A year later Weev would play a key role in professionalizing the trolls who played a key role in getting Trump elected.
A strange find from the Epstein files:
A hacker named Vincenzo Iozzo shares with Epstein a rumor that Peter Thiel was "bankrolling" the neo-Nazi white supremacist hacker troll known as "weev."
Conversation is about financial strategies and "currencies."

He “resigned”. No explanation. No accountability. No apology. His personnel file doesn’t even mention the cases.
