Do these sleazy scammers really think any intelligent person with a moral compass (i.e. not their followers) is going to feel sorry for them getting scammed themselves?

They don’t care what people “with a moral compass” think as long as they can scam their followers into paying more than those $165,000 in compensation.
Nevertheless, karma is a b*tch.

There are questions that this is a false flag and that if you follow the money it’s shaped like a circle.
Wake up sheeple!

I’ve been joking about spit takes for decades, but this was the first one for real.

Couldn’t have happened to better people! And they wonder why the younger generations love irony…

I’m expecting to see more RWNJ targeted by hackers and scammers.

Is it just me or is it hard to believe anything PV says, including that they were the victim of fraud? Is there any proof aside from their own words?

Yeah, could be an inside job, or they spent it all on coke, or a big lawyer’s bill came through?

That was my thought. They got a bill from their lawyers, had no money to pay it, and cooked up a fake story, because that’s their whole schtick, to get their fans to give them money while at the same time getting their lawyers off their backs. I hope it backfires, like most of their schemes do, because you know their lawyers know exactly who they’re dealing with.

They could have thrown that money away by hiring Rudy Giuliani for 8.25 days with it. That would have been truly tragic and hilarious.
