Documenting a Modern Psychopath

chances are that you have no idea who jacob wall and jack burkman are well in that case sit tight while i fill you in on the details of the shenanigans and believe me there's a lot to get through with these two and most of it's nuts today we're presenting some very serious allegations against senator elizabeth warren she was involved in a very explicit relationship with a male escort who stands to my left side a decorated u.s combat veteran somebody who served our country a war hero truly sir i don't think this is a funny thing you're probably wondering what's happening here what you're watching is footage from a press conference in which jacob wall and jack berkman promised to expose senator elizabeth warren for an extra marital affair involving this guy kelvin willey who claimed to be a male escort senator elizabeth warren first secured my services from a website called cowboys for angels this site is for attractive young men as you can see time senator warren wanted not just rough sex but extensive bdsm play which i'm sure you're quite familiar with i'm sure she was very sexually adventurous and senator warren engaged in lesbian sex with my friend from high school hold on hold on hang on what we're going to show you now what we're going to show you now is that the sex between our client here and senator warren was so violent that he actually obtained scars on his back you can see two scars here that was from the cata9 tails that was trump senator warren's transgressions between late 2018 and 2020 jacob wall and jack burkman held several press conferences to smear major united states politicians with completely fabricated stories the circus-like spectacle of their attempted elizabeth warren smear has all of the common hallmarks of one of their press conferences most of them are held in front of jack burkman's house a tv out front displays a graphic pertaining to the event this one says elizabeth warren cougar their security guard louise stands there looking confused get that guy out of there he's freaking me out get that guy out of there they bring out an accuser who could barely read the script handed to them without laughing or messing up the details using a lime green strap on dildo so i can remember as i'm sorry i'm sorry what's funny and a crowd of hecklers formed just to mock the living [ __ ] out of the whole thing yeah i mean people just saw right through it i mean there were continuous lies other common fixtures of these events are a guy playing a banjo hey you're gonna have to stop with the banjo or you're gonna be you're gonna be kicked out yeah no listen no you're gonna have to stop you're gonna have to stop with the banjo a spread of donuts a guy in a corn cob costume [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and will summer a reporter for the daily beast who was kind enough to talk to me for this video you seem like you're the you're the world's fir foremost jacob wall expert right i think unfortunately i think that's fair to say so why is this interesting clearly these guys are just attention seeking trolls or a sideshow act right well i think it's far more sinister than that currently they're facing legal battles in three different states for their antics jacob wall who only recently turned 23 has also been hit with unrelated felony charges for fraud their actions have only served to irreparably tarnish their reputations reputations that were already sullied to begin with if their intentions have been motivated by their political beliefs then their smears have only been a detriment to their cause and if they're simply trolls well then the joke's on them since they're both facing the possibility of serious time in federal prison for their latest stunt what remains unclear to me is why do they do what they do what do they gain what motivates them to constantly shoot themselves in the foot that's the point of this video it's to take a deep look into the lives of two men whose actions just confound me [Music] hi i'm jacob i'm running for asb treasurer if you want more dances more spirit days more lunchtime competitions and a better treasure then you need to vote for me the way i'll promise more money is to do better fundraisers and better dances that will bring in more money for the school and more money for more fun for you these people sure want jacob to be treasured jacob wall was born on december 12 1997 in los angeles california his father david wall is a criminal defense attorney and media personality his mother a social worker a child of divorce who grew up in corona california jacob spent his youth shooting guns playing basketball and accompanying his father to television news studios we have here is a pdx 112 gauge round it's got one 72 caliber slug and three double up buckshot pellets in here and we're going to test it out on this piece of paper wow in 2003 his father david wall joined cbs 2 palm springs as a legal analyst covering the trial of convicted murderer scott peterson following that he appeared on fox news as an occasional commentator although david wall pursued a career as an on-air reporter his ambitions never quite panned out these days he focuses on his career as a lawyer sharing his conservative political beliefs on twitter and posing shirtless in boudoir calendars win lose a lot of my childhood came down to winning or losing and i love winning today on daley vice jacob wohl is an 18 year old hedge fund manager who's already made a name for himself in the business the origin story of how jacob wall became interested in the stock market is fuzzy mostly due to his inclination for embellishment if you take jacob's word to heart then he was a financial prodigy who shorted five shares of sby when he was only eight my first trade was uh shorting five shares of uh spy when i was eight and uh hold on let's back up for a second shorting five shares of spy but who taught you this stuff to explain more here's mark mielen a leading expert in non-correlated investing and journalists who covered jacob wall's early days he claimed that when he was eight years old he shorted five shares of sby and can you explain what that is and why you're laughing okay because um i've had kids an eight-year-old kid i guess it's possible um i consider it highly unlikely if you look at wool's life you can break it down into patterns of deception um he had his hedge fund period uh but then there was a discernible repeatable pattern that after he got out of his hedge fund period he later spiraled into something completely different in the political world but it followed a lot of the same patterns make outlandish statements that are provably false or have a high propensity to potentially be false and then get into a degrees of legal and or regulatory trouble and then it all blows up on when jacob was a 17 year old junior in high school he parlayed his interest in the stock market to become a commodities trading advisor for average joes like his gym teacher the operation was most definitely small time but it made for a nice little human interest story for local cable news stations like ktla which featured him in a segment called orange county high school hedge fund manager earns the nickname wall of wall street wool of wall street being an obvious play in the movie wolf of wall street and definitely a moniker that jacob assigned to himself so i want to get on monster energy as an underlying i'm very competitive and i'm good with numbers so it's almost a natural fit he started wall capital investment group about four months ago with his classmates as his first investors and then it just grew from there to their parents and then their grandparents uncles aunts you name it and in general just people from the community like teachers coaches nice job guys nice job one of those coaches is jacob's pe teacher yeah a little skeptical at first you know you're thinking you know i mean it's my first year teaching high school i was eight years in junior high so i know the kids are obviously smarter in high school and i thought man well this might be a genius kid utilizing a value stock picking approach inspired by warren buffett jacob launched wall capital investment group which solicited middle class clients and promised them the world and no i'm not being tongue-in-cheek here that's what it said in his promotional materials that he promised them the world dude was running a dinky little hedge fund out of his mom's basement and he acted like he was gordon gekko he even dressed like him too yeah pretty much was there somebody that influenced you or was there um gordon gekko if any if anybody really yeah yeah so you liked him or he hated him no i liked gordon gekko i always thought he was a cool guy okay for lack of a better word is good um you can categorize hedge funds in a couple different ways one way is to look at who their investors are his investors were middle class mom and pop that's a huge red flag a hedge fund generally speaking is used by institutional investors very sophisticated investors and uh high net worth individuals the fact that he was soliciting at that point his gym investor he was soliciting a stock investment so that stock investment would fall under sec regulations um but when he was also uh soliciting derivatives investments he was soliciting mom and pop people who don't really know uh the ins and outs particularly of derivatives which can be sophisticated investment tools still in high school jacob who was by no means a big player other than perhaps in his own mind decided that he was ready for the big leagues even though wall capital was nothing more than a cute little project funded by adults eager to support a young man's passions jacob boasted in promotional material that his firm used a guerrilla warfare mentality towards investing that was able to outperform the institutional giants again and again around this time jacob appeared on fox news to promote wall capital investment which he had taken to calling the most revolutionary hedge fund in the world in 1975 ibm ran the personal computer game and if you wanted to have a personal computer you had to be super rich until a young kid named steve jobs came around and changed the whole thing that's what i'm here to do uh wait a minute you are going to change the whole investing world like jobs change the computing world that's what i'm going to try to do stuart and this actually worked to attract a handful of investors impressed by the 17 year olds on-air appearance and this is where the story takes a darker turn because jacob wall decided to scam the ever living [ __ ] out of them so jacob kind of breaks on the scene you know outside of his high school or whatever he his first sort of brush with infamy is when he claims to be kind of this teen hedge fund genius and he has a couple of these quote unquote hedge funds um i believe he goes on fox news he gets on tv a couple times as kind of this like wonderkid um but in reality uh you know it's it's basically a fiction it doesn't really exist and so he's he's pitching these investors and he's getting tens of thousands of dollars uh but but he's not really making the returns he claims he's making in march 2015 a man named david diedrich contacted jacob after seeing him on tv when they spoke on the phone jacob grossly mischaracterized the size and scope of wall capital investment group he told dietrich that it managed 178 accounts and between 9 to 10 million dollars in assets even though the reality was that wall capital had no more than 13 investors and managed no more than 500 000 in assets at any time he also claimed that wall capital investments trades had a 99.5 percent profitability of profit jacob described these numbers to dietrich as textbook trading for wall capital diedrich sent him a 75 000 investment in three different payments between march and october 2015. months later jacob told diedrick that his investment had grown to 89 000 but when dedricks wanted to collect jacob only paid him 44 000 after stalling for several days less than half of his initial investment and purported gains jacob told diedrick that the difference was due to losses but an investigation by the national futures association indicated that his trading account told a different story he was actually making money not losing it the national futures association is a self-regulatory organization for the u.s derivatives industry jacob became a member of the nfa in february 2016. as a member of the nfa jacob was required to comply with their rules in order to continue to operate his commodities advisory firm so when david diedrich sent a complaint to the nfa saying that jacob defrauded him they launched an investigation i think one another one of the interesting sub tracks of this whole story is that he he ran into a regulator who takes their job as a sheriff to protect investors seriously that's when he ran into the nfa the national futures association which is an independent self-regulatory body that polices uh the derivatives industry to root out guys exactly like uh jacob wool there's this derivatives industry this very tough regulator and so what does wool do wool goes into that industry how preposterous is that the national futures association learned of two trading accounts controlled by jacob wall one in the name of nex capital and the other in the name of michelle wall jacob's mother the nfa complaint reads these accounts had a total of approximately two hundred and sixty thousand dollars in deposits trading gains of approximately thirty six thousand dollars and about two hundred and ninety six thousand dollars in withdrawals on june 20th 2016 a team of nfa investigators made an unannounced visit to what they thought was nex capitals headquarters what they found when they visited what jacob listed as the main office of nex capital wasn't what they expected instead of an office they found a residential home jacob's father's house when they rang the buzzer no one answered their emails and phone calls also went unanswered and they have this great report where it's like you know we went to the first address he said he had listed for his business and you know we see a guy peeking out the window and that he won't answer the door and then they go to another house and there's a little kid who answers the door it's supposed to be an office and it's just a little kid and it's presumably like jacob's brother or something that same day they visited an address jacob listed as the location of the firm's books and records what they found there was another dead end the address took them to an office at la sierra university which was closed at the time so here's where things get even funnier david wall jacob's dad called the nfa team furious with them for what he called stalking his son and threatened to file a report against them with the lapd additionally he argued that the nfa had no authority over his son or any ex-capital as jacob had withdrawn his membership earlier that month this is partially true jacob did request withdrawal of his membership from the nfa on june 13 2016 but the nfa rules state that a request to withdraw membership becomes effective 30 days after the withdrawal request is made it was the 23rd of june and wall made his request to withdraw membership on june 13th so jacob was still a member and had to comply with their investigation which is exactly what they informed david and jacob by email here's the bottom line there are some exceptions but by and large if you sell a commodity investment offer to the public you have to register if you're just trading commodities you don't need to register but if you're selling it you have to register instead of listening david wall repeated that he had contacted the lapd and any attempts to contact jacob would result in their arrest and prosecution their hands tied and jacob refusing to comply with their investigation the nfa decided to permanently bar jacob wall in nex capital from nfa membership which effectively meant that he was permanently banned from running a hedge fund that managed futures derivatives trading this wasn't the only time david wall threatened legal action against someone he perceived as harassing his son he did the same thing to william legate a software developer best known for creating the ios application fake a text when he was 14. david wall first contacted legate after he refused to remove tweets about jacob david wall was particularly upset about a photoshopped image of jacob wall wearing a corncob costume corncobbing refers to people who refuse to accept that they have lost a debate and continue to insist otherwise hey billy this is david roll jacob's dad hey we noticed you're back added on twitter again uh sending out defamatory actionable tweets uh complete lies about jacob i'm not i'm honestly at my wit's end with you we are going to file suit we're going to serve you a draft department we're done messing around with you so you can delete those tweets immediately or you'll be served with suit uh very quickly so it's your choice bill willy william whatever your name is but we're dead serious now there was one profile that had me in what looked like i was wearing a corn costume like a corn stock a piece of corn one of jacob's tactics to solicit investors was to hire models off of craigslist to reel them in jacob would bring these women along to investment conferences get them to flirt with investors and when an investor took the bait then jacob would swoop in and make a pitch jacob hosted a number of websites such as wallgirls.com and melanie rios management.com which is the name of a porn star the main record showed that he also registered buyabadbitch.com and buyaslut.com he told the daily beast quote fake websites and craigslist ads were posted by trolls of mine in 2016 and i immediately reported them to the fbi while girls.com featured a section called wall girl of the month sometime in the summer of 2016 jacob uploaded a photograph of a young woman without her consent and described her as one of the newest additions to the agency that young woman's mother told the daily beast that jacob reached out to her daughter representing himself as a social media manager of instagram models and promised to make her famous jacob then used her photos on wildgirls.com and made her a wall girl of the month he eventually took her photos down after her mother called him and told him to do so okay so at this point he's banned from the nfa for life and now arizona's got him on fraud and misrepresentation charges i remember going through that whole event he had he had been sort of brazen he you know he was supposed to meet with regulators and then he he posts pictures of himself on twitter with instagram models going to las vegas i mean he was just doing brazen uh defiance of regulatory authority and then arizona got he'd ultimately find the police would would get him as well out of california but then arizona got him i thought that was going to be the end of him on september 27 2016 the securities division of the arizona corporate commission filed its temporary order to cease and desist a notice of opportunity for hearing against jacob wall and his partner matthew johnson barring them from activities in the state the arizona corporate commission's investigation began after david diedrick the same man who sparked the nfa investigation filed a complaint this would be the last time that david dietrich would file a complaint against jacob wall he later committed suicide how much it had to do with being defrauded by jacob wall is unknown yeah so arizona investigates him for uh security sales he ends up i believe pleading out or you know essentially cutting a deal where he's going to owe tens of thousands of dollars that he still years later hasn't paid back um you know the most interesting one comes in um i believe 2019 when jacob is indicted in uh california uh for unlawful security sales over this this really kind of tortured story of a guy who an adult who seemingly kind of bought into jacob's hype and lent him tens of thousands of dollars or who invested this money through jacob and it basically turned out it was all a con you know according to the um according to the charging documents and this guy is like oh crap you know i need to get my money back and then jacob the money has disappeared and so this guy ends up killing himself um and so jacob has been charged in that case the arizona corporate commission's filing named four investors who were victims of jacob's alleged fraud false or deceptive claims and bad acts david diedrick was the only investor with a given name on the filing the rest are referred to as investor 2 3 and 4. investor 2 gave jacob and nex capital a 20 000 check in early december 2015 but stopped payment of the check she had tendered to nex capital a month later when she suspected foul play investor 3 like diedrick contacted jacob in march 2015 after seeing him on television investor 3 gave jacob 5 000 to invest after being led to believe that he would receive a high rate of return if he invested by january 2015 jacob only returned a check worth nearly three thousand dollars when investor four contacted jacob on july 18 2016 she had just received an inheritance of one hundred thousand dollars she found a craigslist ad for jacob's house flipping investment firm called montgomery assets which jacob started to focus his attention on after being banned from trading derivatives on the phone jacob told her quote montgomery assets is quite a large firm not ultra large it's not goldman sachs it's not wells fargo but you know it's got a nice solid team he told her that the firm had 30 years of experience and had been around for a while despite the fact that he made the company only a few months prior additionally wall was only 18 years old at the time and his partner matthew johnson 27 years old perhaps sensing that the investment promises jacob wall was making were too good to be true investor 4 never sent him a check the arizona corporation commission charged him and his companies with 14 counts of securities fraud the commission found that neither wall nor his companies were licensed as a broker and therefore were not permitted to provide investment advice or register to offer and sell securities in arizona additionally they found that jacob wall repeatedly misrepresented the size of his companies and the risk associated with investments jacob wall consented to fines and penalties assessed by the arizona corporation commission later that year now he could have went to prison for securities fraud if he didn't agree to file a consent decree instead he was only fined however to this date jacob wall still hasn't paid his fines the acc is now working with the arizona attorney general's office to pursue collection efforts against jacob wall on october 23 2017 the acc held an open meeting in which the board questioned jacob wall's lawyers about the outstanding payments and if wall would ever pay his fines can i make one comment um before you do okay commissioner dunn are you comfortable with that no i i think we should ask the um counsel here that that his client is willing to agree to this i i'm wrestling with this too there's been a second default of payment on this i'm wondering why we're going through this exercise and why you think your client is going to be able to make payment just on a later date if he is not able to make a payment today uh i do not believe that there was an original thief in july 2016 jacob wall was contacted by undercover authorities posing as a real estate agent and as a client who wanted to invest money after multiple conversations jacob wall asked them to invest a hundred thousand dollars with his house flipping company montgomery assets and guaranteed a 17 return of investment three years later on august 19 2019 awards was issued by the riverside county da's office for jacob ball's arrest for one count of violating the california corporation's code by selling an unregistered security that same day jacob was taken into custody he pleaded not guilty and is currently awaiting a settlement hearing which has been postponed due to covet 19. jacob's dad david wall said the district attorney never bothered to talk to jacob if they did i don't believe the case would have been filed i'm very disappointed given my 30 years of experience with that office jacob has zero criminal history and was shocked by this as well according to david wall jacob learned about the wards for his arrest through the media okay last but not least jacob wall was investigated by the sec jacob wall was the subject of a year-long investigation by the united states security and exchange commission the sec concluded that they found no grounds for enforcement action however victoria levin an assistant regional director in the sec's enforcement division stated that their conclusion must in no way be construed as indicating that the party has been exonerated or that no action mate ultimately results from the staff's investigation in an email jacob wall told benzinga dot com that quote i know very well i have never done anything illegal or immoral [Laughter] you serious before i talk about how jacob wall pivoted from a life of petty financial fraud into becoming a political smear merchant i'd like to introduce you to his partner jack workman for example firing off in power grid our former clinton white house staffer david good friend and jack burkman attorney at jm brookman and associates and you know how it works guys 20 seconds to make your case and then we go at it after that jack you probably don't even need 20 seconds to tell us why you don't think it should be expanded jack burkman was born in pittsburgh pennsylvania strangely he has not publicly disclosed his exact birthday but he was likely born in either 1965 or 1966. after graduating from georgetown with a law degree he enjoyed quite an accomplished professional career beginning in the 1990s he worked for rick lazio a new york congressman as his legislative council following that he worked as a lobbyist and later joined the prestigious firm holland and knight after that he started his own lobbying firm j.m berkman and associates which prospered however midway through the 2010s jack burkman became bored with lobbying for some reason he decided that what he really wanted was media attention at any cost in 2014 he gained the attention he desired by saying he wanted openly gay football players banned from the nfl after michael sam who at the time was a college football star announced that he was gay now local lobbyist jack burkman plans to propose legislation banning gay athletes from joining the national football league tonight we have jack live in the newsroom jack thanks for being here mike pleasure good evening good evening so what is this about jackson we're already calling this a stunt no hardly it's done it's about restoring common decency mike jack's brother james who's gay denounced his actions with a tweet stating that he was being an ass soon jack's campaign to ban gays from the nfl fizzled but according to his brother james he got exactly what he wanted attention in 2016 jack burkman gained media attention again by inserting himself in seth rich's murder investigation now to our top story an omaha family is grieving tonight after their son was shot and killed in washington d.c over the weekend seth rich was born and raised in omaha he worked for the democratic national committee in seth rich was a 27 year old dnc staffer who was shot on early sunday morning on july 10 2016 while walking home from a bar a police investigation suspected that he was the victim of a botched robbery but dubious rumors spread that he was assassinated for leaking hillary clinton's emails jack burkman offered a 130 000 reward to anyone with information about seth rich's murder he posted flyers announcing the reward around the bloomingdale neighborhood where seth rich was shot he also contacted seth rich's family and held a press conference with them hi i'm jack burkman today i want to talk to you about something very important the murder of seth rich as you may know i have formed an independent commission to investigate this murder but we need more information we need to hear from you please check out our website who killed seth.com but soon his relationship with the family soured they called him a publicity seeker and were especially disturbed by his decision to film a reenactment of seth rich's murder oh what do you guys want did you want something you want my wallet here have it my phone you want my phone too you can have both have my watch too we don't want your damn watch we're not here for that you damn amateur you exposed us no no no i took all the necessary precautions they can't trace you to anything save your breath do not run walk walk you don't want to do anything what are you doing [Music] so [Music] they cut contact with him shortly after that jack burkman continued to investigate the murder he teamed up with a former marine named kevin dougherty to help solve the case the two later had a falling out and kevin doherty shot him twice in the ass and tried to run him over with a car berkman says he went to the keybridge marriott's parking garage to pick up documents from someone he thought was an fbi whistleblower but this is where things get interesting i wasn't expecting anything bad and bang bang bang i feel two shots in my leg then the police say burping was hit with an suv by some miracle a girl who was in on the second floor there staying there flung open the window and screamed and that's probably what saved my life because he then reversed course skedaddle [Music] you said there's a lot of young people your age that are sort of closeted trump supporters tell me about that you're 18. yeah yeah i mean there's a lot of people that you know sort of support trump they're not very vocal about it and you know you see in this case cruz has this you know very real penchant towards lying very hillary s he's sick right and he's being called out for it so where does a spurious crook go after being banned from training securities at the age of 19 well the world of online politics where grifters with the morality of executioners tend to shine the wave of donald trump spawned many online personalities bereft of any qualifications other than a twitter account and an ability to pander to all things mega the movement was littered with unscrupulous characters like candace owens who emerged on the scene after she identified the earning potential of the trump bandwagon despite the fact that she ran a site doxing trolls who made offensive comments online that exact same year it's likely that jacob wall witnessed the rise of people like canis owens and wanted a piece of the pie it was around 2017 that jacob wall made this career pivot instead of presenting himself as a financial guru he decided to become an online political commentator he started live streaming on youtube recording a podcast and he created a blog called the washington reporter which branded itself as a producer of independent journalism and hard-hitting investigative reports and it was later discovered that his website's code of ethics was directly plagiarized from propublica a simple way to look at how he marketed himself at this time is just to look at his twitter bio his twitter account featured a bio that read trumponomics expert financial and political commentator his banner was a photo of him posing with donald trump at a photo op how did he get this well his father david wall was a donald trump surrogate which is probably how he got the opportunity to meet the former president jacob grew his twitter following by rapidly responding to all of donald trump's tweets with sycophantic praise his over-the-top fawning caught the eyes of the former president donald trump retweeted jacob wall back when it was uncharacteristic for him to do so and i gotta say this was very very uncharacteristic for donald trump to do at the time he never retweeted anybody but here he was retweeting jake wall and that got him a lot of attention so much attention that articles were written about jacob wall wondering who he was it was after being retweeted by donald trump that jacob declared i will further the president's agenda at all costs and i won't apologize for it so basically jacob wall was donald trump's number one bootlicker reply guy asskisser perhaps you're not familiar with the term reply guy but it's uh it's fairly self-explanatory it's someone who constantly replies to someone else's tweets before donald trump was suspended from twitter there were several accounts that you'd always see in his replies these people tended to be either trump devotees or trump detractors so they'd reply to every single tweet that donald trump made and gained thousands of likes and thousands of followers doing so it was an incredibly effective way to grow a brand perhaps their intentions were sincere but it's clearly a strategy that many use to gain exposure take the crestonsine brothers for example two brothers from florida who amassed hundreds of thousands of followers by replying to every donald trump tweet with some variation of orange man bad like jacob wall the crescent scenes had a history of fraud before getting into online politics the department of justice seized over five hundred thousand dollars of their money in assets because they ran a ponzi scheme and committed wire fraud years later the crescent brothers became lightning rods of the hashtag resistance to donald trump movement and they basically used this to grow a following and make money they made an anti-trump children's book called how the people trumped ronald plump and they also made a website called hill reporter but their success was a flash in the pan soon they were booted off twitter in 2019 for operating multiple fake accounts and purchasing account interactions jacob wall and the crassensteins are two sides of the same coin opportunists opportunists with a history of fraudulent activity who benefited off of people's sincere political beliefs for personal gain and just like jacob wall the crafted scenes are just seen as a big joke another way that jacob wall gained a lot of attention online were his hipster coffee shop tweets basically the premise of these tweets were that he overheard liberals in a hipster coffee shop whispering about secretly supporting donald trump these tweets were so widely mocked that there's a know your meme page about them so i think jacob's kind of breakout moment on twitter was that he would always tweet he came up with this kind of trope where he would claim that he had heard something at a hipster coffee shop and it was kind of counterintuitive for what you might think would happen there so it would be something like um it was always like a very niche thing it was like i was just at a hipster coffee shop and i heard two people talking about how thrilled they are that um trump is pulling out of the trans-pacific partnership like it was very specific things like surely you wouldn't hear this and then he just kept tweeting it all the time and so you know it kind of became a meme on twitter and he as we would later find out with other jacob things he has a great skill for just keeping a straight face when he's doing he's clearly doing an act and just clearly lying through his teeth and he just says oh no no i really heard that it's unclear how jack burkman and jacob wall first met or why they decided to create fake smears against major politicians who they considered to be enemies of donald trump in media appearances jacob has given explanations ranging from meeting at pro-trump events to him being recruited by jack berkman due to his investigation skills and business savvy if canceled culture created an environment where everyone is guilty until proven innocent then in theory all they had to do was create a false accusation to ruin someone else's life it's a tactic that political hatchetmen have been using throughout history for example the seventh president of the united states andrew jackson was accused by his political opponents of being the son of a prostitute and a black man baseless smear campaigns could be a very effective political tool but as you'll soon learn not when wielded by jacob wall and jack burkman pay close attention because their robert mueller smear was as needlessly convoluted as it was sublimely stupid and so in um i believe the fall of 2018 uh jack it has teamed up with jacob and the circumstances here is still a little confusing how they teamed up but they team up and uh they say we have a woman who was sexually assaulted by robert mueller maybe 10 years ago um and you know this is going to be a big deal and at the time you know people thought of these guys as kind of like scurrilous characters but they didn't think of them as like guys who are just have no credibility whatsoever just completely gonna lie but quickly this thing starts to fall apart [Music] it began on october 19 2018. on that day jacob wall tweeted spoke to a prominent dc insider today who told me that there are several women prepared to make credible allegations against dirty cop robert mueller robert mueller was a former director of the fbi and was appointed as special counsel to highly publicized investigation of russian interference in the 2016 election that same day jack burkman posted this video onto his facebook page hey guys we're here to talk about robert muller and his sexual abuse and is he an alcoholic is he an alcoholic a day later he said that he had witnesses that claimed robert mueller is a drunk he also said that he talked to seven women who claimed to have been harassed by robert mueller and that one woman might come forward he carries around a flask he carries it and drinks straight booze even more serious it appears that bob mueller has really a whole lifetime history of harassing women we have now talked to seven women who claim to have been harassed by bob mueller prior to this a woman named lorraine parsons emailed several reporters that a man who claimed to work for jack burkman offered her 20 000 and a payment of her credit card debt if she agreed to make up accusations of sexual misconduct against robert mueller who she said she worked with at a law firm in now do you remember how i said that this smear was needlessly convoluted well later it turned out that lorraine parsons didn't exist she was a fabrication by jacob wall and jack burkman and the reason they did that who knows journalists tried to contact the law firm that she said she worked at but there was no record that she ever worked there she said she lived in fort myers florida but that also couldn't be corroborated at the same time a law professor named jennifer taub also received an email from a man named simon frick who claimed to have worked for a firm called surefire intelligence by the way unlike lorraine parsons jennifer tobb is actually real simon frick on the other hand was not simon the name of the email was simon frick but someone named jacob wall has later admitted that he's behind that organization this other person um lorraine parsons no one's really sure if she exists so what's interesting is the story broke about her because she'd been sending she or someone using that name and sending this email around to folks and has never been never been able to be contacted right so it's all it's all a very strange strange situation anyway simon frick offered her a payment to speak about past encounters she might have had with robert mueller jennifer taub has never met robert mueller after receiving the email she reported it to the fbi and they started an investigation after i found out about the person situation i began to wonder whether they had reached out to me because i had written an opinion piece about um about the brett kavanaugh hearings and my own personal experience with sexual assault so perhaps they read that and thought well she wrote about this maybe she'll make up stories the firm surefire intelligence which simon frick said he worked for was a bogus private intelligence agency made up by jacob wall um so the day before the press conference they say you know we had this investigated by this company called surefire intelligence it's like a very like elite uh like spy service essentially um but not quite uh you know someone called surefire intelligence's phone number which went to jacob's mom's voicemail suggesting that jacob was in fact behind it um a lot of the pictures of surefire intelligence employees were in fact actors and models that he clearly just pulled it was like bar rafaeli like leonardo dicaprio's ex-girlfriend um and in fact the picture of the head of surefire intelligence on his linkedin if you brightened it it was just a picture of jacob it was like a very shadowy picture it was just a picture of him so clearly this scheme had already kind of started to fall apart jacob ball set up surefire intelligence as an llc a month before the mueller smear but he used it before then to scan people out of petty amounts of money and to pick up girls jacob had a history of using the alias michael cohen as michael cohen jacob presented himself as a 25 year old harvard dropout and ex-missad agent who was the leader of surefire intelligence prior to the mueller smear jacob made craigslist advertisements offering private investigation services through surefire intelligence and some people took the bait a young woman named julian adams found an advertisement on craigslist for sure fire intelligence's services and gave jacob twelve hundred dollars to recover her stolen hummer which he had lived out of for the previous two years to julian surefire intelligence seemed legit it had a sleek website an impressive roster of investigators and there was a medium post about it called surefire intelligence the cia for hire for the rich and famous the medium post claimed that surefire was made up of a staff of ex-massage agents which included forensic accountants former intelligence professionals of various nationalities cyber specialists and her translator flew into eight languages the article was written by evan goldman who claimed to be an israeli journalist covering the shadowy world of private intelligence [Music] evan goldman did not exist evan goldman was just another example of a fictitious identity created by jacob wall a reverse google image search showed that his profile picture was stolen from a model named oren katan a texas oil heiress named carolyn cass was also duped by jacob wall and sure fire intelligence carolyn had fallen on hard times after being swindled by her trust fund officer and then being scammed out of her inheritance by a social media manager who promised to make her a pop star after filing a case against the social media manager she sought out a private investigator so she looked on craigslist there she found surefire intelligence and a man named michael cohen which was jacob wall's alias jacob agreed to collect dirt on the social media manager and charged carolyn two thousand dollars for his services carolyn pawned the title of her car to pay him several weeks later jacob informed her that he was going to drop the case as it was too expensive for him to proceed despite her disappointment she didn't complain perhaps because by then the two had already formed a romantic relationship they dated for several months for most of the time that they were together carolyn believed that jacob was michael cohen who was a harvard dropout and ex-massage agent on october 30th 2018 jack berkman announced that he'd reveal the first of special counsel robert mueller's sexual assault victims at a press conference to be held on november 1st 2018 at the rosalind holiday inn on thursday high noon at the holiday inn right here in arlington virginia right behind me only about a thousand yards that way we will unveil the first of the sex assault victims of robert mueller jacob wall made a similar announcement on his twitter by then many journalists were already on to their rules they already discovered surefire intelligence's connections to jacob wall even though everyone knew that they were the ones behind the robert mueller smear jacob wall and jack burkman denied any wrongdoing and declared that they would still go forward with the press conference the gateway pundit a website that's known for promoting fringe conspiracy theories interviewed wallenbergman and released a video that's since been scrubbed from the internet during the interview the duo claimed that their allegations were credible and well vetted they provided the gateway pundit with a document which they said proved the allegations against robert mueller and the document was published onto the site hours later the gateway pundit removed the document recanted the story and announced that they would investigate jacob walt with wall and berkman's smear already debunked before they held a press conference you'd think that they'd have a great plan up their sleeve to make the whole thing seem legitimate the answer is no instead they proceeded to mess up even more the person they chose to pose as robert mueller's victim was none other than caroline cass the texas oil heiress i spoke about earlier who was romantically involved with jacob walt one night while speaking to jacob on the phone caroline told him that she'd been date raped by a former employer in a hotel room several years prior naturally jacob consoled her and thanked her for trusting him enough to share that with him right no no that's that's not what he did instead of doing what someone with a soul would do jacob used the details of her story to write a script for her to read at the press conference where she would accuse robert mueller of sexual assault jacob offered her 50 000 to make the false allegation and promised to give her an alias so that her real name would never be mentioned to the press moreover he ensured her that he was in contact with other mueller victims who were hesitant to come forward she believed that she would be the catalyst for them to do so and would be hailed as a hero as a result before traveling to the press conference carolyn cass saw a story on her news feed that was about wall and berkman still under the impression that his name was matthew cohen she asked him who jacob was he then told her that he didn't know at the airport a ticketing agent referred to him as jacob after seeing his id she questioned him once again and he told her that it was just an alias that he was using for the day she finally realized that michael cohen was jacob wall after seeing him look at his social media while she pretended to be asleep on the plane when they landed in washington caroline escaped booked a flight to new york and called him to tell him that she wouldn't go through with the press conference although wall and berkman had promised to bring forward an accuser they decided to go ahead with the press conference despite not having one the documentary after truth disinformation in the cost of fake news features a segment that follows while in berkman on the day of the press conference i can't show you clips from it because of copyright but i'll put the link in the description below and then they hold the press conference and you know i i think there are still some people who are you know you know you don't want to come out and say someone you know a woman is making up a story and so the big question was who this woman was gonna be and so they had kept her identity secret um and then you know there were some sort of some flaws already in their their timeline of when this happened but they get up there and they don't have their accuser and i say well where's the accuser and they say well she got so many death threats you know she didn't want to come and i said well none of us know her name and then you know so hbo had a video and hbo had them mic'd up and then they go down the hall and they say oh geez that's a really good point i guess we need to change our lives um so then they they come up and this thing is just a disaster of a press conference um their accuser doesn't show she later says they put her up to it and it's all lies she had been dating jacob it's very kind of twisted story um jacob uh they have an affidavit that they released with her name but it's misspelled throughout um kind of disastrously jax fly is down the whole time during the press conference which you know people are tweeting flies down all this stuff you know um and yeah it was a big mess i mean someone in the crowd yelled you know they were like we'll take one more question and said someone said you know are you ready to go to prison and so they kind of essentially have to flee their own press conference um so yeah i would say jacob's first big foray into politics did not go great after the smear fell apart surprisingly carolyn cass became involved in a relationship with jacob wall once again he never told her why he lied about his identity and he never paid the money he built from her despite that they continued their relationship for the next few months until jacob dumped her because he didn't want to tell his friends that he was dating a 34 year old that's when she decided to tell her story to the press there's a great article written by lexi pandel that goes over carolyn cass's story in far more detail the link is in the description box below so that's it for part one of this series in part two i'll cover wall and berkman's several other smears believe it or not things even get crazier so stay tuned for that in the meantime check out my patreon for only one dollar you'll get early access to my future videos two days before i upload them to youtube to keep tabs on what i'm up to follow me on twitter i also have an instagram and a subreddit links are in the description box below

I bet Jacob Wohl has watched this 10+ times

[u/killermelga]

What really bothers me is how upfront he is about what he does.

From wikipedia: Wohl said, "Now that I've been banned by Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram, I no longer have any reservations about using their platforms to 'manipulate the conversation,' as they put it. Project 1599 will make Cambridge Analytica look like a middle school science fair project."

[u/Kapjak]

Weirdest thing is that this motherfucker is only 23. Like just call it quits go to college and land a nice job with your Dad's connections.

[u/exwasstalking]

Does this explain how he has managed to avoid jail? He got caught attempting to frame Robert Mueller for sexual assault during the Mueller investigation and nothing happened. And that was only one of the things he has been caught doing.

[u/graps]

The best is when Matt Christman from Chapo went to his presentation at CPAC a few years ago out of his mind on acid and was just laughing like a mad man at him. So were the reporters that were there

[u/Notarussianbot2020]

Can we really call them conspiracies if we already agree they're manufactured?

They're lies.

[u/Luke-HW]

If you’re wondering where Wohl is now, he’s currently dealing with 18 felony charges of voter manipulation and 2 felony charges of selling unregistered securities. He’s facing up to 28.5 years in prison, total. He’s 23, and could be behind bars into his 50’s if they choose to throw the book at him.

[u/joeyjoejoe_7]

The odd thing to me is that he probably could have built a legitimate, healthy business by now if had put all that time and energy to good use.

[u/UncleShags]

Wow. I had to look him up.

Wikipedia contains a lot of info. This part I found particularly perfect:

In June 2018, Wohl's now-defunct news blog, "The Washington Reporter," was found to have completely plagiarized its Code of Ethics from the journalism non-profit ProPublica.
