Mathew Whitaker was a US Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa. He later served on the board of a grift company called World Patent Marketing. Some of the company's customers accused the outfit of using Whitaker's background as a former US Attorney to threaten them. When the company was investigated for fraud, Whitaker simply rebuffed an FTC subpoena. The company was eventually determined to have engaged in deceptive practices.
Several execs from World Patent Marketing were fined, and most of them paid their fines and moved on. My recollection is hazy, but I believe Whitaker did not pay his fine...
And oh, yeah, Whitaker admitted that he himself did not need the "special toilet" that his company had patented for "well-endowed men."
I also recall some bullsh!t about time travel, too. I found one of the old World Patent Marketing press releases announcing that one of their board members was "on the verge of building the world's first working time machine." See the link for details.
The stench of grifter is all over this guy... a natural choice for Trump.
