NEW: Gab's *own web host* tells @Hatewatch that CEO Andrew Torba is misleading the Federal Government in SEC filings and likely has just "a few thousand or a few tens of thousands" of users: splcenter.org/hatewatch/2019…
Torba blames his website's struggle to perform basic tasks on bots. He has insinuated the bots came from government workers or leftists.

His host suggests it's because he's sitting on investor money raised through @StartEngineLA and not spending it on Gab splcenter.org/hatewatch/2019…
Great reporting from John Dougherty and @Hatewatch.

@getongab's payment processor is run by Thomas Troyer, a felon convicted of financial crimes.

The dude apparently changed his ID at one point like some kind of D-grade version of Catch Me If you Can:

Megan (#FF, if we still do that here) brings up a great point. Gab users are giving their credit card deets to this felon at the same time they are downloading "Dissenter" ... some mysterious browser extension that comes from who knows where... 💸💸💸 😬
