Jacob Wohl — right-wing conspiracy theorist, Trump enthusiast, securities fraudster — reportedly tried to raise $1 million this spring by pitching investors on an idea for profiting from the manipulation of political betting websites.

According to the Daily Beast, Wohl was attempting to raise money to fund the Arlington Center for Political Intelligence. The primary motive: make money.

“Backers will use ACPI’s insights in order to place profitable bets on political outcomes,” the pitch reads, adding a promise that the group would infiltrate 2020 Democratic campaigns and improve on social-media manipulation by Russian troll farms at the expense of the political left.

This kind of tactic is nothing new for Wohl, who’s notorious for botching such attempts. Last year, Wohl and Republican lobbyist Jack Burkman tried to smear Robert Mueller with false sexual-assault allegations. The same duo just last week were accused of trying to convince some gay Republicans to launch sexual-assault claims again Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg.

“It’s not going to throw us,” Buttigieg said. “Politics can be ugly sometimes, but you have to face that when you’re in presidential politics.”

As for the ACPI, Wohl denied any connection to the document, though the Daily Beast obtained an email sent from Wohl’s account making the pitch and spoke with an investor Wohl had asked to contribute tens of thousands of dollars.

“With a superior handle on American cultural nuances ACPI will be able to have a devastating impact on Democrat candidates,” the pitch promised.

Wohl’s father, David Wohl, has acted as a Trump campaign surrogate.
