The founder of Facebook Fake News curator Snopes spent $98,000 in company funds on prostitutes according to his ex-wife.

(WASHINGTON, DC) The founder of mythbusting website Snopes, which was recently tapped by Facebook as one of four “fact-check” organizations patrolling the site for “fake news,” embezzled $98,000 in company funds before spending it on “himself and the prostitutes he hired,” according to legal documents filed by his ex-wife reviewed by the Daily Mail.

After divorcing from his first wife, Barbara Mikkelson, David Mikkelson married Elyssa Young, a former porn star and current escort who now works for Snopes as an administrator, according to the Daily Mail.

He's accused of this but it's pretty bad and will end Snopes' claim to credibility if there is anything to this.

Elyssa Young appears to be a very very low rent porn star and whore.



Seems about right for one of the most discredited "Fact Checkers" around.

Snoops is not a fact checker they are nothing more than a tool for the left....

If that is a porn star the industry is in bad trouble....

And?

What's the connection here?

How does the founder hiring prostitutes affect the fact-checkers and their work?

This is diversionary agit-prop.

It's a fool that looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart.


However, having said that, this would be more like my style, should I decide to partake of that sort of thing.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Yeah, their credibility is questionable but one thing has nothing to do with the other.

After all we have a president elect who has very likely hired high priced hookers himself.

Ever hear of gaining leverage on someone? Information like this, before it came out in court docs, would certainly persuade someone to see your point of view on a fact.

Sounds to me like the work of Roger Stone. Particularly the sex scandal accusations.

Stone is a true Alinskyite. He's a sexual deviant who accuses others of all manners of sexual adventurism.

Those with no standards of their own make the best Alinskyite accusers

And some posters who consistently make up lies and expect others to believe their idiocy.   

As we can see, spreading conspiracy theories and chasing unicorns is not limited to DU anymore.

The dems, Hillary, lost a constitutionally correct election and Trump is going to be our next president.  Get over it, get used to it, and get on with life as a real grown up adult.
