According to him, he insists he was on the no-fly list because of January 6th. What actually happened was that he tard-raged at a stewardess during a flight, threatened to strangle her, and got temporarily placed on the no-fly list. There's no proof that he's still on it.
It's the same way that he lied about the government confiscating his crypto. What actually happened was that the government froze his crypto exchange account because he received large Bitcoin donations from some unknown party and they needed to confirm that it wasn't from a terrorist/criminal source. After they finished their investigation, they unfroze his account. Nick conveniently leaves out the fact that they gave his crypto back whenever he retells the incident. Likewise, he lies about being de-banked by the government. He was banned from opening an account with one particular bank because he ran afoul of their AML rules or some shit.
Basically, Nick does criminal shit, faces appropriate consequences, then acts like he's being oppressed for his political views.
