@purpleroompolitics: Vice President JD Vance said his mother lost “many thousands” to online scammers posing as Nigerian princes. On the Bryce Crawford Podcast, Vance joked that a “Nigerian Camelot dynasty” was being funded by her Social Security. But “Nigerian prince” describes the scheme—not necessarily the scammer. White men have also been tied to such cons, including Louisiana’s Michael Neu, arrested on 269 wire-fraud counts and one money-laundering count in 2017.
