US MP Matt GaetzFriend and ally Joel Greenburg, an accused sex trafficker now in jail on 33 federal crime charges, made “more than 150 venmo payments to dozens of young women,” one of whom was 17 at the time of the Daily Beast reported Wednesday evening.
The Florida Republican Congressman paid $ 300 direct to Greenburg with a unique emoji: “🏩”, which according to The Daily Beast stands for “Love Hotel”.
The payment “to the 17-year-old was made in June 2017. It cost $ 300 and, according to the note field,” food “.”
“Almost a year after Greenberg paid” in June 2017 “to the 17-year-old,” Gaetz Venmo’d Greenberg to hit “___”, using a nickname for the teenager. At this point she was 18 years old, and, as The Daily Beast reported, Greenberg described the payment as ‘school’. “
“Greenberg paid several young women (and at least one girl) hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars for Venmo in one transaction at a time,” said the beast, who reviewed years of transactions and described it as an “alleged sex ring.”
However, in the Venmo transactions reviewed by The Daily Beast, there were at least 16 payments totaling nearly $ 5,000 in 2017 to a woman who would later move on with Matt Gaetz. In April 2017, Greenberg also paid her $ 1,500 within two days using the Cash app. This woman, who came to Washington DC as an intern in January 2018, said she dated Gaetz during and after her senior year. “
