What an effing idiot. Zero sympathy for him if he was ripping people off. Enjoy prison! Lots of people felt strongly about this issue. So if they donated hard earned money for what they felt was right, and he stole that somehow - then I hope he ends up in prison.

The United States Postal Inspection Service assisted in the investigation.
Others in the indictment are Timothy Shea, a 49-year-old from Colorado accused of owning a shell company, Brian Kolfage, a disabled Iraq war veteran, and Andrew Badolato, who according to his own website was a contributor to Breitbart News, the conservative publication Bannon used to run.
The campaign was intended to raise money to help President Donald Trump fulfill a campaign promise to build a border wall. Instead, prosecutors allege that Bannon and his team profited off the arrangement.
