. . . New Emails Show Hunter Biden Allegedly Leveraged Ties With His Father To Increase Pay At Burisma

Newly published emails allegedly show that Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden ’ s son , Hunter Biden , leveraged his relationship with his father , then-Vice President Biden , to increase his pay at Ukrainian gas company Burisma .

thelibertydaily--2020-10-15--4 Key Changes Coming To L.A. If Soros-Backed Challenger Wins Biggest D.A. Race In America

George Gascón is often referred to as the “ Godfather of progressive prosecutors.
” While serving as San Francisco ’ s District Attorney , he won the support of several liberal financiers , including mega-donor George Soros and several deep-pocketed philanthropists from the Bay Area .
Now , they are backing his current campaign to take over the nation ’ s largest prosecutor ’ s office in Los Angeles County , home to more than 10 million people .
Gascón claims that his strategy strives to find the proper balance between reducing violent crime and increasing public safety “ without @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prosecute some offenses to the fullest extent allowed if elected on November 3 , but Gascón ’ s critics equate that vow to a refusal to enforce laws mandated by both constitutional and statutory authority .
The countywide election , featuring two Democrats , is a priority for the national anti-incarceration movement , given that the L.A. County Sheriff ’ s Department operates the largest jail system in the United States .
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors is part of multiple political action committees committed to ousting the two-term incumbent D.A .

Lacey is considered the establishment candidate and has the support of law enforcement unions .
The New York Times has called the contest “ one of the most consequential races in the country.
” Last October , Gascón said he had “ become increasingly more uneasy seeing the backwardness of the criminal justice system in L.A. , ” then announced he would challenge Lacey the following week .
Gascón said that his “ goal ” is to “ offramp as many people as we can from the system @ @ @ @ @ @ @ diverting individuals “ to other avenues of intervention whenever we can.
” “ I believe that even short periods of incarceration are harmful in many ways , ” Gascón said .
He supports redirecting money away from the Sheriff ’ s Department to social services , such as mental health treatment , substance abuse programs , and youth development .
Gascón ’ s chief spokesman described the philosophical differences with D.A .
Lacey as “ seeking punishment versus seeking results.
” “ If mass incarceration made us safer LA would be the safest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s not , ” said Max Szabo , who also worked for Gascón in the San Francisco DA office .
“ The practice also has huge implications for taxpayers.
” Here are four sentencing changes Gascón said he would implement if elected as the top law enforcement official in L.A. 1 .
Gascón would not seek the death penalty .
“ I oppose using the death penalty under any circumstance , ” Gascón has said .
“ If elected , however , we will go further , and I will not seek an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ death row.
” Gascón released his plan in February , claiming the punishment “ is fatally flawed , racially biased , and risks executing innocent people.
” “ I will work collaboratively with various stakeholders to get as many of the 229 people currently on death row from Los Angeles County resentenced to a sentence other than death , ” he said .
Gascón also promised to “ drop the death penalty in ongoing cases reversed on guilt or penalty phase.
” The candidates recently sparred over the issue during a debate .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ We don ’ t want this penalty anymore , ’ we ’ re going to continue to seek it in some cases , ” Lacey said .
According to Lacey , her office only pursues capital punishment in “ the most heinous and egregious ” circumstances , with the last execution in California occurring on January 17 , 2006 .

Gascón said prosecutors in his office would be required to obtain approval before pursuing mandatory minimum sentences for some crimes .

He referenced other countries around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 20 years ” for serious offenses .
“ After 20 years , it ’ s a year-by-year evaluation of psychological and dangerousness assessment , ” Gascón continued .
“ I think that we need to start moving in that direction .

That ’ s not to say that it would never happen , but it ’ s not automatic.

Gascón released his plan in February, claiming the punishment “is fatally flawed, racially biased, and risks executing innocent people.”

Gascón also promised to “drop the death penalty in ongoing cases reversed on guilt or penalty phase.”
The candidates recently sparred over the issue during a debate.
“Until the voters tell me, ‘We don’t want this penalty anymore,’ we’re going to continue to seek it in some cases,” Lacey said. According to Lacey, her office only pursues capital punishment in “the most heinous and egregious” circumstances, with the last execution in California occurring on January 17, 2006.
Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order last year, suspending the death penalty during his administration. Only voters can repeal the law, which is part of the state constitution.
2. Gascón said he would not enforce some mandatory minimum sentences, such as California’s ‘Three-Strikes Law.’
Gascón said he would not be seeking mandatory minimum sentences permitted by California’s controversial ‘Three Strikes Sentencing Initiative.’ Voters overwhelmingly approved the measure in 1994 to increase prison time for repeat offenders. Its passage amended the state’s constitution, requiring a prison term of at least 25 years to life for defendants convicted of their third felony with two or more prior strikes. Gascón was part of an effort to soften the law in 2012, revising the mandatory minimum sentence requirements to apply only to individuals whose third felony is serious or violent.
As DA of San Francisco, @GeorgeGascon led fights to reform the Three Strikes Law & get people convicted of nonviolent offenses greater opportunities to get their lives back on track. I know he’ll work every day as DA of LA County to demand accountability from our justice system. — Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) February 19, 2020
Gascón said prosecutors in his office would be required to obtain approval before pursuing mandatory minimum sentences for some crimes.
“I don’t believe that necessarily having the type of sentencing schemes that we have, where we’re sending people to prison 40-50 years or longer periods of time, has any connection to public safety,” Gascón told The Appeal.
He referenced other countries around the world with punishments “usually around 20 years” for serious offenses.
“After 20 years, it’s a year-by-year evaluation of psychological and dangerousness assessment,” Gascón continued. “I think that we need to start moving in that direction. One of the things that I did in San Francisco was that we looked hard at any sentence over 20 years.”
“If I were to be elected DA in LA, I would probably lower that threshold to 15 years, where we have to have a strong executive review of any commitments that will go much longer. That’s not to say that it would never happen, but it’s not automatic.”
3. Gascón said he would not pursue gang sentencing enhancements.
During a virtual debate with current District Attorney Lacey earlier this month, Gascón committed to eliminating gang enhancements that add years to criminal sentences. As the Los Angeles Times recently reported:
If elected, Gascón said he would no longer seek gang enhancements, which can lengthen a defendant’s prison sentence if a jury finds the crime benefited a gang. Such enhancements have been “corrupted,” he said, citing the alleged falsification by six officers from the LAPD of field interview cards that erroneously labeled dozens of people as gang members and associates. Lacey said she would continue pursuing the enhancements, emphasizing that a defendant’s association with a gang is proven not by the field interview card but through testimony and other evidence brought before a jury.
Offenses perceived as small gang crimes can quickly escalate in L.A. For example, gang graffiti that could be marginalized as vandalism often creates a larger zone of danger within the subculture, sometimes leading to violence and murder.
"We need to get rid of all gang injunctions. Injunctions treats an entire neighborhood like criminals…. gang enhancements and CalGang needs to go away…we need to see kids as kids." DA Candidate @GeorgeGascon #YouthJusticeForum — Youth Justice Coalition (@YouthJusticeLA) February 15, 2020
Gascón previously charged suspects with gang enhancements as San Francisco D.A. but says his views have since evolved. He now considers the punishment “the product of discriminatory police work.”
4. Gascón said he would not transfer juveniles to adult court.
In July, Gascón released his plan to reform the youth justice system.
“I will end the ineffective practice of sending youth to the adult court system to be sentenced to prison,” he pledged. “Adult prisons are no place for youth as they are bereft of age appropriate treatment, education, or any other rehabilitative services.”
Gascón cited statistics indicating juveniles sentenced as adults are more likely to attempt suicide and are at the highest risk of rape while incarcerated.
Los Angeles has the largest juvenile justice system in the United States because @LADAOffice continues to ignore the science of youth brain development. As DA, @GeorgeGascon will stop transferring children to adult court and start treating kids like kids again. pic.twitter.com/K5OJaH5BHe — Real Justice (@RealJusticePAC) September 2, 2020
According to Eric Siddall, Vice President of the L.A. Association of Deputy District Attorneys, transferring youth to adult courts is a rare but necessary practice. The prosecutors’ union has endorsed D.A. Lacey.
“Consider a juvenile who committed multiple brutal murders,” Siddall said. “In Gascón’s new world, this murder will remain under the juvenile court’s jurisdiction, even if the court does not believe that the juvenile system is suited to deal with him.”

RUSH EXCERPT:
CARLSON: “Most of us never imagined it could happen in this country and today did happen. A major American newspaper published a story apparently an entirely accurate story about a presidential candidate. The tech monopolies that control American media feared the story might hurt that candidate whom they favor. So three weeks before a national election, they shut the whole thing down. They prevented the public from reading the news. They didn’t apologize for doing this. They didn’t bother to make up a reasonable sounding justification for it. They just did it, exactly as the Chinese government does. These are monopolies. They have all the power. You have none. They don’t have to care what you think and they don’t. This was mass censorship on a scale that America has never experienced in 245 years.”

Dirty Deep State Steele Dossier Back Channel Bruce Ohr Resigned from DOJ Ahead of Disciplinary Review Decision

Bruce Ohr , a longtime Justice Department veteran who was harshly criticized by the DOJ ’ s watchdog for concealing his discussions with British ex-spy Christopher Steele from his superiors during the Trump-Russia investigation , resigned last month ahead of an impending disciplinary review decision .
“ Bruce Ohr retired from the Department of Justice on September 30 , 2020 .

“ Mr .

“ Despite having been closed for cause , the Crossfire Hurricane team continued to obtain information from Steele through Ohr , who met with the FBI on 13 occasions to pass along information he had been provided by Steele , ” DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz said in a December report .

Ohr, who worked with Steele for years and acted as a conduit between Steele and the bureau during the Trump-Russia investigation, was interviewed by the FBI in 2016 and 2017 and passed along info from the British investigator. Ohr was the fourth-ranking official at the DOJ until he was demoted after it came to light that he met with Steele and Glenn Simpson, the co-founder of Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm that commissioned Steele's work.

Documents show Ohr was removed from his position as associate deputy attorney general in December 2017. In January 2018, he lost his position as director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force and shifted to be counselor for international affairs in the Criminal Division.

Horowitz’s report criticized the Justice Department and the FBI for at least 17 “significant errors and omissions” related to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants against Trump campaign associate Carter Page and for the bureau's reliance on the Democrat-funded discredited dossier compiled by Steele. Declassified footnotes from Horowitz’s report indicate that the bureau became aware that Steele’s dossier may have been compromised by Russian disinformation, and FBI interviews show Steele’s primary subsource undercut the credibility of the dossier.

One problem with Cruz's accusation? Charles Manson died nearly three years ago, in November 2017.
"One would presume they have made a determination it's in their political interest to more convicted felons, more convicted murderers, more convicted rapists, more people convicted of domestic abuse, voting — they've made an assessment that that helps their prospects on Election Day," Cruz said during the Wednesday hearing.
"I'm not sure our democracy is better by changing the law to allow murderers to vote," Cruz continued. "One of our colleagues, Sen. Sanders of Vermont, over the course of the Democratic presidential primaries, argued not just felons who are out of jail, he argued that felons in jail, literally Charles Manson, serving a life sentence — or I think multiple life sentences for murder — should be able to vote."

Twitter locked the Trump campaign’s account on Thursday for trying to share a video accusing Joe Biden of being a “liar” related to The Post’s report on Hunter Biden’s emails, according to the campaign’s social media manager.
From his own personal account, Mike Hahn tweeted a screenshot of the message from Twitter, reading, “Your account has been locked” and showing the post @TeamTrump tried to send to its 2.2 million followers on Wednesday afternoon.
“Joe Biden is a liar who has been ripping off our country for years,” the would-be tweet said, with an apparent link to a video.
Twitter accused the Trump campaign of “violating our rules against posting private information.”
“Twitter has suspended @TeamTrump for posting a video calling Joe Biden a liar who has been ripping off our country for years, as it relates to the @nypost article,” Hahn wrote. “19 days out from the election.”
The suspension comes the same day the social media platform blocked numerous accounts for tweeting links to The Post’s exclusive story, claiming it contained “hacked material.”
Facebook also moved to limit the spread of the story.
On Wednesday, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey admitted “our communication around our actions on the @nypost article was not great. And blocking URL sharing via tweet or DM with zero context as to why we’re blocking: unacceptable.”


thelibertydaily--2020-10-15--Emails Reveal How Hunter Biden Tried to Cash in Big on Behalf of Biden Crime Family With Chi-Com Fir

Emails Reveal How Hunter Biden Tried to Cash in Big on Behalf of Biden Crime Family With Chi-Com Firm

Jose Altuve shook off two of the worst games of ...

Hunter Biden pursued lucrative deals involving China’s largest private energy company — including one that he said would be “interesting for me and my family,” emails obtained by The Post show.
One email sent to Biden on May 13, 2017, with the subject line “Expectations,” included details of “remuneration packages” for six people involved in an unspecified business venture.
Biden was identified as “Chair / Vice Chair depending on agreement with CEFC,” an apparent reference to the former Shanghai-based conglomerate CEFC China Energy Co.
His pay was pegged at “850” and the email also noted that “Hunter has some office expectations he will elaborate.”
In addition, the email outlined a “provisional agreement” under which 80 percent of the “equity,” or shares in the new company, would be split equally among four people whose initials correspond to the sender and three recipients, with “H” apparently referring to Biden.
The deal also listed “10 Jim” and “10 held by H for the big guy?”
Neither Jim nor the “big guy” was identified further.
The email’s author, James Gilliar of the international consulting firm J2cR, also noted, “I am happy to raise any detail with Zang if there is [sic] shortfalls ?”
“Zang” is an apparent reference to Zang Jian Jun, the former executive director of CEFC China.
The email is contained in a trove of data that the owner of a computer repair shop in Delaware said was recovered from a MacBook Pro laptop that was dropped off in April 2019 and never retrieved.
The computer was seized by the FBI, and a copy of its contents made by the shop owner shared with The Post this week by former Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Another email — sent by Biden as part of an Aug. 2, 2017, chain — involved a deal he struck with the since-vanished chairman of CEFC, Ye Jianming, for half-ownership of a holding company that was expected to provide Biden with more than $10 million a year.
Ye, who had ties to the Chinese military and intelligence service, hasn’t been seen since being taken into custody by Chinese authorities in early 2018, and CEFC went bankrupt earlier this year, according to reports.
Biden wrote that Ye had sweetened the terms of an earlier, three-year consulting contract with CEFC that was to pay him $10 million annually “for introductions alone.”

“The chairman changed that deal after we me[t] in MIAMI TO A MUCH MORE LASTING AND LUCRATIVE ARRANGEMENT to create a holding company 50% percent [sic] owned by ME and 50% owned by him,” Biden wrote.
“Consulting fees is one piece of our income stream but the reason this proposal by the chairman was so much more interesting to me and my family is that we would also be partners inn [sic] the equity and profits of the JV’s [joint venture’s] investments.”
A photo dated Aug. 1, 2017, shows a handwritten flowchart of the ownership of “Hudson West” split 50/50 between two entities ultimately controlled by Hunter Biden and someone identified as “Chairman.”
According to a report on Biden’s overseas business dealings released last month by Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), a company called Hudson West III opened a line of credit in September 2017.
Credit cards issued against the account were used by Hunter, his uncle James Biden and James’ wife, Sara Biden, to purchase more than $100,000 “worth of extravagant items, including airline tickets and multiple items at Apple Inc. stores, pharmacies, hotels and restaurants,” the report said.
The company has since been dissolved, and Hunter Biden’s law firm, Owasco PC, was one of two owners, according to the report.
Biden’s email was sent to Gongwen Dong, whom the Wall Street Journal in October 2018 tied to the purchase by Ye-linked companies of two luxury Manhattan apartments that cost a total on $83 million.
Dong, who owns a sprawling mansion in Great Neck, LI, has been identified in reports as CFO of the Kam Fei Group, an investment firm based in Hong Kong.

The documents obtained by The Post also include an “Attorney Engagement Letter” executed in September 2017 in which one of Ye’s top lieutenants, former Hong Kong government official Chi Ping Patrick Ho, agreed to pay Biden a $1 million retainer for “Counsel to matters related to US law and advice pertaining to the hiring and legal analysis of any US Law Firm or Lawyer.”
In December 2018, a Manhattan federal jury convicted Ho in two schemes to pay $3 million in bribes to high-ranking government officials in Africa for oil rights in Chad and lucrative business deals in Uganda.
Ho served a three-year prison sentence and was deported to Hong Kong in June.
Neither Biden’s lawyer, the Joe Biden campaign, Gilliar, Dong nor Ho’s lawyers returned requests for comment, but Biden’s lawyer has previously said, “There is no need for comment on any so-called information provided by Rudy Giuliani.
“He has been pushing widely discredited conspiracy theories about the Biden family, openly relying on actors tied to Russian intelligence. His record of dishonesty in these matters speaks for itself,” lawyer George Mesires added.

Lizzo : Hi .

Singer Demi Lovato sang her anti-Trump song for the audience.

The Virginia Beach public school system is using a staff training resource written by a man who ...

Last Updated on October 14, 2020
Musician, comedian and all-around entertainment powerhouse Baked Alaska appeared on NATIONAL FILE TV with Patrick Howley to defend himself after he was banned from YouTube for his anti-mask advocacy.
Baked Alaska went viral with two different videos in which he refused to leave stores including a Chevron, with one video showing a police officer about to detain him. Baked Alaska refuses to bend a knee to the Mask Tyranny, as he explains:
NATIONAL FILE reported: Multiple left-wing media personalities have begun tagging the Twitter accounts of social media platforms and begging them to take action against In Real Life (IRL) livestreamer Tim “Baked Alaska” Gionet, whose livestreams have garnered significant attention and positive feedback in recent weeks.
A clip of Gionet, who holds America First conservative political views, telling employees enforcing mask regulations to “shut the f**k up” drew the ire of left-wing self-described comedians Vic Berger and Tim Heidecker on Monday.
Berger, whose claim to fame is making “Drumpf bad” video edits on social media, appeared to advocate for violence against Baked Alaska, stating, “How has this loser not had the s**t beaten out of him? How does he still have teeth?”
NATIONAL FILE’s Patrick Howley was recently banned for life from the Menards chain of home improvement stores for refusing to cut off needed oxygen to his face.

Facebook has already admitted to censoring the bombshell story this morning from the NY Post on Hunter Biden introducing an Ukrainian oil executive who advised Burisma’s board to his father when he was vice president. Here’s what they wrote:
While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook's third-party fact checking partners. In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform. — Andy Stone (@andymstone) October 14, 2020

“We are reducing its distribution on our platform.” This is blatant election interference by Andy Stone and Facebook, who admits they are doing this without the cover of fact checkers. I should note that Andy Stone, via his bio, is an activist Democrat.
Josh Hawley responded to Facebook demanding that they disclose their evidence that this is disinformation:
.@Facebook I want to know on what grounds you are actively censoring a news report about potentially illegal corruption by the Democrat candidate for president. If you have evidence this is “disinformation,” disclose it immediately. Expect a formal inquiry from my office — Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) October 14, 2020
UPDATE: Hawley in fact sends Facebook a formal inquiry:

Meanwhile, Biden’s campaign released a statement denying the meeting ever happened:

They reviewed his ‘official schedule’ and that’s how they know the meeting didn’t take place. Yeah, right, like he’s going to put a meeting like this on his schedule. But even if he did, they probably ignored the ‘white out’ painted on top of it.

thelibertydaily--2020-10-16--ABC Fake News Democrat Clintonista George Stephanopoulos Fails to Ask Joe Biden About EXPLOSIVE Hunt

ABC Fake News Democrat Clintonista George Stephanopoulos Fails to Ask Joe Biden About EXPLOSIVE Hunter Biden Emails

ABC News ’ George Stephanopoulos failed to ask former Vice President Joe Biden at a town hall Thursday night about new email evidence that his son , Hunter Biden , arranged a meeting with him for an adviser to the corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma in 2015 .
As Breitbart News noted Wednesday , the New York Post reported on emails it had obtained from an abandoned laptop in which Hunter Biden ’ s correspondence with a senior Burisma official was preserved .
Hunter Biden introduced his father , then-Vice President Joe Biden , to a top executive at a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company , according to emails obtained by The Post .
The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi , an adviser to the board of Burisma , allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17 , 2015 , about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $ 50,000 a month .
“ Dear Hunter , thank you for inviting me to DC and giving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spent [ sic ] some time together .
It ’ s realty [ sic ] an honor and pleasure , ” the email reads .
An earlier email from May 2014 also shows Pozharskyi , reportedly Burisma ’ s No .

The blockbuster correspondence — which flies in the face of Joe Biden ’ s claim that he ’ s “ never spoken to my son about his overseas business @ @ @ @ @ @ @ massive trove of data recovered from a laptop computer .
The mainstream media attempted to ignore the story , and social media companies suppressed or blocked it , provoking complaints about censorship and leading Republicans to announce that they would subpoena Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey .
That led the Wall Street Journal ‘ s James Freeman to write earlier Thursday : Many Trump voters who tune in to ABC tonight will be fully expecting the anchor to invite “ undecided voters ” to ask the former vice president if he thinks the President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Mr. Stephanopoulos could also dodge the issue by inviting Mr. Biden to share his opinion of the New York Post .
On the other hand , tonight also represents an opportunity for ABC to set itself apart from the raft of media companies , new and old , that have dedicated the last 36 hours to suppressing a damning report about their favorite candidate .

ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos failed to ask former Vice President Joe Biden at a town hall Thursday night about new email evidence that his son, Hunter Biden, arranged a meeting with him for an adviser to the corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma in 2015.
As Breitbart News noted Wednesday, the New York Post unveiled emails which the paper reports were obtained from an abandoned laptop containing Hunter Biden’s correspondence with a senior Burisma official.
The Post broke the story:
Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company, according to emails obtained by The Post. The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month. “Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email reads. An earlier email from May 2014 also shows Pozharskyi, reportedly Burisma’s No. 3 exec, asking Hunter for “advice on how you could use your influence” on the company’s behalf. The blockbuster correspondence — which flies in the face of Joe Biden’s claim that he’s “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings” — is contained in a massive trove of data recovered from a laptop computer.
The mainstream media attempted to ignore the story, and social media companies suppressed or blocked it, provoking complaints about censorship and leading Republicans to announce that they would subpoena Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.
That led the Wall Street Journal‘s James Freeman to write earlier Thursday:
Many Trump voters who tune in to ABC tonight will be fully expecting the anchor to invite “undecided voters” to ask the former vice president if he thinks the President is being mean to the Biden family. Mr. Stephanopoulos could also dodge the issue by inviting Mr. Biden to share his opinion of the New York Post. On the other hand, tonight also represents an opportunity for ABC to set itself apart from the raft of media companies, new and old, that have dedicated the last 36 hours to suppressing a damning report about their favorite candidate. Regardless of the particulars of the Post reporting, Hunter Biden’s overseas windfalls have been clear for a while. ABC should hold the former vice president to account for the abuse of his office.
Despite having 90 minutes in which to ask Biden the question, Stephanopoulos never did so, nor did anyone in the audience.

thelibertydaily--2020-10-16--Robinhood Internal Probe Finds Hackers Hit Almost 2,000 Accounts

Almost 2,000 Robinhood Markets accounts were compromised in a recent hacking spree that siphoned off customer funds , a sign that the attacks were more widespread than was previously known .
A person with knowledge of an internal review , who asked not to be identified because the findings aren ’ t public , provided the estimated figure .
When Bloomberg first reported on the hacking spree last week , the popular online brokerage disclosed few details .
It said “ a limited number ” of customers had been struck by cyber-criminals who gained access by breaching personal email accounts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some of the victims acknowledge and others reject .
Read more : Robinhood Users Say Accounts Were Looted , No One to Call The attacks unleashed a torrent of complaints on social media , where investors recounted futile attempts to call the brokerage , which doesn ’ t have a customer service phone number .
Robinhood , which has more than 13 million customer accounts , is now considering whether to add a phone number along with other tools , the person said .
“ We always respond to customers reporting fraudulent or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ possible to complete investigations , ” the company said in an emailed statement .
“ The security of Robinhood customer accounts is a top priority and something we take very seriously.
” This week , Robinhood sent push notifications to users suggesting they enable two-factor authentication on their accounts .
It also plans to send customers more advice on security , according to the statement .

Several victims said they found no sign of criminals compromising their email @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accounts were accessed even though they had set up two-factor authentication .
Lena Williams , a human resources professional in the Chicago area , can ’ t figure out how hackers got into her account more than a month ago .
She found no intrusion into her email and had set up two-factor authentication .
But one day , she woke up to alerts that her investments were being sold , and she quickly discovered she was locked out of the account .
Robinhood has said it will work quickly with customers to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ account was hit Sept. 10 and that her repeated emails and a Twitter message weren ’ t returned until Thursday .
Miah Brittany Laino , who works at a home-improvement store in Arizona , thought her account was safe for several reasons .
She said two-factor authentication initially blocked someone from accessing it on Sept. 13 .
She then followed Robinhood ’ s instructions to change her password .
The firm said it would prevent trading until she submitted her identification .
She didn ’ t bother to send it in , figuring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ account disabled .
Early the next morning she received a barrage of alerts on her phone .
“ It said ‘ This stock sold .
This stock sold .
This stock sold , ’ ” recalled Laino , 29 .
“ It ’ s like if you wake up at 4 a.m. and your house is on fire.
” Unable to find a phone number , Laino said she emailed customer support but received no response .
Then she checked her email ’ s trash bin and discovered someone had accessed it , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Robinhood .
Laino said she got a call from customer support on Sept. 25 .
That ’ s when she learned someone had created fake identification and submitted it to Robinhood to reactivate trading .
The forgery had her information , a photo of a different person and a font that doesn ’ t match Arizona ’ s official state IDs .
Laino said Robinhood restored her account and stock holdings , but she still plans to eventually leave the firm .
“ I don ’ t want to sell right now , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ m not going to put any more money into it .
I don ’ t really trust them.
” Robert Riachi , 23 , is still in limbo .
He said his email was compromised more than a week ago and that thousands of dollars went missing from his Robinhood account .
Its customer support team asked him to provide ID , but Riachi said that since submitting it he hasn ’ t received updates .
Each time he asked for one , he got a new case number and now has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , noting three are active .
Riachi , a software engineer in Montreal , said he had four years of savings in his account and doesn ’ t know whether they ’ re gone because he ’ s locked out .
If he gets the money back , he plans to move his account to Charles Schwab Corp. “ I feel like my money could be put somewhere else , somewhere that has a human person that I can talk to , ” Riachi said .
“ It ’ s kind of ridiculous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ handling people ’ s livelihoods , people ’ s money , has the audacity to make people wait several weeks to hear back anything .
