A few years ago, my husband and I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/ep-62-friday-files-internet-sleuths-i-need-help-who-is-brandan-roneel-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">had dinner with a man who never existed<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At least, we don\u2019t think he existed.<\/p>\n<p>That evening has haunted me ever since and I am still searching for answers.<\/p>\n<p>I am finally ready to open up about what happened and call on my internet sleuths to help me solve this case.<\/p>\n<p>Will you help me finally discover who Brandan Roneel is?<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, I received an email from Brandan Roneel. He wanted to donate to Blexit, had already donated to Turning Point USA, and asked us to have dinner with him.<\/p>\n<p>Now, before we dive into the details, readers should be aware of the U.S. government backed-operation called COINTELPRO (Counterintelligence Program).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was a series of covert and illegal projects actively conducted by the United States FBI <a href=\"https:\/\/vault.fbi.gov\/cointel-pro\">aimed at surveilling<\/a>, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic American political organizations \u2014 mostly radical groups.<\/p>\n<p>That specific operation is supposedly over, ended in 1971, but who\u2019s to say they aren\u2019t trying something similar now?<\/p>\n<p>So we went to dinner with Roneel. We found out he was just 22 years-old. Then we found out he was an alleged genius, graduated college at 13 years-old, passed bar in California and New York, spoke nine languages, and he even ordered wine for the table.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, nothing in my mind said \u201cthis story doesn\u2019t add up\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was accompanied by his fiance who was a blue-collar cop from Arlington, VA. It seemed legit.<\/p>\n<p>Then it got a little strange.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the dinner, he handed us a check for $250,000. You can see the proof of this in my show today \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/show\/candace\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After we arrived home, my husband said to me that this situation doesn\u2019t add up.\u00a0He didn\u2019t believe this guy\u2019s story and said there were red flags. I didn\u2019t believe him \u2014 at first \u2014 I thought it was fine.\u00a0So my husband and I looked into him online. We saw he had a website for his foundation.<\/p>\n<p>But George said, \u201cNobody writes a check for $250,000.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So we kept digging and looked into the address that was listed on his check. It was a WeWork office building. That was a red flag.<\/p>\n<p>Then I looked into the \u201cSoFi\u201d bank which was listed on the check. The bank sort of checked out, but it\u2019s primarily an institution for students with student loans.<\/p>\n<p>I messaged TPUSA about him, started talking to them and realized he had told them a different story than he told us.<\/p>\n<p>He told them his parents were dead, but told us his parents were alive. He said he was in a gay relationship, but told TPUSA he had just converted to Mormonism.<\/p>\n<p>We decided not to cash the check and advised TPUSA to put a stop on the check he had given them.<\/p>\n<p>I kept digging. I found a post on Instagram from the police department where he had given a speech. There was a slide in his presentation that said \u201cWHO AM I?\u201d and listed facts about him. But those facts did not match what he had told us about who he was.<\/p>\n<p>He had told us he was a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. That could be true \u2014 but we found there was a web page that had once been created but now didn\u2019t work. That\u2019s a bit mysterious.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, the Roneel foundation did have an Instagram and there was a photo on there with Dan Crenshaw. That actually helped his legitimacy, but I still sent a text to Dan warning him that this guy might be a plant.<\/p>\n<p>Looking back on it all, was this guy trying to get us to cash this check and then blame us for taking foreign money or something worse?<\/p>\n<p>I kept thinking about that and it haunted me. It still does.<\/p>\n<p>In June of this year, I checked to see if there was anything else updated on the internet about him. Well, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.obits.org\/memorials\/8222-brandan-roneel\/life_story\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to an obituary,<\/a>\u00a0Brandan Roneel is now dead.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more interesting is that all of the profiles and websites that I previously found on him \u2014 have now been wiped. It seems he has disappeared without a trace.<\/p>\n<p>I looked for articles to find out how he might have died, but found nothing.<\/p>\n<p>It is as if I had dinner with someone who never existed.<\/p>\n<p>So my questions are:<\/p>\n<p>Who was Brandan Roneel?Was it just a crazy person playing \u201cCatch Me If You Can\u201d?Was it a legit person who really did decide to just donate $2500,000?Did really just die and was basically wiped off the face of the Earth?Or did the intelligence agencies attempt to plant someone in our organizations?<\/p>\n<p>I need your help in figuring this out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I need your help figuring out a mystery.
