And if there were not other people in the shop, I don\u2019t know what would have happened. I was having vegetables, eggs, dog s\u2013t thrown at the shop every morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mac Isaac previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/radio\/2021\/01\/05\/computer-repairman-hunter-biden-laptop-twitter-smearing-me-as-hacker-destroyed-my-business\/\">told<\/a> Breitbart News that Hunter Biden dropped the computer off at his shop on April 12, 2019, to conduct a \u201cdata recovery.\u201d He says he called Biden the next day to inform him the recovery was completed, but Hunter never picked it up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI became concerned over some of the content I was viewing,\u201d Mac Isaac told Breitbart News. He informed the FBI of the device before bringing it to former New York City Mayor Rudy Guiliani. Eventually, the <em>New York Post<\/em> came into possession of the laptop\u2019s contents and published a series of reports on them in October 2020, in the lead-up to the 2020 election\u00a0\u2014 which was extensively covered by Breitbart news.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe laptop reportedly contained emails detailing Hunter Biden\u2019s businesses with Burisma, a Ukrainian natural gas company, and\u00a0potential business deals with a Chinese energy company,\u201d Breitbart News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/clips\/2021\/04\/02\/hunter-biden-admits-laptop-at-center-of-scandal-could-be-his\/\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Mac Issac tells the <em>Post<\/em> that the circumstances surrounding his involvement with the laptop devolved into such chaos that he had to close his shop, and noted that on November 5, 2020\u00a0\u2014 just two days after the presidential election \u2014 he took off for Lakewood, Colorado. The 45-year-old says he stayed there with his family for about a year and took classes in woodworking.<\/p>\n<p>Mac Isaac tells the <em>Post<\/em> he applied for unemployment in December of 2020, though his unemployment cases were repeatedly closed and he had to use his 401k funds to cover bills. He then sent a letter to Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), a close ally of President Joe Biden, last December.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would hate to think that I was singled out in a politically motivated attack. If a state agency was weaponized to punish a perceived political enemy, the country has a right to know,\u201d he wrote to Coons, according to the <em>Post<\/em>. Following the letter, he began receiving unemployment funds, though he says it ended up being a few thousand short of what he was owed.<\/p>\n<p>Making matters worse, Mac Isaac sued Twitter over the platform\u2019s censorship of stories regarding Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop, according to the <em>Post<\/em>. Six months after the filing, a Florida judge dismissed the case with prejudice and ordered Mac Isaac to cover Twitter\u2019s legal fees, which he says is in the ballpark of $175,000.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cBankruptcy looks like my only option,\u201d he tells the <em>Post,<\/em> noting he now does odd jobs. \u201cA buddy of mine does estate clean outs, manual labor. I helped a neighbor redo their porch and I\u2019m trying to do more with woodworking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Mac Isaac told the <em>Post<\/em> that last September, he received an IRS invoice regarding his tax return from 2016, which he took as a threat. When he showed it to an accountant pal, his friend noted that the agency does not \u201cgo back that far unless they\u2019re looking for something,\u201d Mac Isaac says. He swiftly paid the sum of nearly $60, the <em>Post<\/em> reports. He noted that he had seen the progressive weaponization of the IRS over the past decade and decided not to contest the agency.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout 2021, Mac Isaac says Facebook censored his posts on the platform, leading to a suspension in September, before He successfully appealed the determination, the <em>Post<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n<p>The former computer technician now finds himself in uncharted territory. He has written a book chronicling his life since the laptop\u2019s revelations went public, but he has not found a publisher willing to work with him, the <em>Post<\/em> notes. Though his life has been upended, he says he would do it again.<\/p>\n<p><span> \u201cIf I had the choice to do it again, I would absolutely do it again,\u201d he told the <em>Post.<\/em> \u201cI was raised since 9\/11 to believe if you see something you say something.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The man who used to own the Delaware computer repair shop where Hunter Biden left his notorious \u201claptop from hell\u201d says bankruptcy looms, as his life has been turned upside<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1373398","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1373398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1373398"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1373398\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1373398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1373398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1373398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
