EXCLUSIVE: Hospitalized Brad Parscale 'is under investigation for stealing up to $40M from Trump's campaign and $10M from the RNC', as he spirals out of control over 'gravy train' ending and mounting debt from his lavish lifestyleDonald Trump's demoted campaign boss Brad Parscale is under investigation for 'stealing' between $25-$40 million from Trump's 2020 presidential campaign, well-placed sources exclusively told DailyMail.com.
The 44-year-old is also being investigated for 'pocketing' nearly another $10 million from the Republican National Committee, the insiders added.
The revelation comes as Parscale was involuntarily committed to a hospital by Fort Lauderdale police on Sunday following a concerning episode at his $2.4 million Florida home.
... snip ...
A Trump insider explained to DailyMail.com that Parscale went into a tailspin after he was demoted in July and replaced by his former number two, Bill Stepien, as he's worried about the 'gravy train' ending and keeping up with his lavish lifestyle.

And the Trump campaign found its fall guy. They're hoping no one notices where the other 900M disappeared to.

(10,123 posts)he be given a choice:
1. Spend a lot of time in prison
2. Rat out those above you.
He'd better hope the campaign he allegedly stole $ from prevails ... because among other things, as a felon in Florida, he could lose his right to vote!

I love hearing about all the looting at the NRA as well.

(12,286 posts)Conflating his fear over going to prison with a true mental health crisis to garner sympathy is disgusting.
He's a wife beating money grubbing grifter.
He should go to prison for a long long time.

(18,672 posts)$40 million is essentially peanuts compared to that. Parscale is being set up as the fall guy.

(11,495 posts)Not saying he wasn't taking money, but the whole things was about funneling money out of the campaign, and RNC, for trump. Now he could take the fall for all that missing money.
If he is smart the will start talking, and try and cut a deal to help him reduce any jail time he could get if he goes to trial.

@parscale
isn't in a psych ward because of the current

story.
He's in a psych ward because he knows the next two stories that are coming.

(6,265 posts)are deflecting their theft(s) of 800,000,000 million to Parscsle since he has acted out giving them a perfect candidate to throw under the bus. Meanwhile, they are shifting their ill-gotten gains around different shell companies till after January and then I bet they try to go low under the radar and try to disappear.

(43,142 posts)how embezzlers walk off with such large sums. I mean, bank deposits, ECH transfers, checks. Must be a specialty technology skill.

(17,175 posts)If Brad had taken five paper clips from inventory when the maximum was three, he would have been fired his second day. Meanwhile, while they're focused on the paper clips, he can be wheeling The Master's Golden Throne out the front door and they'll never even notice. Hell, they'll even hold the door open and help him load it in the truck.

(790 posts)Trevor Noah has a theory that a reason why Trump doesn't want to leave the White House is that his Secret Service protection ends. Ex-presidents do continue to have S.S., but usually more scaled down. Maybe Donny will have the White House bunker excavated and moved to Mar-A-Lago. Americans are just exhausted with the costly, criminal, tragic White House Grift-o-Rama.

Dumbass.

(118,281 posts)doesn't deserve either the money or a quiet peaceful life
He might have enjoyed some real underworld cred as "the dude who took Trump for a nice little ride" by pretending he was helping set up the family dynasty, if he could have maintained his cool
But, no, he had to parade his vision of godly marriage, between one suicidal drunk man with a gun-filled basement and one woman with her face bruised from his beatings
I suppose he can now try to explain to his psych-ward doctors that the President is planning to kill him for stealing tens of millions of dollars the Russian mafia wanted to launder, but it's become a steep climb since he's been committed
