The computer repair store at the center of a scandal involving a laptop allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden that contained "smoking-gun" emails about the Biden family's foreign dealings has closed.

A neighbor said the owner skipped town, according to the Delaware News Journal. The outlet also reported that 10 days after the election, a sign appeared on the store's door to say that the shop had closed

I get the strategy of not giving a fake news story air, but libel suits or some sort of criminal repercussions need to start happening against some of these blatantly bad faith actors. If none of them even face repercussions, we're doomed to have more of them pop up.

Someone's probably writing up a right-wing version of Mr. Robot based around him right now

So many similar things within the arc of this election period I imagine will result going the same way.

Seems like there were just...so, so many scammers this go-around.

Did the "death threats" come in via a mysterious laptop that was dropped off by a mysterious man?

I am shocked that a story that originated from a man who claimed that the FBI called to ask him
1) how to access a hard drive
2) which charger they should use for a mac
turned out to be bogus.

The whole Hunter Biden thing felt like an op to me. The dick pics, the pictures of him with a crack pipe and a prostitute, were definitely real, maybe the emails too, but I was skeptical of the laptop being where they came from. It's not impossible to fabricate digital evidence in this way. The pics from probably came from an iCloud hack or something and the laptop story was just spun up to make it look like there was more there than actually was.

I love that in the end all this ended up being was "Hunter Biden has a huge dick, parties, and sleeps with beautiful women. Lock him up!!"

Well, if history has taught us anything, it's that this moron will be running for elected in office in 2-4 years

A libel suit is notoriously hard to win in the US.

LOL yep. Hunter is harmless. After these last couple years seeing Ivanka, Jared, and Trump Jr. I'm a lot more comfortable with Hunter Biden's behavior. Unlike Trump's pissant kids and son-in-law Hunter uses his dad's name to party and live his dream life instead of getting involved in government and policy.

From my understanding, a group of Russian linked hackers some Hunter's information and dumped it on a laptop that was to be dropped off at a random location.

Amateur bad movie plot bullshit, all of it.

That's a shame. It was shady as fuck since the very beginning.

My Dad was still saying how this was a big deal and would hurt our president-elect.

Honestly Hunter Biden was a more interesting conspiracy than the election stuff.

When customers dont return to pick up their laptops and you dont get paid, you cant stay in business.

And he wont get any more business either, handing over laptops to FBI. Exact opposite of what people want in laptop repair.

He should have learned from Nathan and hired asexuals to repai laptops, could have saved his business.
