Employee: We Are Q. Citigroup: You Are Fired.
- 4 years ago
QAnon is a far-right conspiracy theory that claims President Donald Trump is fighting a global elite cabal of satanic pedophile sex traffickers.
Now, Business Insider reports Citigroup has fired a New Jersey employee of the company who ran a website dedicated to QAnon.
Jason Gelinas was previously put on paid leave when Logically.ai reported that he operated QMap.pub, a site that got an estimated 10 million visits a month.
It's a main aggregator of 'Q drops,' the messages that are the foundation of the baseless conspiracy theory.
The cryptic messages are left by an anonymous figure called 'Q' on 8kun, an anonymous message board formerly known as 8chan.
It's thought Gelinas may have had ties to 8kun, as the two websites shared an IP address.
