Right-wing personality Jacob Wohl appears to have faked death threats against himself.
Wohl and fellow provocateur Laura Loomer went to Minneapolis last month to investigate whether their quest to prove that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) married her own brothera charge based on flimsy blog comments that has been disproven.
Wohls videos to his fans were premised on the idea that Minneapolis is an incredibly dangerous place, and often featured him wearing a bulletproof vest. At one point in a new video about their trip, Wohl goes to a Minneapolis police station to report death threats he says he and his team have received since being in the city.
One of those threats came via direct message from a Twitter account called @Drakehomes612, who described himself as a Minneapolis diversity coordinator.

Smollett was charged by a grand jury of 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct for making a false report, according to a criminal complaint.
There you go ... looks like Wohl should be facing serious charges

The National Futures Association (NFA) banned Wohl for life in 2017. The NFA had received investor complaints about his activity, and upon completing its investigation, concluded that Wohl was guilty of refusing to cooperate with the NFA as required, misrepresenting investments and misleading investors.[3][14][15] Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) charged Wohl with 14 counts of securities fraud in the same year, and forced him to pay $32,919 in restitution.[16][17][14

Jacob Wohl, The Teenage-Hedge Fund Manager, Has Been Ordered To Cease And Desist"
"Jacob Wohl, the 19-year-old Wohl Of Wall Street hedge fund manager, faces a pending action by the Arizona Securities Commission that accuses Wohls companies of violating the states securities laws.
The commission cites a number instances of alleged fraudulent activities by Wohl and his companies Wohl Capital Investment Group (WCIG), Nex Capital Management, LLC (NEX) and Montgomery Assets, Inc. (MAI) in the September 27, 2016, order. A hearing is scheduled for August 7, 2017, at the regulatory agencys Phoenix office.
In response to the action from the Arizona Commission, Wohl told Benzinga in an emailed statement, "All of the allegations made by the Arizona Corporation Commission are based on false statements made by the disgruntled former investor to the commission, and are not supported by any of the documentary evidence in the case. The investor was a well heeled, accredited investor, and was provided with and signed all of the necessary risk disclosures."
