      If there’s something that Andrew from channel 5 understands it’s doing stuff without consent

      He’s been doing a full-scale media push recently; I keep seeing clips of him being interviewed on a ton of platforms.

      If it turns out the end goal has been a crypto scam, Hunter will absolutely secure his place in the pantheon of presidential failsons (failchildren?). Godspeed, Hunter.

    I wonder if this included all the people who donated money to get Andrew Callaghan out of immediate legal hot water with Bill Joiner after his Dear Kelly film. And that’s after he got in trouble in 2023 for sexual misconduct.

    I’ll admit that he and his team are doing fascinating work. It’s certainly some form of journalism and not purely entertainment. But it’s also clear that his organization has absolutely no adults in the room giving them strategic advice.

    Update: 404 Media just published an article on this: https://www.404media.co/channel-5-gave-hunter-biden-a-list-of-its-subscribers-emails-for-some-reason/

      No I have no crack head crypto email in my inbox. I’m not sure if gofundme gives emails out like that.

      I like c5. The issue people bring up about him may or may not be true but his work is important so that’s that for me.

          She had been out one night in the Spring of 2017 when she ran into him outside The Boot. She said he approached her and asked her if they could go elsewhere to hang out alone. She said “sure,” but added that she needed to go up to her nearby dorm room to get something. She said that Callaghan followed her to her dorm. When she told him to wait outside, she said he insisted on coming upstairs. Then, she said, he cornered her in her room. That move caught her off guard, as she hadn’t actually intended to invite Callaghan upstairs.

          When she asked Callagahn to leave, she said he refused. She then asked him to close his eyes while she changed her clothes, but then he grabbed her and began having sex with her, she said.

          She said she told him to stop, as he was causing her pain from a previous injury–she had broken her back in 2013. Emma showed The Stranger a 2021 email exchange with her doctor, wherein she discussed this back injury and a subsequent MRI test she took over concerns that she had reinjured herself. When she alleges she was being assaulted by Callaghan, the pain from this past injury felt like “tearing a muscle,” she said.

          She said she remembers crying and telling him, “You can’t do that, this hurts,” due to back and hip pain from her injury, but “he just told me to shut up.” She claimed she said ‘No’ “at least three times,” and in response Callaghan covered her mouth “at least once” but otherwise ignored her.

          “I wasn’t a person in that moment. It was beyond being objectified. It was like I did not exist. It felt as if he was looking right through me,” she said.

          There’s multiple allegations of sexual assault and rape against him.

      you got played by a crack head ya morons.

      Played how exactly? He’s a crackhead who admits he’s a crackhead. It’s not like we elected him president.

      And sadly, the bar for eloquence is much lower than it used to be. But he talks good for a crackhead.

      I kinda thought he was going to run for office with how he’s been hitting the podcast circuit lately. I’m not surprised by him trying to grift with a crypto coin.

      It’s appalling that Channel 5 handed over their email list like that though.

        There’s most definitely a very hard push to revamp Hunter Biden’s image and eventually push him as a politician. Why would the guy appear on every podcast under the sun if he doesn’t have political ambitions? It’s such an obvious OP.

    This is pretty much exactly why I use Port87. Instant block for the Channel 5 label.

        Yes and no. It essentially does the same thing, but makes it easier. You don’t have to set up anything beforehand. You use subaddressing by default, so you can give out an address like degen-channel5@port87.com, and it creates the “channel5” label for you when it gets an email addressed to it. It has per-label controls, so if you just don’t care about those emails, you can have them not send notifications and mark them as read.

        I think anonaddy lets you use ad-hoc addresses like that too, but you can’t set it to mark them as read and no notifications, since anonaddy isn’t the actual email service.

          I personally prefer addresses that don’t share any identifying information with each other, since those are easier to correlate. E.g. degen-channel5 and degen-baddragon could easily be correlated by somebody who happens to have both lists side by side, and based on the service, guess how to spam you in new and creative ways

          My ideal setup is [random_characters]@[service], where there is zero correlation besides the fact I use the service to begin with. It doesn’t look like port87 offers that, which is a real shame

            Yeah, that’s true. It’s on purpose:

            Many services block addresses from anonymous email services, so we’ve made the conscious decision to not provide anonymous addresses on the port87.com domain. We do understand the value of maintaining your privacy through anonymous addresses, though, so we do not block anonymizing services, and we encourage you to use them with Port87 to enhance your online privacy.

            - https://port87.help/#support-for-anonymized-email-services

            If you have your own domain, Port87 supports that though. So you can use that without a shared username between your addresses. Basically the same concept as a catch-all through the other services you mentioned.

              I find that having my own domain would just create the same problem all over again plus a couple more (read: registering for and maintaining that domain, especially while trying to do that privately)… I appreciate the clarification though, the fact they give you a free account in conjunction with a forwarding service of my choice is thoughtful at least.

              Still a feature I can pay for and have paid for, if they ever felt like expanding the domains they provided.
