He Lost His Driver's License And $1 Million!

Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman lose bigly.

The winners and losers of 2024.

The far right troll Jacob Wohl lost his driver license three years ago. He is forbidden from operating a vehicle. Now he is going to be working for a long freaking time to pay back the state of New York. His actions now have consequences. On top of that, he has many other problems in other states.

His attempts at "owning the libs" and making President Joe Biden, the "Uncle Pedo" backfired bigly.

What makes this so interesting, these two idiots could get some federal time out thanks to their antics.

New York Attorney General Letitia James reached a settlement with Wohl and Jack Burkman for their robocall scheme that sought to discourage Black Americans from voting during the 2020 election. In their out-of-court settlement, Wohl and Burkman were ordered to pay “up to $1.25 million.”

Wohl and Burkman were found liable by U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero in March 2023 for “targeting Black voters and transmitting false and threatening messages intended to discourage voting.”

Wohl and Burkman are allegedly responsible for conducting a robocall operation that took place in several other states including Michigan and Ohio, where the duo also faced criminal charges. The calls targeted Black constituencies and falsely claimed that voting by mail would put their personal data at risk. It was not hard to connect Wohl and Burkman with the calls since they were mentioned by name in them. Those calls reached about 85,000 people according to Marrero’s ruling back in October 2020.

In a statement James released on Tuesday, she said:

"The right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy, and it belongs to everyone. We will not allow anyone to threaten that right. Wohl and Burkman orchestrated a depraved and disinformation-ridden campaign to intimidate Black voters in an attempt to sway the election in favor of their preferred candidate. Now they will pay up to $1.25 million to my office, the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, and the individuals who were harmed by their scheme. My office will always defend the right to vote."

Wohl and Burkman have been responsible for multiple unsuccessful plots to frame public figures for fictitious sexual assaults. The pair were allegedly behind plots in October 2018 against U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller, in April 2019 against 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, and in April 2020 against White House Coronavirus Task Force member Anthony Fauci.

The settlement also requires Wohl and Burkman to notify the attorney general’s office before any lobbying or political campaigning in New York, and they will have to submit a copy of any future election-related, mass communication efforts to the plaintiff for review 30 days before the messaging reaches the public.

The men have previously staged hoaxes and spread false accusations against Democrats and other government officials.

The Associated Press reported in 2019 that the pair recruited a college student to falsely claim he was raped by then-Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg. Wohl denied the accusation and Burkman said he thought the student’s initial account of the alleged assault was true.
