Brianna Wu / John Walker Flynt - "Biggest Victim of Gamergate," Failed Game Developer, Failed Congressional Candidate

[CatParty]

Does this count as doxing? I guess "dumb enough to donate to Brianna Wu" merits a good doxing courtesy of Uncle Sam.

EDIT: Holy Christ, I can't believe how many people gave in triple digit amounts. So far the most I've found is a staggering $500 from this joker: https://twitter.com/bradseiler?lang=en

 

[Norvic]

So does Wu actually campaign in district 8? Also Frank has skimmed just over $5500 off the top from this grift.

Not a single expense was incurred anywhere in the 8th district. And yeah, Frank skimming 25% off every donation... well, if that's not some sort of illegal I'll eat my hat.

The fact that he can make $21,000 off a fucking joke campaign bid makes me want to slit my fucking throat.

Re: people thinking Wu will go to jail for lying about expenses, no. The absolute worst you can expect to happen is the IRS audits her and demands a few hundred dollars to be changed to personal expenses.

Frank Wu took in 28.10% of the campaign finances.

I just went from zero to A-log in less than a second.
It's Maine, MAINE.

Way to insult potential voters, dumbfuck.

You don't have a uterus, John.

That's what they are. Childless. Thankfully, much like you and Frank are and will be.
I pray that John's next phase won't be "I'M A PROFESSIONAL PARENT! TAKING CARE OF KIDS IS ALL ABOUT [insert bullshit neo-feminist far-leftie progressive nonsense here]! WE MUST PROTECT ALL OF OUR KIDS FROM MOON ROCKS!"

 

[Peace and Harmony]

Yes John, we already know you can play as Peach so it's the best game ever, we get it.

Re: people thinking Wu will go to jail for lying about expenses, no. The absolute worst you can expect to happen is the IRS audits her and demands a few hundred dollars to be changed to personal expenses.

I hope John and Frank end up in prison and are forced to get White Power tattoos on the faces while being skullfucked.

She'd have to pay back all expenses deemed personal, as well as a fine. If it was shown she did this maliciously, she could get jailtime.

 

[Karellen]

I'm genuinely shocked she

• Filed her report on time
• Made more than $10k
• Frank skimmed money

 

[NQ 952]

To add to the numbers, Frank Wu brought in 65.6% of the total disbursements for this filing period.

Can you spell "Scam" boys and girls?

The CSV file, which is more helpful, is here:
http://docquery.fec.gov/showcsv/wpa17615/1157939.fec

I made my own cleaned-up CSV file for maximum efficiency, which is attached. Sorry I couldn't make an Excel sheet, but you can import this into your own Excel.

Some stats:
Massachusetts is surprisingly the most common source of donors, with 114 who donated $6367.84 (also the largest state in total donations)
California is next with 87 who gave $4506.66.
No one from Mississippi donated.

Self-employed was the most common occupation (20). Google was the most common real employer, with 9 donors.

The King Cuck is Michael Blaguszewski of Veson Nautical, who gave $1000.

People we should look into: I see some attorneys (whose bar associations might want to know about any hijinx they get up to), a retired US Senate staffer, and some professors.

Twitter staffers who donated: Michael Margolis and Jason Harris.

Facebook staffer who donated: Thomas Baker

Anyone else find anything good in the data?

EDIT: one more thing - this data is not cleaned up in any way. So there may be some duplicates, misspellings, etc. that are really the same but counted separately. The self-employed and unemployed people especially had different ways of phrasing it.

 

[Henry Bemis]

So does Wu actually campaign in district 8? Also Frank has skimmed $6,102.05 off the top from this grift.

What for? She's going to the white house, baby!

 

[AnOminous]

EDIT: Oh man. This is the first time I've considered the possibility that this is going to be more than a joke ... that our buddy John really might find himself in genuine legal trouble. Check out one of his disbursements on page 153: Trattoria Bianca, a meal while attempting to "meet potential voters."

Sounds above board and normal, right? Yeah, well, not really. It's Trattoria Bianca in Brooklyn.

Report this shit. They do look into it. This scammer is already on their radar because of inability to even do basic paperwork correctly.

Amazing. By the 21st Century, the FEC is actually now in the 20th Century. I don't know if you have ever looked at FEC shit in the past, but they used to have the most horrifying database structure I've ever seen, with fixed-length fields because they'd been loaded from punch cards in the past. They weren't at the time, but they still had this old IBM structure of fixed length fields that was virtually unreadable.

Anyway it's still shit but csv is practically modern compared to the shit they used to have.

One more thing - this kind of hits me right in the feels, an actual celebrity (sort of) donated to Wu:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_M._Solovay

 

[Anonymus Fluhre]

Lynch's wife gave him more than Wu's husband did.

That being said, there's a lot of American Express payments on Lynch's form. I wonder what those are for.

Did you catch the $500 donation from someone working for Square.Inc?

 

[Mola Ram]

Massachusetts is surprisingly the most common source of donors, with 114 who donated $6367.84 (also the largest state in total donations)

....
The King Cuck is Michael Blaguszewski of Veson Nautical, who gave $1000.

I think these two things are related. Veson Nautical is located on Boylston Street in Boston. I'm assuming there are a lot of friends of the Wus on this list, and I suspect this guy has got to be one of Frank's buddies.

Also, there are a couple of high-ticket donations from ... urgh ... physicians. How would you like to be prescribed drugs by someone stupid enough to donate $250 to Brianna Wu?

 

[Kosher Dill]

Sorry for spamming this thread, but I figure I'll just get this all out there.
Suspicious and/or unusual people:
John Holzer, Moreno Valley, CA - part of an elevator workers' union
Timothy Reedy, Yorktown, VA - Welder at Newport News Shipbuilding
James Shanley, Newburyport, MA - cook at Joppa Fine Foods
Adrienne Bosh, Miami Beach, FL - unemployed, gave $500
James Greco, New York, NY - unemployed, gave $100
Steven Theus, Elmont, NY - unemployed, gave $20
Rebekah Jensen, San Jose, CA - unemployed, gave $30
Jason Shapiro, Santa Fe, NM - unemployed, gave $100
Ngozi Robinson, Chicopee, MA - Baptist minister (?!?!)
Nancy Soja, Brookline, MA - unemployed experimental psychologist (LOL), gave $50
Kathryn Edwards, Renton, WA - executive director of the IGDA (paging all gamergoblins)
Kelly Kasper, East Weymouth, MA - unemployed/disabled, gave $5
Eric Cooper, Quincy, MA - chef at Forage Restaurant
Jon Katayanagi, Martinez, CA - self-employed pest control guy

And last but not least...
Quincy Fleming, Albuquerque, NM - "Badass Airline Pilot"

I don't believe for a second that John was really chatting up random blue-collar workers in Virginia.

 

[Anonymus Fluhre]

Could the American Express and Visa charges be minor things like meals? The only real minor thing I see on Lynch's forms is just paying for gas and cellphone bill, everything else seems legit. Unlike the Wu's who want to make everything an expense it seems.

 

[Chan the Wizard]

I'm glad Mr. Flynt filed the appropriate paperwork. Now he stands a real chance.
John Walker Flynt for Congress! I believe in Wu!

He's going to change the world and I can't wait for him to join the big boys.

Someone else might want to make a list of all academics, but there's probably no point. I already got the ones who work for state universities. The rest are probably safely ensconced in hugboxes.

EDIT: one more pseudo-celebrity sighting: Graham Rowat is a Broadway actor in "Sunset Boulevard" as well as a Bioshock voice actor.
