement.”
In the film, Fuentes noted that days later he noticed his credit card was declined for a subscription he signed up for. After checking his bank account, he found that his balance went from almost half a million dollars the day before, to zero dollars.
“I went through my transaction history and I saw a legal order that subtracted my entire bank balance,” Fuentes said. “Both my credit cards and my entire checking account were frozen.”

Considering this happened to no one else that was at or in the Capital, this seems…unlikely.
I thought we read, the days following, that one of the lady’s who head up a Women for Trump chapter, or one of those types groups also had this happen.
Her credit cards were frozen and her bank account, too.
There was a thread about it, IIRC.

“This is an anecdote I’m taking with a grain of salt. I think we may be missing a part of the story here.”
Who keeps $500k in a checking account?
No, we have a screenshot of something that some dude claims is the feds taking his money.
We've got nothing to even discuss at this point without verification.
Also, the feds can seize bank accounts, but don’t cancel credit cards.

They don’t have to. CC company does it for them.
If CC are paid off automatically from a bank account, once feds freeze that acct, no payments are made and CC company refuses to honor the cards.
Always a distinct possibility.
LOL what an imagination!
I didn’t realize this was Nick Fuentes. If they did seize his account, it was likely because of his other….activities
Never heard of him, til this thread.
Who is he?
White supremacist/nationalist. FBI has a hard-on for that group lately. But he lied about his no-fly status, blaming it on Jan 6, when it came from an anti-mask incident on a flight in December.
You are incorrect. 60 Minutes was reporting on these types of seizures back in the early 90s. The FBI is doing this on steroids now.
Under Obama, there was a convenience store owner, (in the Carolina’s I think) who had his life savings seized by banking regulators because they claimed his deposits, just under $10,000 dollars per week, were ‘structuring’, meaning he intended to stay under that $10,000 bank reporting threshold.
No, that just happened to be what his store collected in cash most weeks, (think lottery - all cash). It took him YEARS to get his money back.
Our government is completely out of control.
“Who keeps $500k in a checking account?”
Hmmmm ... that almost sounds like you are phishing.
When the real civil rights movement was happening in the fifties and early 60’s - before the battles were won - before everyone jumped on board - the little effers at the FBI treated them the same way they’re treating us today.
The FBI always stands with powerful corrupt ‘elites’... and they’ll go down with them just like they did in the past.
So don’t give up...
That shoulda been the case after the fraud schittshow. The stole an election, zero repercussion. What do you expect them to do?
Sadly you are correct.
Oh, I agree. Civil forfeiture, especially by police that can do it on a whim to enrich their departments warchest, is completely untenable.
In fact, that is one thing that both liberals and conservatives agree on, so some Congress critter needs to step the hell up and end it.
However, in this case, considering the subject and circumstance, I would need a bit more to show it happened. The government has to provide him a warrant showing what was seized, and why. Surely he will post it to prove his claim?
Nick just found out the value of “folding money”...
Our ENTIRE GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPTED BY DEMOCRATS!!
We are seeing a government against its people, who’s in charge here?
Even the KGB had a no or else rule only their rules obey.
