Gaetz Venmo records leak: gave money to indicted trafficker, who transferred it to 3 girls

in May 2018, Rep. Matt Gaetz sent his friend, the accused sex trafficker Joel Greenberg, $900. The next morning, over the course of eight minutes, Greenberg used the same app to send three young women varying sums of money. In total, the transactions amounted to $900.
The memo field for the first of Gaetz’s transactions to Greenberg was titled “Test.” In the second, the Florida GOP congressman wrote “hit up ___.” But instead of a blank, Gaetz wrote a nickname for one of the recipients. (The Daily Beast is not sharing that nickname because the teenager had only turned 18 less than six months before.) When Greenberg then made his Venmo payments to these three young women, he described the money as being for “Tuition,” “School,” and “School.”
“No one has any idea what he was doing. Zero,” said Daniel J. O'Keefe, an accountant who conducted a forensic audit for the county. “The arrogance of these guys. They just felt they were above the law. I've never seen it this bad.”
O’Keefe was particularly puzzled by weekend expenses, hotels, unspecified high-dollar “consulting” fees, and cash advances that Greenberg made to himself and others. The Daily Beast has compared Greenberg’s credit card statements and Venmo transactions to Gaetz’s expenses and travel records—compiled through campaign finance reports, Instagram posts, and Venmo—and found that, in some key places, the two timelines and circles of contact overlap.
Gaetz and Greenberg share Venmo connections with at least two women who received payments from Greenberg, and both have professional relationships with each other.
In 2018, Greenberg also paid another woman, a mutual friend of Gaetz's, several thousand dollars using his taxpayer-backed Seminole County-issued Wells Fargo Visa card, according to county financial records obtained by The Daily Beast. Auditors flagged the transactions, saying that, despite having a contract and invoice from the company, they “do not know what it was for.”

So the girl was 18. That’s not a minor. Look if Gaetz is paying for sex and that’s illegal, fine throw the book at him. It’s stupid but it’s the law and he should know better. But minors are minors. Adults are adults.

By "they", I assume you mean the media. Truly amazing, isn't it?

There's nothing wrong with helping a young woman with her tution.

So Greenberg is doing these payments, and now under indictment starts trying to plea...Are the girls saying anything? Sounds petty

If he is a POS then he needs to go down. I have no problem with that. But don’t pretend that Hunter wasn’t completely ignored solely for the sake of the 2020 election.

All of that reads like a bunch of nothing. Seriously, $900 total to 3 people is nothing.

Even if it's true that he gave a total of $900 to a guy who then gave that money to 3 girls...so what? What is that supposed to mean to me?
ETA: This doesn't even say they were underage. This is starting to feel like the Roy Moore scam.

Venmoing prostitutes as a congressman is pretty fricking stupid.
That said, who the hell cares if this is all it is? Dems bout to have to pretend to care about this type of shite.

Exactly.
I don't care for anyone engaged in this sort of shite, but it's damned disingenuous for the media to be full court press on this and be the three monkeys when it comes to Hunter Biden.

Yah it’s so cheap that it really might be innocent.
