Somehow the Guy Who Tried to Steal Arizona for Trump Is Now Broke

[Jilly_in_VA]

Everyone thought the Cyber Ninjas were in it for the money.

The Republican-controlled Arizona Senate picked the Florida-based company to run the sham recount of votes in Maricopa County earlier this year, even though they had no prior experience of running election audits.

The company’s efforts were so amateurish that even the Republican-led Maricopa Board of Supervisors labeled them a bunch of “grifters and con artists.”
But it turns out that even though a variety of conspiracy-loving groups raised almost $6 million dollars to fund the audit, that money hasn’t made its way to the Cyber Ninjas.

This week the company’s CEO Doug Logan said that rather than making him rich, the sham Maricopa County recount left him $2 million in debt.

1. Is he "broke", or is this the next phase of his scam?

I believe nothing these clowns say.

[usaf-vet]

22. Moved the cash to a number account to hide it from everyone. Not broke just pocket change to carry.

[Pinback]

25. Agreed.

Lying is their first choice, every time.

[SouthernDem4ever]

26. I'm with you. He hid the money

They are a bunch of liars not to be trusted.

29. They'll be chasing thier tales for a hundred years....

[Cracklin Charlie]

4. Where's the money?

Surely Doug can find it with his cyber sleuthing skills.

Hey, Doug, a hint…look in TFG’s pockets.

[MagickMuffin]

5. Logan's wife gave birth to the couple's 12th child recently.

Still gonna grift for that money. He's got 14 mouths to feed.

“I personally think it’s a tragedy that Doug Logan sacrificed months with his pregnant wife and 11 kids (now 12) to put his business and reputation on the line,” Moseder wrote. “All of that work, risk, and sacrifice to have come out the other side being called a traitor, and to be 2.1 million dollars in debt, with a business whose reputation will forever be branded ‘right-wing conspiracy company.’”


Logan’s personal financial situation has also been in the news lately. Last week the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported that on Jan 25, Logan cleared a 30-year mortgage on his $455,000 house, less than four years after taking out the loan. The report also highlighted that this was the same date that his company’s $100,000 emergency pandemic relief loan was forgiven by the government.

8. I can't even think about the grift around the relief money or my blood pressure starts to rise. -nt

Logan’s wife gave birth to the couple’s 12th child recently.

[Biophilic]

21. All while feeding and clothing 11 kids. Interesting, hmmm. nt

[CanonRay]

9. Grifters grifting grifters

How very poignant.

[Thomas Hurt]

10. I wonder how much ended up the Pig's wallet...

[Andy823]

12. Good question

I would bet a "whole lot" of the money ended up in his pocket!

[peppertree]

34. +1

Classic Romney/Lampert/KKR-style asset stripping - though on a smaller scale.

"This week the company’s CEO Doug Logan said that rather than making him rich, the sham Maricopa County recount left him $2 million in debt."

Then you read down and it's actually:
"Moseder, on his Telegram channel, recounted a conversation he had recently with Logan, claiming that the Cyber Ninjas CEO has been left in deep financial trouble as a result of the Arizona recount."

Not the same thing. Logan did not publicly say it, nor do we really even know if he said it at all to this Moseder guy.

Nor does having a net loss of $2M on a particular business venture necessarily mean ... he's broke. Banks don't generally just loan out $2M, with zero collateral. Where did this supposed $2M come from?

Nor do we know, as claimed in the article "But it turns out that even though a variety of conspiracy-loving groups raised almost $6 million dollars to fund the audit, that money hasn’t made its way to the Cyber Ninjas."

Maybe the audit actually COST $8M?

I mean I wouldn't be at all surprised if he got ripped off by the people who raised that $6M, everyone in the Trump money-raising world is a freaking grifter (see: Bannon, Steve), but the idea Logan never got that money that was raised is pure speculation.

SO MANY freaking articles like this lately, it's so annoying. No offense OP

[BlueIdaho]

15. Could it be a way to duck

The lawsuits from Dominion, Maricopa County, et Al?

[Traildogbob]

18. Duck taxes

A trumper specialty.

[lonely bird]

17. OK. Whether he or his business is broke or not is irrelevant

Fuck him either way. He saw an opportunity based upon the idiocy of Trump and Republicans in Arizona and figured he could cash in. If he found massive fraud he would be a hero. If he didn’t…well, he would forever be connected with the RW traitor, anti-American whackjobs.

He rolled the dice and lost. Like too many gamblers he shouldn’t have gambled in the first place.

[BlueJac]

19. You can't trust Republicans with money!

LMAO

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

20. ...

[dchill]

23. Your violins are too big.

[Jilly_in_VA]

36. Tell the person in charge of smilies

to make smaller ones! I use what there is.

[dchill]

37. Somebody needs to get right on that!

Everybody knows violins are supposed to be SMALL.

[KS Toronado]

24. Der orange Fuhrer convinced everyone to consolidate the 6 million

into one of his accounts so he could make sure audits were funded properly.
And true to form he never pays his bills.

[jmowreader]

27. It makes perfect sense

The Hard Right agreed to pay Logan millions to prove Trump really won Arizona. They would then use this precedent to eventually get Trump reinstated.

When the results came back the way they did, they didn’t pay.

Today’s lesson: get your money up front:

[Hugh_Lebowski]

41. Or the audit cost $8M instead of $6M

There's literally no evidence presented that Logan got stiffed, just pure speculation by the author.

Not even the conspiracy theorist actually says that.

Maybe he was stiffed (probably likely) and I kinda hope he was, but ...

[secondwind]

28. TRUMP SHOULD KNOW WHERE THIS MONEY WENT...........

[sarcasmo]

30. ETTD

[Pluvious]

33. You might want to edit your post...

Looks like you inadvertently did a double paste

[Bengus81]

35. Bottom line is someone is LYING big time. IRS needs to do a full blown investigation

[Hugh_Lebowski]

40. Other than the article's author ... not sure anyone is lying ...

A careful reading will show that this is a click-bait article based on pure speculation and the 'word' of a shady, whackadoodle conspiracy theorist.

The IRS won't do squat without a HELL of a lot more evidence of wrongdoing than what's presented in this article.

[DFW]

38. But at least he can sing and dance calypso!

Just watch:

[Blue Owl]

43. Rump losing Arizona was the highlight of election night

That was when it all started slipping away for Fat Donny…….

[UpInArms]

44. 12 children?

Good grief!

“While many people got VERY RICH off of the AZ audit, Doug Logan is over 2 million dollars in debt, with no other means of income,” Moseder wrote. “I believe he was anticipating more audits to make up for his losses and kept being reassured, ‘don’t worry about the money, America has your back.’”

Moseder also revealed that Logan’s wife gave birth to the couple’s 12th child recently.

Idiocracy was way ahead of its time.

[JohnnyRingo]

45. Staving off potential lawsuits I'll bet..

Either by creditors or defamation suits.
