Herman Cain, President Donald Trump’s reported pick for the Federal Reserve Board, spams his email list with weird money offers, including a recent one promising that readers could turn “$1,000 into $800,000” by using a “moneymaking strategy.”

From a Media Matters journalist:

Per Media Matters, Cain also has a history of promoting “penny stocks” to his email readers, small shares that are easily manipulated by promoters and manipulators.

Cain has a colorful history aside from the sketchy emails, and was once a Republican nominee for President before multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct.

    Not that we should be shocked. It’s as if Trump wants the Nigerian email guy on the Federal Reserve.

  3. Even the Republicans would not confirm this clown to the Fed.
    I sure would like to see who would vote for Mr 999, but don’t think it will get that far.
