Hey y'all, strap in. I got a brief thread to throw at you & it's a tough one. But it's important for me to get this story out, because I want to make sure no one goes through what I & others have gone through thanks to my former podcast partner, @jwadetaylor #MondayMotivation

1/ Last May I was approached by con man Jason Wade Taylor (@jwadetaylor), aka “Randy Hahn.” He skillfully appealed to my desire to find a radio audience again & used me as the “talent” so he could impress others with his skills as a “producer” & "activist". Nice mug shot RANDY

2/ He sent me equipment & said he had an agent who wanted to manage me too. Long story short, as this image of a response from that agent shows, it was all bullshit.

3/ I've learned that “Randy” has been pulling similar long-cons for years. Sometimes he’s a right-winger, sometimes left. But he’s always lying & always hurting people. I want to organize his other victims. He can't lie his way out of anything when we have our united front

4/ If @jwadetaylor doesn’t cease & desist these scams, we will put up a website that warns everyone about what he’s done to so many for so long. If you doubt me & he’s already in your life, reach out to any “real” person he claims to know & ask questions. But be careful

5/ @jwadetaylor's many stooges & accomplices on Twitter will back him up because they too were promised something he’ll never deliver. You’ll quickly get the point. I wish I had been smarter about the whole thing, because I could've saved myself a lot of trouble & time

6/ I want to apologize to @b52malmet, @Karoli , @catsrimportant, @osbornink, @jsigwart, @shoq, & anyone else who tried to warn me. I was hooked by his promises & believed him over you all. I hope I can prevent others from making the same mistake.

7/ If I blocked you when I was doing our show, please ask another follower to tell me & I will unblock. If you have details about this grifter @jwadetaylor that can help us, please DM me. And please share this thread so others won't have to go through what we have

8/ If you think you're smart enough to never get taken in by a con, think again. Even as I railed against Trump on our podcast, I was dealing with @jwadetaylor's Trumpian personality without even realizing it. He's that good at knowing what you want & exploiting it

9/ Thank you for reading & sharing this. My #MondayMotivation is simply to spare anyone else this experience & to apologize to those who tried to spare me
