@bgetsbetter Yea Charlie mentioned Julie on this episode here, it may have been others too youtu.be/Z5iofdw9Fko?is…

@sneako @Parodyjeffx Elon is 100x smarter than you my friend. This would be halarious because Elon has 35M followers world wide and you would lose this poll. @elonmusk take him up on this one. Hahaha 😂 sometimes they bite off more than they can chew.

Let's expose the fraud playbook TPUSA's structure follows, one person at a time. First up, Tyler Bowyer. Fraud within organizations, especially when dealing with executives, is more often than not, structural. The goal isn't to steal a lump sum, it's to build a system where money moves constantly among related entities so that no single document ever shows the whole picture, insider pay is relabeled as arm's-length business expense, and the ultimate recipient is hidden behind a layer. You don't write yourself a check. You'd design exactly what I have been seeing across all TPUSA entities. Here's what Tyler Bowyer's playbook looks like: 1. On his own charity's return, Bowyer is the Chief Operating Officer AND its #1 outside “vendor”. $288,255 for “COO SERVICES,” invoiced from his house. WHY BAD ACTORS DO EXACTLY THIS: a salary gets audited and a vendor invoice doesn't. Executive pay triggers board sign-off, comparability studies, reasonableness tests, an excise tax. A “purchased service” melts into the expense pile. So you stop being an employee getting paid and start being a company getting hired by yourself. Billing it from your house is the tell: there's no firm on the other end. It's you, writing invoices to a charity you run.... 2. His pay is split across three entities. $288K from the charity, $88K from the political arm, $0 from TPUSA. Total: ~$376K. WHY BAD ACTORS DO EXACTLY THIS: everyone who might catch you pulls one filing at a time. Put the whole number on one return and it draws the excess-comp tax and the headline. Slice it across three affiliates and each piece looks modest. You're not hiding the money, you're hiding the total, and betting nobody cross-references three separate 990s. They usually don't, which is why it's one of the first things I do. 3. His public role is politics, he's COO of Turning Point Action, the (c)(4) political arm. Yet the tax-deductible (c)(3) charity pays him roughly three times what the political arm does. WHY BAD ACTORS DO EXACTLY THIS: charity money is the cheapest money in the building. It's tax-deductible, so it's easier to raise and comes in bigger amounts. If a person's real work is political and you load that salary onto the charity, you're paying for work the charity is legally barred from doing, with subsidized dollars, and the donors wrote off politics on their taxes without knowing it. You push every cost onto the entity with the cheapest money and the least scrutiny for that line. Whether this split reflects real charitable work or a misallocation is exactly what an audit would settle, and it's the first thing I'd pull his time records for. 4. The charity paying him takes 100% of its money as grants from TPUSA, spends nearly all of it, and holds nothing. In its 2023 return it booked $3.7 million in salaries against zero employees on its federal wage form. The next year it reported 124. WHY BAD ACTORS DO EXACTLY THIS: a satellite entity is a second set of books you fully control. Money leaves the closely-watched flagship as a "grant", which looks charitable, lands in a smaller entity nobody audits hard, and gets spent there on payroll and insiders with a fraction of the oversight. And millions in salaries booked against zero reported employees is the classic ghost-employee signature, wages to people who may not exist, or to insiders dressed as staff. Maybe 2023 was a filing error. That's the innocent read. But a swing from zero to 124 is the exact anomaly a forensic examiner reconciles first, because it's also how payroll fraud hides. 5. Within a few months of Charlie Kirk's assassination, as control of a nine-figure network changed hands, Tyler Bowyer opened five companies all within 54 days of one another. Four are anonymous Wyoming LLCs using one Cheyenne "mailbox". One is named “Vote LLC.” One is “Tyler Bowyer Inc.,” at the same address he already invoices the charity from. WHY BAD ACTORS DO EXACTLY THIS: the entire purpose of an anonymous LLC is that no one can prove YOU got paid. Send money to “Victory Advisors LLC” and the trail dead-ends at a mail drop. Stand up a personal corporation at your billing address and your fees now flow through a company with one more wall between the cash and your name. And you build the pipes before the money moves, right when the org is in transition and everyone's looking at the funeral instead of the filings. 6. He co-owns Resolute Media, run out of a building on the charity's campus, and chairs Superfeed, the for-profit the movement pays, with Erika Kirk's own mother on the board. WHY BAD ACTORS DO EXACTLY THIS: self-dealing is invisible when the counterparty wears a different name. You don't embezzle from the nonprofit, you sell to it, at your price, through a company you own. The charity pays “Superfeed” or “Resolute,” it reads as a normal vendor, and the profit lands with the same people who run the charity. 7. On their signed federal returns, TPUSA and Turning Point Action both answered "No" to the question regulators scan for self-dealing: any business transactions with an officer, or with a company an officer controls. WHY BAD ACTORS DO EXACTLY THIS: that box is the one you most need blank, because a "yes" invites the audit you're avoiding. And here's the defense they'll reach for, so let me get ahead of it. They'll say the "No" is technically correct: officer pay gets reported elsewhere, and this schedule only captures a company an officer owns more than 35% of. Fine. But that's exactly the problem. Those thresholds are the exits. Officer comp is excluded. A 34% stake is excluded. So a person can be paid by the charity, own a slice of the vendors it hires, and chair a company it does business with, and still, truthfully, check "No." The schedule built to expose insider dealing has doors an insider can walk right through. A "No" here doesn't mean there's nothing to see. It means the only way to see it is the one thing they haven't handed over: the ownership percentages and the payment records. That, again, is the audit. The pattern: Every one of these findings align to what someone committing fraud would do and reveals a behavioral pattern: to make the money harder to see, the recipient harder to name, and the total harder to add up. Real fraud isn't loud. It's a hundred small, individually-defensible decisions that all lean the same way, toward the insiders and away from the light. One of these could be considered a "quirk", but all seven, across every entity, for years, it is a design. I can't prove intent from a tax form. Intent lives in the bank records and the operating agreements, and those aren't public. But every structural choice here is the one a person with something to hide would make. That is the reason to open the books. Tyler Bowyer (and all of TPUSA, but I'll get there in the following parts) needs a real forensic audit, by the IRS, by the Arizona AG, by anyone with the subpoena power to pull what a 990 will never show you. They built the structure betting nobody would read the filings or pay attention. I'm paying attention. Part 2 coming next. Who do you want? Erika Kirk or Andrew Kolvet?
