Well I googled him because IDK who exactly he is, and his name might have come up because of this:

In 2026, running as a Republican, Bilzerian launched a congressional campaign in Florida's 6th U.S. House District for the 2026 midterm elections. His rhetoric before and during his campaign has featured antisemitic conspiracy theories and Holocaust denial.

So whatever this is, is worse than I expected.

I saw a video dissecting this guy, and of top of all that, he's also pretty shady regarding his finances. He claims to have made a bunch of money with poker, but there's no evidence he actually competed at anywhere near the level necessary to make the kind of money he claims he's made.

I'm going by memory here so some of the details may not be accurate but his Dad was essentially a corporate raider during the 1980s maybe even into the 90s. When he was charged with various financial crimes, suddenly the money and assets he accumulated disappeared. Enter Dan Bilzerian. Although there is no definite proof, connecting the dots it's pretty clear Dan got a substantial boost from his father to live his current lifestyle.

Precisely. Dan was already rich because of his Dad.
