After our story the other day about two far-right conspiracy theorists and convicted felons who were running an offensive cybersecurity company called IRIS C2, many readers asked how exactly these clowns Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman are making money?

Burkman has a consulting firm that has been sought out by a number of criminals who are seeking pardons from the POTUS. Yesterday, metro.co.uk ran a story saying an American rapper who goes by the name "Boosie Badazz" is suing Burkman and Wohl after paying $600,000 for a presidential pardon from Donald Trump that never materialized.

"Boosie, 43, whose real name is Torence Hatch, faced sentencing for possessing a firearm as a felon and hoped that a presidential pardon would wipe his criminal record clean.

"He allegedly sought the help of two far-right political operatives and lobbyists at JM Burkman & Associates, who allegedly claimed they had strong connections within Trump’s inner circle."

This tracks with a March 31 story from journalist @molly0xfff which reported that Burkman and Wohl were paid a $300,000 retainer by a Canadian cryptocurrency fraudster wanted by the United States and several other countries for allegedly stealing $65 million from the crypto platforms KyberSwap and Indexed Finance. According to that report, the two were hired to pursue a “presidential pardon to avert a miscarriage of justice” on behalf of the accused hacker, who has not yet been convicted.
