Show Me On The Doll Where Meatball Hurt You: Letters To Matt Whitaker's Former Scammy Fraudy Patent Company!
Nice company Trump's fake thug acting attorney general keeps.
We know SO MUCH about fake acting attorney general Matthew "Meatball" Whitaker now! And just about any detail we have on the guy is disqualifying for the position of wiping our dog's ass, much less the highest law enforcement post in the land. But, you know, Donald Trump picks the best people, so ...
Whitaker was on the board of World Patent Marketing, a scammy fraudy Florida-based company that bilked would-be inventors (veterans!) out of shitloads of their hard-earned money (sometimes their life savings! ), promising to promote their inventions and then making off with their CA$H. Sometimes Whitaker would mean-mail them some yell-y words if they complained about how they had lost all their money! Sadly, because the company was not above-board, the world has been denied the breezy benefits of inventions like the Masculine Toilet, which could have been the potty that would at last have kept the biggest penis-dongs among us safe from getting flushed down the toilet with the poops, because of how their owners may have big dicks but they're too dumb to stick their 18-incher anywhere but DOWN INSIDE THE WATER.
World Patent Marketing's scam is under investigation by the FBI, and the Federal Trade Commission shut it down in 2017, and determined that it bilked $26 million out of 1,504 customers in the three years prior. Whitaker joined the board in 2014.
Now, aside from the mean and aggressive emails Meatball sent a few dissatisfied customers, we don't have any reason to believe he PERSONALLY hurt all those customers. But just the same, Reason filed a request with the Florida attorney general for complaints on World Patent Marketing, perhaps to further establish what sort of character Meatball is, and what gutter trash he consorts with. Reason got 47 pages in response, and a good number of the complaints sound like this (bolding is Wonkette's, and also we should say [ sic ] throughout the transcripts of the complaints):
My husband and I sent this company a lot of money. We do not have a lot of money. My husband has been very very stressed about this situation since January 15, 2015. We understand it is now in receivership and we are unsure what that means. Can you help us?My husband is a disabled Viet Nam veteran.
And this:
My name is John Dell'Olio and I'm having a problem with World Patent Marketing. [...] I've given then $25,000 of a $35,000 aside from the initial fee of $1995 and haven't sent the balance because I asked for my money back about a dozen times for lack of services and all I get are empty promises. I look forward to hearing from you regarding thisunamerican act against a 75 year old veteran.
And this:
My name is Gwendolyn Anne Artman, last year I gave a Miami Beach, Florida company; 24K to patent and market a product. [...] My husband,who is a retired veteran allowed me to use our savings for a product we still believe will benefit this country, including globally.My fear of course, the have taken my money and never intended to file the patent.
Bless these people's hearts.
It's par for the course that the conman-in-chief would shoehorn a guy like Matt Whitaker, whose life as far as we can tell consists of lies, fraud, and MAYBE a burning need for one of those potties that won't play GOT YER NOSE with your extravagantly long penis and never give it back (but probably not), into the Justice Department as his personal thug. Hell -- AND WE'RE NOT BEING MEAN HERE -- but reading these customer complaints, we're going to hazard a wild guess that some of the people taken in by World Patent Marketing's scam were also taken in by Donald Trump's Make America Great Again scam.
They all prey on the same people, you know.

Wonkette is supported ONLY by YOU. Thank you for everything this year, and help us out only if you are able!
You didn't mention the "cripple discount". You said "it" angers you, that you work, and THEN you mentioned being disabled. Which is why I wondered what a senior discount had to do with being employed or not.
I agree that the ancient alien crap is exactly as insulting to the ancients as you say, but I must take issue with the time-and-abundant-labor notion as capable of explaining the things I have seen myself and the incredible works Chris writes about. Chris Dunn trained as a machinist ages ago in England, came to the US, and spent almost 50 years working in aerospace businesses, where exact precision to ten thousandths and even hundred thousandths of an inch are routinely achieved because they are are basic requirements of the Defense Department contracts. Chris states, from his own experience, that high precision is not achieved without several conditions being met: 1) there must be a reason for it, and the knowledge that it is achievable, 2) tools capable of achieving it must exist, and 3) instruments capable of measuring it must exist. When he ventured into one of the empty granite boxes in the Serapeum, he was able to determine that inside surfaces were flat to 2 ten thousandths of an inch because that was the tolerance of the straight edge gauge and the square that had been made for him in the shop back at his job. In sweeping the gauges along the surfaces with a flashlight shining on one side, he found no light escaping from under his gauges. He has found similar feats of sophisticated engineering in the temples, statues and pyramids. His view, and one that I and others share, is that ancient high cultures existed long before 10,000 years ago, which were capable of producing such precision works in megalithic stone, but which were obliterated by a cataclysm or series of cataclysms sometime around 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, leaving their enigmatic achievements around the world for us to ponder. One signature of their civilization was the ability to quarry, move and shape very hard stone in sizes from a few tons to hundreds of tons, and to fit them without mortar to space age precision. We can see that in downtown Cusco; at the massive walls of Sachsayhuaman; at Tiwanaku and Puma Punku; at Baalbeck, where the Romans built a temple upon a foundation containing stones of monstrous size, and where similarly huge stones were quarried nearby and being moved when the work was seemingly interrupted; at sites in Japan; in Italy; at Malta, Jerusalem and elsewhere around the globe, and the overwhelming impression that these cyclopean works leave us with is that the work was easy, was routinely industrial, and fast, not the labor of many generations of laborers picking at the rock with copper chisels, but of work assigned, engineered and carried out in the course of regular business. What our minds cannot grasp in the face of this is why? Why did the ancients choose to work in megalithic stone on such a scale? It obviously was well within their skill set, but the motivation remains a deep mystery.
