    How Hunter Biden allegedly spent the money

    The indictment says the president's son allegedly spent his money on "drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes".

    His spending amounted to about $1m in 2016, $1.4m in 2017, $1.8m in 2018, and $600,000 in 2019, according to the charge sheet.

    Between 2016-19, he withdrew $1.6m from cash machines alone.

    In the same period he spent over $683,000 on "payments - various women", another $188,960 on "adult entertainment", $397,530 on clothing and accessories, and $237,496 on health, beauty and pharmacy, prosecutors say.

    They list many of the luxury hotels Hunter Biden stayed in during the years that he chose to not maintain a residence. Most were in Los Angeles, New York City and Washington DC.

    He used the hotels "for constant partying", prosecutors say.

    Other funds went to hire a Lamborghini, which he used after moving to the West Coast while waiting for his Porsche to be shipped to him.

    Payments included $1,500 to an exotic dancer at a strip club, $11,500 for an "escort" who was paid "to spend two nights with him", $27,316 in payments to an online pornography website and $10,000 "to purchase a membership in a sex club".

    He spent over 600K on prostitutes alone... It would have been cheaper to get married and divorced...

    It was funny that the sex club told him not to come back after 1 visit... apparently he was too creepy... Then he tried to write off the payment to said club.

    How he allegedly evaded taxes

    In order to avoid higher tax payments, prosecutors say that he claimed multiple personal expenses as business deductions.

    Luxury car rentals and hotels were claimed as business "travel, transportation and other", according to the indictment.

    He deducted academic tutoring for his daughter as "legal professional and consulting" and claimed payments to escorts and dancers as "office and miscellaneous".

    In 2018 he directed a personal aide to "place on payroll and provide healthcare benefits to three women with whom he had romantic or sexual relationships and a fourth woman who was related to one of those women".

    An Arkansas woman with whom he had a child was among those he hired.

    While in the throes of a crack cocaine addiction, he "claimed extensive business travel in 2018 when he had none".

    How prosecutors used his own words against him

    Prosecutors say Hunter Biden's memoir, Beautiful Things, explicitly lays out what the indictment alleges - that he did not have numerous business dealings in 2018 and was instead spending his money on months-long drug and alcohol binges.

    While working with California accountants in 2018, he claimed expenses, including $388,810 in business-related travel, despite writing in his book that the year was "dominated by crack cocaine use 'twenty-four hours a day, smoking every fifteen minutes, seven days a week'".

    Prosecutors say if the accountants had known about the drug use, they would have more closely scrutinised "his claims of hundreds of thousands of dollars in business expenses".

    From April 2018, and for the next few months, Hunter Biden surrounded himself with a crew of "thieves, junkies, petty dealers, over-the-hill strippers, con artists, and assorted hangers-on", he wrote in his memoir.

    The luxury hotels cited in the indictment correspond with the "very same hotels that the Defendant identified, by name, in his memoir as the locations of his monthslong drug and alcohol binge", court documents say.

    Hunter Biden recounts staying "at the Sunset Tower, Sixty Beverly Hills, and the Hollywood Roosevelt" and a list of other California hotels. He describes his entourage "flashing fake Rolexes" and bringing along "their stripper girlfriends".

    "They'd drink up the entire minibar, call room service for filet mignon and a bottle of Dom PĂ©rignon," reads part of the defendant's memoir, prosecutors note.

    They point out that the "defendant did not write that he conducted any business in any of these luxury hotels nor did he describe any of the individuals who visited him there as doing so for any business purpose".
    :Stop

    Hunter says the republicans are out to get him... NOT.... They are only doing so to wreck his father's presidency.... NOT... If hunter's last name wasn't Biden and he was not politically connected he would have been doing hard time years ago.

    Apparently they have left the door open to charge Joe's brother and other family members.

    Justice needs to dig deeper and look at the behavior of all kinds of political people and their wealth.

    Hunter's a victim...
