Whitaker "cited his status as a former U.S. Attorney, then threatened the disgruntled customer"
Rachel Maddow reveals the threats the new acting AG used in his ‘scam’ company to intimidate victims
“According to the FTC, the other part of their scam is when their customers started to complain about having been defrauded, about having had all their money taken for nothing, about having been scammed, this company that Whitaker was a part of, World Patent Marketing, would then threaten their customers,” the host said.
WPM, the complaint read, sent customers a blog post about a would-be client who “was stopped, detained and expelled by [the company’s] intimidating security team, all ex-Israeli special ops and trained in Krav Maga, one of the most deadly of the martial arts.”
“The World Patent Marketing security team are the kinds of guys trained to knock out first and ask questions later,” the company’s braggadocious post continued.
The company would also “write threatening e-mails to customers who might be willing to complain about having been defrauded by the firm” — including one sent by Whitaker “in which he cited his status as a former U.S. Attorney and then threatened the disgruntled customer with ‘serious civil and criminal consequences if he dared to complain,'” the host noted.
