Consultation Service Owned By Patrick Bet-David Profits from Calling Neo-Nazis ‘Experts’

GPAHE: An application called Minnect, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play, is allowing users to consult with far-right extremists and neo-Nazis, who are labeled as “experts,” for a price. Among the several extremists featured on the app, including some with a history of violence, are Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes, violent Islamophobe Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson), neo-Nazi Richard Spencer, and de-facto leader of the European white nationalist Identitarian movement Martin Sellner. These “experts” who have given “advice” to paying users have either previously, or are currently, calling for the marginalization of communities or for extremist takeovers of governments — with Tommy Robinson calling for “chaos” in his responses on Minnect.

Minnect was co-founded by podcaster Patrick Bet-David, who was found to be running multi-level marketing (MLM) companies, a controversial business model akin to a pyramid scheme, often associated with illegal marketing strategies and predatory recruitment practices. In 2013, he founded an investment group and YouTube channel called Valuetainment, and later “took a hard right shift into political commentary” through the “PBD Podcast” YouTube channel, which now sits at over 2.7 million subscribers. He’s hosted the likes of Alex Jones, Nick Fuentes, Tommy Robinson, rabid misogynists Andrew and Tristan Tate, and Donald Trump, of whom Bet-David is a staunch ally. Years of alleged MLM scams and podcasting with far-right bigots have culminated in Minnect, a profiteering strategy capitalizing on the far-right’s ongoing cultural takeover.
