Right-wing personality Jacob Wohl appears to have faked death threats against himself.

Wohl and fellow provocateur Laura Loomer went to Minneapolis last month to “investigate” whether their quest to prove that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) married her own brother—a charge based on flimsy blog comments that has been disproven.

Wohl’s videos to his fans were premised on the idea that Minneapolis is an incredibly dangerous place, and often featured him wearing a bulletproof vest. At one point in a new video about their trip, Wohl goes to a Minneapolis police station to report death threats he says he and his team have received since being in the city.

One of those threats came via direct message from a Twitter account called @Drakehomes612, who described himself as a Minneapolis “diversity coordinator.”

“I hope you ****in know that if [I] bump into you in Dinkytown or anywhere else in my city I’m going shoot you and shit on your ****ing bodies,” the account wrote to Wohl’s team. “Get that **** out my city you piece of shit. Now.”

As journalist Tony Webster first reported, though, @Drakehomes612 isn’t real. Instead, he’s one of the fake accounts Wohl created in the run-up to his Twitter ban. A source familiar with Wohl’s fake accounts confirmed to me that @Drakehomes612 was run by Wohl before being deleted by Twitter. That means Wohl was sending himself fake death threats, presumably in an attempt to up the drama during his Minneapolis videos.

This is the same guy that made up a bunch of crap quite a few times. He's a known fraudster and his shenanigans have been posted about before on KMC.

He just plead not guilty too. So he's too stupid to even try to get a plea deal it seems.

In the fetid swamp of far-right politics, two names are infamous for having unleashed a torrent of particularly ludicrous stunts, lies, and scams. Now, one of the pair's targets is fighting back. A Marine veteran and attorney claims his life fell apart after Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl falsely tarred him in a 2021 video as a child sex predator, according to an $11 million racketeering lawsuit.

In the aftermath, the unidentified Maryland man was let go from his law firm, lost a paid internship at Johns Hopkins University, was thrown out by his landlord, and forced him into bankruptcy, the lawsuit states. "John Doe" contends in the suit that Wohl and his co-defendant, soon-to-be-disbarred lawyer Jack Burkman, caused "irreparable harm" by laying waste to his reputation, wrecking his ability to earn a living, and turning him into a "critical casualty" of their "ongoing, illegal scheme."

Burkman and Wohl pleaded guilty in October 2022 to telecommunications fraud after using robocalls to intimidate people from voting by mail during the 2020 U.S. presidential election. They were sentenced to two years of probation; fined each $2,500; and work 500 hours of community service. The U.S. Federal Communications Commissions in June 2023 hit Burkman and Wohl with a $5.1 million fine for making more than 1,100 unlawful robocalls in August and September 2020. In addition to these charges, Burkman and Wohl are awaiting a ruling on multiple felony charges in Michigan.

According to the suit, Burkman and Wohl lured the plaintiff to a DC apartment as part of their "Predator DC" web series, and falsely accused him of seeking to meet up with a teenage girl.

But in fact, the woman posing as his Tinder match "Sarah" had stated that she was 36 years old. The plaintiff says that upon his arrival, he was surrounded by five men, including Burkman and Wohl, who prevented him from leaving at gunpoint.

The now-deleted "Predator DC" episode accused the plaintiff of being a "disgusting pedophile."

This is nothing new for Burkman and Wohl. In 2016, the pair hired actors to falsely accuse Pete Buttigieg and Robert Mueller of sexual offenses.

Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman have agreed to pay $1 million to the New York attorney general's office and others for running a voter suppression campaign targeting black voters during the 2020 election.

The deal announced Tuesday by state Attorney General Letitia James represents the latest punishment the pair will face for orchestrating a broad voter suppression campaign four years ago that used robocalls to spread election-related misinformation to black voters and others in an effort to discourage voting.

A federal judge found the two men liable last year for targeting black voters in New York, saying in a lengthy ruling that they "set into motion a full-scale voter suppression operation during the summer of 2020 to discourage eligible voters from voting by targeting mail-in voting in the 2020 Election."

If Wohl and Burkman fail to make an initial payment of $105,000 by the end of the year, the fine rises to $1.25 million. Criminal felony charges against both men remain pending in Michigan.

In February 2024, they were hit with a separate $11 million racketeering lawsuit brought by a Maryland man they falsely accused of being a child predator.

In June 2023, the FCC hit Wohl and Burkman with a $5.1 million fine for making more than 1,100 unlawful robocalls in August and September 2020.

And during the 2016 campaign Wohl and Burkman hired actors to falsely accuse Robert Mueller and multiple prominent Democrats such as Pete Buttigeig of various sexual offenses.
