herschel walker implicated in 'jaw dropping' wire fraud scheme

[butters]

Late Wednesday evening, The Daily Beast exclusively reported that Walker solicited "hundreds of thousands of dollars" from billionaire benefactor Dennis Washington in March of 2022 "for his own personal company—a company that he never disclosed on his financial statements."

Correspondent Roger Sollenberger revealed that "emails obtained by The Daily Beast—and verified as authentic by a person with knowledge of the exchanges—show that Walker asked Washington to wire $535,200 directly to that undisclosed company, HR Talent, LLC. And the emails reveal that not only did Washington complete Walker's wire requests, he was under the impression that these were, in fact, political contributions."

Why do so many people in politics who emulate and/or solicit help from Donald Trump, seem to get into legal trouble?...

...oh.

Could it be that Walker is a graduate of Trump University? I wouldn't have thought he had the ability to figure out how to run this scam.

While I love to hate on right wing conservatives, Walker just seems like a sad case to me. When I hear of his trials and tribulations I feel pity more than anything else.

There is a clear difference between dishonest, incompentant and shamelessly corrupt, and "conservatives." Just like there is a clear difference between "sociopath" and "Conservative."

Or, there used to be anyway. And there should be. But sadly, the differences seem to be disappearing.

Me too. He probably still doesn't realize he was being used in the first place.

These billionaire donors seem pretty dumb.
It begs the question, how did they become billionaires? Maybe it was inherited, like Trump (before he lost it all and grifted it back again).
