Meet the real Bannon:

Bannon was arrested with 3 others, all involved in the Wall scam.

One of the "others" is a guy names Andrew Badolato.( Interesting name...a lot of bad indeed)
Badoloto and Bannon have been running many schemes since 2003.

It all has to do with Sarasota, Fl.

Badolato’s past includes:


* numerous lawsuits,
*substantial monetary judgments and sizeable Internal Revenue Service liens filed against him;
*business dealings with convicted felons for stock-related fraud;
*an extortion attempt after he borrowed money from a self-described mobster that led to him wearing a wire for he FBI;
*an association with a Costa Rican offshore firm that was called a “money laundering hub” by the Justice Department;
*and sexual assault allegations made by three women over a period of four years.

Bannon and Badolato have been in at least three failed penny-stock ventures together, and Bannon was once removed from a Sarasota County company’s board for his relationship with Badolato.
In 2010, Badolato formed a company listing Bannon as a board member alongside an attorney named L.B. Moon, who was barred from practicing law by the Oklahoma Supreme Court for threatening to kill an adversary, place his body in a shredder and have his daughter raped.

Much detail in this article, I urge folks to read it, and esp. the links therein to 2 other articles about them.


My favorite part in the above article is:

Oklahoma attorney Lewis B. Moon — a former football player for the Miami Dolphins whom Badolato claimed was a “lifetime member of the national association of the Boy Scouts.”
Moon has been arrested multiple times and was banned from practicing law by the Oklahoma Supreme Court, which called him an “embarrassment to the legal profession” after finding “convincing evidence” that he falsely identified himself as an ATF agent, engaged in shooting firearms while intoxicated, attempted to extort money and assaulted a fellow lawyer. He then threatened to kill the lawyer and have five men rape and kill his “pretty” daughter.

It's no wonder that so many of the rabble fall for Amway, Herbalife, and other egregious money-sucking bullshit like "trickle down economics".

At 6:12 p.m., on July 22, 2013, Barquin sent an email to a person in the media industry Bannon was associated with stating “Badolato records all of his phone calls with a Sony m-572-v micro tape player and has his office wired with a GSM micro room device with separate Sim card insertion for remote listening.

“He has been recording Bannon and other associates/individuals/conservative groups etc. etc. for years without there (sic) knowledge.”
