Hunter Biden raked in $11 million between 2013 and 2018 and was spending $200k/month of a lavish and illicit life style
A new analysis of Hunter Biden’s laptop’s hard drive shows that he earned $11 million in a five year span, between 2013 and 2018, between his suspect work as a board member of the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma and his dealings with a Chinese businessman accused of fraud.
The younger Biden was making an excessive amount of money off of Burisma, yet never seemed to pay his taxes with it.
From the Daily Mail:
In his memoir Beautiful Things, Hunter admits that the Burisma money bankrolled his bad habits. He writes the extra cash ‘turned into a major enabler during my steepest skid into addiction’ and ‘hounded me to spend recklessly, dangerously, destructively. Humiliatingly. So I did.’
According to a report last week Hunter Biden hired Hollywood attorney Kevin Morris to help him pay off a $2 million tax bill — more than double what was previously reported — as he’s being investigated for tax fraud by a Delaware grand jury.
The investigation into Hunter Biden’s taxes began when his father was still serving as Vice President during the Obama administration.
But in 2018 the inquiry was opened up to include potential tax fraud, money laundering and violations of lobbying laws, after it transpired the 52-year-old may have used political leverage to influence business deals.
Hunter had not paid taxes for so many years, despite his lavish earnings, that a former Justice Department Official, Chuck Rosenberg, says paying them could be seen as an admission of guilt at this point.
Instead of paying his taxes, he was pending $200k a month on lavish hotel rooms, prostitutes, illicit drugs, and who knows what else–more than he was making, by the way.
Taxes and Ukrainian ties aside, Hunter Biden also raked in $6 million through China–including $1 million through an associate later imprisoned for bribery.
The biggest question, of course, is how and why was Hunter Biden working for a Ukrainian Energy Firm, and with a Chinese energy firm as well, with no field experience. This question naturally leads one to suspect corruption and perhaps even national security risks as his father is desperate to send aid to the now war-torn nation of Ukraine. It also leads one to question how Joe Biden can be tough and pragmatic in situations with nations such as Ukraine and China when his son is so deeply in bed with them.
