Bannon pulled this crap before. He was convicted and pardoned by Trump, who loves other corrupt people.

Great article, Will. Really good reporting. I also love that you subtly use the word “cum” in your writing. Keep up the good work.

It couldn’t happen to a smellier hobo.

Bannon has learned well from his partner in crime, Trump. Conning and lying are their stock in trade. So many MAGAe have been cheated, lied to and abused and they still come back for more. I blame the neofascist podcasters and the Fox News, et al. echo chambers. Their distortion of facts and reality boggles the mind. Maybe if enough of the cheated join together is a class action against these crooks it will bring some light and disinfectant into the situation. If you are dumb enough to trust Steve Bannon, Benny Johnson and the lot, you probably deserve the inevitable results of the grift. In an act of compassion, I feel sorry for them.

Why did they abandon the renaming effort just b/c Patriot Pay was already taken? They couldn't think of any other names? Just off the top of my head, you've got Q-Anon Quarters, Nazi Nickels, Dictator Dimes, or to honor their deceased friend Jeff, Pedo Pennies.

Between Bannon and Epshteyn this has a real 'when bad things happen to godawful people' feel to it. Assume (hope) non-pardonable?

Imagine hating Joe Biden so much you’d throw away $58,730.98. Anyone with that kind of money should have known better.

Gee, money invested with a guy who bilked thousands of people of millions of dollars for a border wall that never got built - that new money for a new scheme has disappeared?? I'm shocked I tell you. Shocked.

Would it be cruel and unusual if Bannon and Epshteyn were forced Clockwork Orange style to watch Tim Robinson on a loop?

You mean Bannon left a triple amputee in jail and didn’t ask the Don to get him a pardon? Or in the event of a state conviction, demand his release like the stop the steal conspiracist election official out in CO? What a scumbag

Why anyone would trust that anthropomorphized genital wart with their money is beyond me

Giving Steve Bannon $60k for an investment is a 'bold' choice.

You could put it that way…

We live in the dumbest timeline. What happened to critical thinking in America? Did we stop teaching basic logic? Investing in crypto is no different than playing roulette at a casino, it is just a total gamble. I think Kyra Swisher calls these types of crypto coins “shit coins”. Of course Steve Bannon launched a sh!t coin to steal people’s money. It’s both funny and frustrating

Why anyone in their right mind would invest in crypto is beyond me—seems like a giant ponzi/pyramid scheme.
