The information presented on this page is what we consider the most critical regarding the project’s past. We strive to provide comprehensive details as honestly as possible. We believe that everything posted is legitimate, unaltered, and offers a real glimpse behind the scenes at some of FJB’s most notorious moments. Some information here is quite incriminating and will reveal that the behind-the-scenes activities were significantly different from what was communicated and portrayed to the wider community. We acknowledge that this represents a critical viewpoint of the situation, and we are aware that there are positive aspects surrounding the project. However, it’s challenging to find such crucial data publicly accessible, as some members of the community go to great lengths to conceal it.
The following set of screenshots outlines one of the most important days in FJB history. On February 13, 2023, Sarah Abdul Elliott, the manager and primary liaison with the community for ‘the team,’ posted a message. She stated that ‘Ephysteyn* and Bannon have decided to transfer and assign the rights and obligations of $FJB.’ Following this, she sold her personal wallet, along with a significant portion of the project’s funds (which remained in the project wallets). Consequently, holders began to sell off, leading to an 80% drop in the price of FJB within a matter of hours
These first four screenshots depict one side of a conversation between Sarah and a core member of the FJB Advisory Committee (FAC). The other side of the conversation was removed shortly after these conversation for security reasons and before the importance of the conversations were fully understood. While there’s a lot to take in from these images, it’s evident that Sarah explicitly states Bannon and Boris’s intention to sell the project. After this was publicly announced, William Blair, a member of Bannon’s team, asked her to remove the messages. Subsequently, she advised someone to ‘sell it all,’ which could potentially be considered financial information and information other than what she was sharing with the entire community. This was at a time where the majority of the holders were not aware of these insights, and left confused as the series of events unfolded. Notably, Sarah was the first person to sell immediately at the time of the announcement. Her confirmed wallet address on the BSC network during this event is/was 0x515ea025e265eF2E2D4A2cdF2179A07A44C42532.
The fourth screenshot further details her concerns and the actual situation and there is quite the irony in asking “why lie? why continue leading everyone on?” when after this entire episode she continued to misslead the community as to these events and to the levels of engagement of Bannon and Boris.
The fifth screenshot is a day after these events which references mostly past episodes in the project, mainly the theft of funds by early creators of the coin. While some context of the conversation is lost without both sides, the information itself from Sarah is clear on this historic event and her position of innocence in it all.
The final two screenshots are the official message that Sarah posted before later deleting the messages and ignoring all questions about the messages and the actions that followed.
Here you can clearly see the over 80% drop in the chart for FJB on this day.
Here are some messages from one of Bannon’s team members, William Blair, to Sarah during the time of the above incident.
The crucial aspect of these screenshots, showcasing internal communications, is the apparent discrepancy: Bannon’s team appears to be presenting one narrative to the community, while other communications seem to contradict those statements. Sarah stated many times in the projects history that she was under and NDA with Bannon and Boris. It is hard to believe that these internal communications would not have been covered in that NDA as well.
The previous message from William Blair mentions a message from Boris:
The first post here is from Boris Epshteyn on 2/13/23 in the Official FJB Discord. It is a single sentence, accompanied by a copy of a post made by Grace Chong, on the same date, on GETTR. To our knowledge, there were no posts for at least six months prior to this one from Boris in the Discord.¹ No known follow up posts or actual direct mentions of either FJB or Patriot Pay is known to have been made by Boris anytime after this post.² The second screenshot is simply showing the join date of Boris within the Official FJB Discord.
On February 15th, 2023, during a broadcast of Steve Bannon’s WARROOM, Steve Bannon mentioned the FJB Project, just two days after the aforementioned incident. To the best of our knowledge, Steve had not mentioned the FJB Project in any context, nor on any of his platforms or social media, for six months, and possibly as long as a year, prior to this.³ This specific edit of the video was posted by a longtime community member, Jeff Roach, on his social media.
The first image here is taken directly from the website of Boris Epshteyn at www.BorisEP.com, approximately halfway down the homepage on 1/1/24. It is a banner that was created and placed on the site in early 2022, showing an advertisement to buy FJB at the exchange XT.com. The subsequent photos are official announcements from the Freedom Jobs Business Official Telegram Announcement Page. They detail the first known issue with XT starting on June 2, 2023, and the first official request from the project to remove coins from the XT exchange beginning on July 21, 2023. Almost every official announcement after this included a notice to remove coins from the exchange.
Additionally, since the project forked on December 16, 2023, this is essentially promoting a useless coin. This banner has been mentioned repeatedly over many months in both the Official Discord and the Official Telegram of the project by community members. Sarah consistently states that Bannon and Boris are actively involved in the project and are a part of the decision-making processes as the coin undergoes this forking process.
These messages are a few days after the 2/13/23 incident on 2/15 within the private FAC group.
These screenshots appear to be among the most critical, showing the perspective of the project manager, Sarah. She seemed to believe that Steven Bannon and Boris Epshteyn were primarily interested in the funds within a charity wallet. This revelation came at a time when people were still hopeful about the cryptocurrency’s potential and the involvement of Steve Bannon and Boris Epshteyn.
Community Response to the 2/13/23 Selloff:
It is very difficult to find screenshots, announcements, or any materials that provide insights into the community responses around the time of this event. Most have been removed from social media, Telegram (TG), Discord, and even secondary chat rooms that are not fully FJB-focused. These sources show gaps in their chat history around this period. If you have information that could help fill these gaps, please contact us.
While this specific screenshot doesn’t directly relate to the aforementioned event, it’s noteworthy that the date of this correspondence, 1/26/23, is just a few weeks prior to the incident. The conversation, although incomplete and only showing Sarah’s side of the conversation, it intriguingly starts with a statement of’ if they (Bannon and Boris) want out of the project.’
Moreover, it’s unusual for a manager to discuss the possibility of going to the news about a project. None of the project holders were aware of the $10k per month payments to ‘VFT,’ which were allegedly for ‘Boris’s friends that did fucking nothing.’ This is probably the first time most holders are hearing about this company, and this expense was never disclosed to the community.
During the recent fork process from FJB to PPY, initiated on December 16, 2023, the FJB liquidity on Pancake Swap in the BSC network was transferred to QuickSwap Decentralized Exchange on Polygon. Below, you will see a major concern raised by a community member on 12/26.
The first screenshot simply shows the official announcement from Sarah regarding the fork starting on 12/16/23.
The second screenshot, taken from the official FJB Telegram on December 26, 2023, is posted by one of the community members regarding QuickSwap’s Terms of Service. These terms explicitly restrict use by US residents. Considering many potential investors in Patriot Pay, primarily targeting American patriots, might use this decentralized exchange, this seems a significant oversight. Although QuickSwap appears not to strictly enforce this policy, the potential risk of future enforcement — including potential wallet blacklisting — poses an unnecessary risk for the project’s primary market. This seems like something that would be quite concerning.
The third screenshot displays immediate responses from two moderators in the FJB Telegram to the concerns raised in the second screenshot. The responses generally downplay the significance of the Terms of Service (ToS). EdG suggests that the DEX may not be widely used, implying it’s a non-issue. Meanwhile, JB indicates that this matter has been considered from a legal standpoint, but offers no evidence beyond personal opinion to support this claim.
The fourth screenshot is a response to concerns raised about QuickSwap’s terms of service, posted on the public forum known as StockTwits. The original messages can be found here. In this screenshot, Engarcon, the username for EdG on this platform, reiterates the perceived insignificance of the QuickSwap clear Terms of Service. He emphasizes that the APP will use Changenow and Transak instead of directly utilizing QuickSwap. However, he overlooks those who may prefer not to purchase via the app. Subsequent screenshots suggest that this might be a significant consideration.
The fifth and sixth screenshots, taken on December 18, 2023, from the ‘App-Support’ channel of the Official FJB Telegram, feature a series of statements by the moderator, JB, about QuickSwap. These messages not only imply that the moderators intend to use QuickSwap, but they also seem to encourage its use among others.
The seventh screenshot is from another Moderator, Wolverine, in the same Telegram on 12/20. It too seems to express that QuickSwap is likely be used quite a bit, and being pushed to regular holders as an ‘easy’ method to purchase the PPY token.
The eighth screenshot, posted by Sarah on 12/27/23, confirms that QuickSwap is indeed the chosen decentralized exchange for the Patriot Pay token. There is no known discussion from Sarah regarding the potential risk by the Terms of Service use by US residents.
While the subsequent screenshots may not be ‘critical’ per se, the discrepancy between the statements made and the information on Polygonscan is noteworthy.
The first screenshot captures Sarah claiming that everything was built from scratch. However, the second screenshot of the official code for the contract, which can be viewed here, reveals that the base contract for the project’s proxy contract — a special type of contract that allows future changes without a fork — is identical to the one found here which was created on 5/16/23. While open to interpretation, the evidence suggests that the proxy was not entirely made from scratch, contradicting Sarah’s specific claim. However, for balance, images 4 and 5 compare the original proxy contract’s functions with those in the newly deployed Patriot Pay contract, indicating some additional development for the new functions. Ultimately, whether this qualifies as ‘from scratch’ is subject to individual interpretation.
The third screenshot was taken during the review of this data. By clicking on the warning symbol on the right side of the second screenshot, a message appears indicating ‘compiler bugs.’ This message highlights various potential vulnerabilities in the code, categorized by severity: two as ‘very-low’, three as ‘low’, and one as ‘medium’.
We have much more content to share. Please be patient while we navigate life, the holidays, and work with trying our best to provide true information that holders deserve to have.
Page Note:
* – Boris Epshteyn is spelled incorrectly in the original announcement posted by Sarah. It is spelled ‘Ephysteyn’
1 – The main chats of FJB were wiped frequently and so far we have not been provided anything other than statements to support this as of 1/1/2024. A few have stated that the last interaction the project had with Bannon or Boris at this time was anywhere from 6 months, with some saying even up to a year prior.
2 – We have searched a number of socials and the data we have and have not found anything as of 01/01/2024.
3 – Similar to the issues above, the FJB Official Discord chats had been erased a number of times. While we have looked thru different platforms to find a mention of FJB by Steve, we have been unable to do so as of 01/01/2024.
Temporary holder for additional data to be organized:
