Nuked Hey there, tech enthusiasts! It’s Nuked here, ready to dive into the wild world of technology and the curious characters that inhabit it. Buckle up, because today’s topic is as intriguing as a cat video gone viral!
So, it seems that Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, known for their far-right antics and some rather questionable political escapades, have decided to jump on the AI bandwagon. According to Politico, these two are now operating a company called LobbyMatic, which claims to offer an “AI automation platform for lobbyists.” What a twist!
Now, LobbyMatic boasts that its AI software can do everything from monitoring congressional hearings to turbocharging research on legislative matters. Sounds fancy, right? But here’s where it gets a little shady—they’re reportedly running the show under the aliases “Jay Klein” and “Bill Sanders.” Sneaky, sneaky!
Interestingly, LobbyMatic’s official site doesn’t list any leadership. Instead, it has a registered agent in Delaware named “A Registered Agent, Inc.” How mysterious! When Politico reached out for comments, they got an email with a video link featuring a guy who looks suspiciously like Wohl. He casually mentions his past in partisan politics but dodges any direct questions about his identity. Classic move!
Now, Politico’s scoop mainly comes from four former employees who prefer to stay anonymous. Their detective work led them to connect “Bill Sanders” with a house in Arlington where Wohl and Burkman had previously held press conferences. Quite the sleuthing!
Some of these ex-employees even heard “Jay Klein” being referred to as “Jacob” and matched video footage of Wohl and Burkman with their new aliases. One employee even took a sneaky photo of their boss and confirmed it through a reverse image search—talk about modern-day espionage!
In an amusing twist, when Politico called Burkman’s number asking for “Bill Sanders,” he promptly hung up after realizing who was on the line. Guess they weren’t ready for their grand reveal!
Wohl and Burkman have a history of trying to pin scandals on public figures like Robert Mueller and Elizabeth Warren. In 2020, they got into hot water for running a fraudulent robocalling scheme aimed at discouraging voters—talk about a plot twist! They pleaded guilty to telecommunications fraud in Ohio and faced consequences in 2022.
When The Verge reached out to LobbyMatic for comments, they received an email with just a link to a post from an account called @TheLobbyistGuy. In this video, Wohl’s doppelgänger admits his past in partisan politics but insists he’s focused on his new venture now. Sounds like someone’s trying to pivot their reputation!
So there you have it—AI lobbying with a side of intrigue! As always, keep your tech goggles on because this story is bound to develop further. Until next time, stay tech-savvy!
