Really? All that money and they didn't benefit? That's unbelievable.
How the money is being hidden, I'm not sure, but there is an active investigation going on about the information on his laptop.
So we'll have to wait until the investigation is complete to find out.

That is what he’s saying.
This happened in June. I did not even notice at the time, did you know?

Yeah, well that's only the several hundredth time he's lied. Joe Biden lied too... that he didn't discuss Hunter's business dealings, but there are now E-mails and pictures of him with Hunter's business partners.
That article came out quite a while back...
I think that Nike was discovered to be manufacturing their shoes in the Uyghur factories and that proposal came out right before or after the Nike ordeal hit the news.

There is a lot going on that we don’t know about because it’s never reported or it’s intentionally not discussed anywhere that reporters would hear about it.

An attempt to dumb down the public so that they can more easily pull the stupid stunts they do in Congress. And that's on both sides of the isle, but the majority of the stunts are from the Democrat party.
Here's another one about Hunter...
Emails: Hunter Biden Is ‘True Sheikh of Washington’
Hunter Biden was reportedly praised as the “True sheikh of Washington” by former British SAS officer James Gilliar, who had a close connection to one of the largest energy companies in the world that allied closely with the Chinese Communist Party, emails from Hunter’s “laptop from hell” revealed.
Gilliar’s high praise highlights Hunter’s notoriety as a power-broker between top figures in Washington and foreign clients seeking access to U.S. decision-making, while his father, Joe Biden, was vice president.
According to Miranda Devine’s new book, Laptop from Hell, Hunter was praised by Gilliar to a person named Rob Walker, a Biden and Clinton family connection.
“Hunter was great,” Gilliar noted to Walker. “True sheikh of Washington.”
Walker had reportedly organized a meeting between Gilliar and Hunter. The meeting took place because Gilliar was looking for a partner with whom to conduct business deals around the globe.
The business deal Gilliar had in mind for Hunter involved Ye Jianming, the chairman of a Chinese energy company CEFC, one of the largest in the world. Ye was a desired contact for Hunter because Ye managed a $1.5 billion fund to expand China’s economic influence throughout the world at the behest of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
After Gilliar emailed Walker to confirm his favorable business meeting with Hunter, Gilliar followed up with Hunter a few weeks later to communicate that Ye was interested in working with Hunter.
“It has been made clear to me that CEFC wish to engage in further business relations with our group,” Gilliar wrote to Hunter, emails show.
Reports indicate that Ye and Hunter met in Washington, DC, in December of 2015 to discuss how Yi and Hunter might work together. Vice President Joe Biden is alleged by Devine to have attended one of a few meetings between the two.
As talks matured, Hunter and Joe Biden’s brother, Jim Biden, wanted to structure the business deal with Ye in a favorable way. To that end, Gilliar recommended bringing Tony Bobulinski into the scheme to advance the opportunity.
In 2017, Gilliar revealed to Bobulinski the $100 million business deal would be between the Biden family and Chinese investors.
It is noteworthy that Bobulinski was accused in 2020 by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) of being part of a “Russian disinformation” effort, that was later debunked as his claims were confirmed. After being unfairly maligned, Bobulinski divulged before the 2020 presidential election that “he was the recipient of one of Hunter Biden’s emails linked to investment with a Chinese energy company,” Breitbart News reported.
Hunter, Gilliar, and Walker in February of 2017 met Ye in Miami to continue negotiating the deal. The meeting yielded a successful outcome for Hunter.
Hunter reportedly scored a lucrative deal with Ye in which he would receive $10 million for at least three years. In return, Hunter would simply make introductions for Ye.
“Ye sealed the new alliance with a rich gift — a 3.16-carat diamond worth $80,000. Photographs of the stunning stone appear on Hunter’s laptop along with a grading report that lists it as a ’round brilliant’ of Grade F with prime ‘VS2’ clarity and ‘excellent’ cut,” Devine’s book says.
Nine days after the meeting between Hunter and Ye, Hunter was reportedly wired two separate payments of $3 million. Both wire transfers were flagged by the Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement network as suspicious.
The transactions were followed by negotiations between Hunter, Gilliar, and Bobulinski. The two reportedly needed Bobulinski because he had a working knowledge of American investment vehicles that Hunter and Gilliar sought to facilitate their scheme. Hunter and Gilliar likely did not have the financial expertise to conduct th

Hunter Biden's ex-girlfriend told a grand jury she was instructed by the president's son to withdraw thousands of dollars from ATMs and the two partied at lavish hotels from coast to coast while Hunter was in the throes of drug addiction.
Zoe Kestan, 28, who goes by the social media handle weed_slut_420, testified for five hours at a federal courthouse in Joe Biden's home state of Delaware last Tuesday morning in the investigation focused on the president's son for alleged tax crimes.
Kestan - a garment, lingerie and textile designer - faced a range of questions over what Hunter Biden was doing during his time with her and what his spending habits were like in 2018, when he admitted to learning to cook crack at the infamous Chateau Marmont in Beverly Hills.
The pair had been seen going to the openings of art shows and were regularly spotted at parties together in Manhattan.
Kestan told the grand jury she was instructed by Biden to take out 'thousands of dollars at a time' from cash machines.
In her testimony, Kestan reeled off a list of pricey five-star New York City hotels, including the Soho Grand and Four Seasons, where she had stayed with Biden, reports the New York Post.
She also detailed their West Coast hotels, which included celebrity hot spot Chateau Marmont, where the pair stayed together for a month.

The DOJ's is conducting a secretive three-year probe into Hunter's murky financial affairs and business with China
In his memoir Beautiful Things, released last year, Hunter reveals how he was banned from the legendary celebrity hangout because of 'drug use.'
The money she took out at ATMs was used to buy clothes and food, but she explained she did not know how he came to have the funds, reports the Post.
Kestan joined a growing list of former business partners and associates who have been subpoenaed to give evidence in the Department of Justice's secretive three-year probe into Hunter's murky financial affairs.
Federal agents went directly to Kestan's New York City apartment where they served her with a subpoena to testify at the grand jury after her name came up during the broad investigation.
She appeared directly after Hunter Biden's baby mama, Lunden Roberts, 30, sat for the grand jury.
As well as having a three-year-old daughter with the president's son, who he refuses to publicly acknowledge, Roberts spent more than a year working in a junior position at his investment firm, Rosemont Seneca.

The investigation is far and wide and they are still finalizing the final pieces of the puzzle.
It's not just Hunter, it's his brother and father and perhaps even dead Beau's wife along with several other players.
This is just one part of the whole story:

Those texts at the end sound deranged. If Devon Archer does time, Hunter may. If he walks with a minor punishment, Hunter won’t likely go to jail for anything.
