Hunter Biden seems poised to make a profit off his infamous laptop by launching his own cryptocurrency
The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that Biden, the son of former president Joe Biden, was launching his own cryptocurrency.
Shortly after, Biden posted “$LAPTOP” with a date of September 9th on social media site X, along with a compilation video of outlets and Trump administration officials referring to the computer.
The story of the laptop started when Biden dropped it off at a computer repair shop in Delaware in April 2019. The FBI seized five months later.
The laptop apparently contained emails, documents, and financial records, along with explicit photos that appeared to show Biden with women in hotel rooms and doing drugs.
The laptop a talking point, especially in Trump-friendly media outlets, before the 2020 election.
Hunter Biden’s lawyers have said the files were manipulated.
Biden has been outspoken recently on social media, Substack and podcasts regarding his public grievances, including the controversial laptop.
“What they found was evidence of a man who suffered for a period of time from a severe addiction to crack cocaine and alcohol,” Biden wrote in a post on X in June.
