A North Carolina Trump-supporting political action committee treasurer has been arrested and charged with a Ponzi scheme, the Daily Beast reported Monday. David Schamens is accused of duping 25 investors to the tune of $6.8 million to fund his vacations, luxury cars, and home.

The Justice Department release explained that the effort began in 2014 when he controlled several trading companies while promising a return rate of 12 to 30 percent. The complaint detailed that, in the case of one victim from Florida, Schamens didn't even invest the money he was given.

Instead, he "funneled the money through various successive transfers to accounts that he controlled and ultimately used the funds to: (a) finance SCHAMENS' lifestyle; (b) pay personal debts, including legal fees; (c) pay back prior victims in the manner of a Ponzi scheme; and (d) finance other expenditures unrelated to the investments made by Victim-1," the court documents detail.

She's responsible for everything since William the Conqueror defeated Harold II at the Battle of Hastings.

And yet she couldn’t “rig” the election enough to get elected Grand Empress for Life 🙄

These people don’t even live in the same world that we do. Unbelievable.

Nah, he was just doing prep work and research for his forthcoming book, 'Blaming Hillary.'

There is just no end with these people.
