Key Takeaways

- West has been accused of being involved in a case of setting up a Ponzi Scheme.
Tony West Allegedly Involved In Embezzlement
Tony West was accused of misusing his position as the head of the Justice Department’s Civil Division. This has not been officially verified by any authoritative bodies.
The authorities have not commented on the matter, and the rumors are purely based on posts by netizens and online news channels.
According to Died Suddenly on X, he took advantage of the Treasury Department’s secret “Judgement Fund,” which is used for inflated settlements without Congressional oversight.
The Government Accountability Office had reportedly admitted to not having an idea about the flow of funds from the Judgement Fund in a year.
The X account also said that the statements were kept secret, and the attorney’s yearly income is also not disclosed.
The social media post also said that Donald Trump banned this fund during his presidency, but Biden legalized it after he was elected.
Further, West had been appointed the Judgment Fund’s authority since 2009.
The settlement funds, whatsoever, were never meant for personal benefits. He was rumored to have transferred the funds in the Judgement Fund to his friend’s organization.
Tony West And Judgement Fund Over The Years
Under West’s authority for the Judgement Fund, there have been several claims over the years.
New York Post had once admitted to West’s settlement being a “runaway train, driven by racial politics . . . and law firms that stand to gain more than $130 million in fees.”
Tony made the most significant fund settlement of 2010 for 91 Hispanic and female farmers who claimed illegal discrimination.
According to the New York Times, he also “engineered a stunning turnabout.”
Again, according to the post by Died Suddenly on X, The Obama and Clinton DOJ agreed on a settlement of $1.33 billion settlement, including thousands of Native American farmers.
Over $4.4 billion was paid out in the settlement, profiting the main attorney, Joseph M. Sellers, who was on the Obama/Biden transition team, with $60 million.
According to ongoing rumors, Tony West also arranged an array of questionable bank settlements with housing crisis victims.
The podcast channel also mentioned in their post the inclusion of illegal clauses in interesting banks’ agreements to provide over a billion dollars in required payments to Democratic-leaning activist groups.
The conservative property rights organizations were excluded.
There have also been claims that the DOJ has paid the FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page $2 million. This apparently took place after the anti-Trump texts by the agents.
While there is no solid proof for the same, a White House email mentioned the staff wanting to build a statue of West for them to bow down to every morning.
This came to light after the alleged revelation that each was getting paid $200k per day.
A furious X user said about the situation,
“For those of you who haven’t connected the dots and why they would kill before letting Trump in…

They are extorting us daily. We find their lavish lifestyles and they refuse to let the grift end.”
Another angry netizen added,
“The corruption is so deep, so thick that I would guess that 90% of the people who are working in DC should be in prison for life. That means, politicians, staff, interns, unelected bureaucrats, lobbyists, lawyers, judges, etc… ALMOST ALL CORRUPT OR BLACKMAILED.

We need to shut DC down, arrest them all, interrogate & investigate, release the 5 people who are not dirty & put the rest in prison for life. Leave DC as a Museum & build a new Capitol in Kansas or Oklahoma, dead center of the nation. Leave the corruption behind.”
A netizen wrote with much confidence after having claimed to have done 12 hours of extensive research and making several calls on the situation,
“In case some of you wanted to know why Kamala’s brother in law was off limits during the debate, he bilked billions of dollars from American Taxpayers and funded them to left leaning organizations under the understanding they would fund some of the money back when needed. He is also expected to be part of her administration, please see the attached article of the New York Post. No wonder she insisted no questions about him.”
